Ravisloe Country Club in Homewood was recently ranked #6 as “Best Courses You Can Play” in Illinois by Golfweek Magazine in March 2014. Golfers now have the ability to access Ravisloe’s mobile website and use the GPS function. Ravisloe Country Club was established in 1901 as a private course. The course was renovated and redesigned between 1917 and 1919 by Donald Ross, who also designed the popular Beverly Country Club in Chicago, as well as many other courses through the United States. It became a public course in 2009, allowing everyone to enjoy the well positioned bunkers, the rolling hills of the fairways and the Spanish-style architecture of the clubhouse.
