As the cart moves around the course, a graphic of each hole is displayed. The graphic shows the entire hole, including sand, water, bunkers, trees, and rough areas. It also displays the yardage (within 1 to 2 yards) to the daily pin placement and is updated as golfers move toward the hole. No more guessing yardage to the current hole.

World-renowned course architect Robin Nelson considers Ravenwood's location a designer's dream. "This is the best site for a natural golf course terrain that I have ever seen," says Nelson. "The site itself is a golf course, we just have to prepare it for play." The gentle rolling topography of the site lends itself to the traditional school of course design, most associated with legendary architect Donald Ross. Holes flow with the terrain, causing little disturbance to the existing landscape. This type of design also endeavors to take advantage of the natural beauty inherent in the site. Architect Nelson compares the Ravenwood site to that of Shinnecock Hills Country Club on Long Island, site of the 1995 and 2004 US Opens. Ravenwood is truly a magnificent golf course to have your Resort Golf Schools of America at.

You'll love relaxing at poolside. Our heated indoor/outdoor pool is actually two cleverly-designed pool sections interconnected by a swimmable channel. Its sheltered west-facing location reveals splendid valley views across the treetops. In summer, the outdoor pool and patio is a favorite spot for sunbathing, casual swimming and poolside gatherings. Inside, the all-season pool's four-lane width provides serious lappers and swimmers with elbow room aplenty.

If you like hiking, this is an added bonus. From The Lodge, the scenic Crescent Trail meanders cross-country for 12 miles across glacially-formed hills and moraines covered with oak and hickory forest to the historic hamlet of Bushnell's Basin and the famous Erie Canal. Maintained by a local hiking association, the trail is a wonderful place for walking, hiking, bird watching, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. Join this well-posted footpath directly behind The Lodge. We are at the trail's highest elevation (Horizons Hill), 825 feet above sea level. There are plenty of other outdoor activities to do, but suffice to say you will enjoy the combo of Woodcliff Hotel and Spa and Ravenwood Golf Club.
