Dear Club Members,
We are thrilled to be able to continue to open all of the amenities and services at Ravenna. As a reminder, tonight is the first night of in-person dining since March and we'll have live music in the performance pavilion with dining on the terrace and pool deck at La Bella Vita on Thursday and Friday nights. Added to that, we are opening up the pool on Saturday!
As we mentioned earlier in the week, pool reservations will be required for the time being in order for us to safely and effectively provide an enjoyable experience for Members and Guests while adhering to local and state guidelines. We have added a new pool calendar to our website and reserving your time will be a simple process similar to RSVP'ing for our dining and events. Below you'll find:
- Instructions to RSVP for the pool and/or cabanas
- Pool hours and rules
- Swim Lesson information
Pool and Cabana Reservation Instructions
1. Login to your Member profile at ravennagolf.com. Your username is
2. Find the online Pool Calendar here (shown above) or by selecting Dining & Social > Pool Calendar on the top navigation menu.
3. Pool and Cabana Reservations are split into a first session (11-2pm) and a second session (3-6pm). The hour gap from 2-3pm allows dedicated time for our pool staff to clean and service all areas of the pool deck between sessions. Pool reservations may be reserved 7 days in advanced; Cabanas may be reserved anytime. To reserve a cabana for the full day ($50), simply make a reservation in both the morning and afternoon time slots.
4. Reserve your spot as you would for dining or an event on the calendar by selecting "Click here to register" (shown below).
5. Select and increase your party size to add additional Members. There are 6 cabanas available. When reserving a cabana, just reserve as a party of "1" (you don't need to put all of your family and/or guests in the reservation). For example, if the Smith party of 8 is reserving a cabana, they just need to input 1 reservation, not 8. Then select "Save Registration."
For Members reserving a cabana, we will be happy to prepare your cabana with iced down beverages 15 minutes prior to your scheduled arrival time. Simply email Justin ([email protected]) with your order after reserving your cabana.
This pool reservations are scheduled to go through June online and we will evaluate on an ongoing basis if we need to continue the reservation system to comply with guidelines through the summer. Thank you for your cooperation under these new guidelines to help us deliver the best experience possible at La Bella Vita and throughout our Club.
