Rough
First off, it was cart path only, which made things more difficult. While most of the fairways were pretty dry, there were some squishy spots. I didn't feel we had enough rain lately to create these conditions, so attribute some of it to poor course drainage design.
Started off on the wrong foot. I was instructed to get a cart from the garage and that a card would be on the cart. There were cards on the cart - all used.Then, there were no signs directing you to Hole 1. I had to interpret where it was from the map on the card (made harder as the clubhouse was not on the map) and by asking some other players.
This is a fairly difficult course. Water comes into play on at least 11 holes. In general, if you are not in the fairway, you will be shooting either above or below your feet, as many holes were lined with moguls. That being said, the fairways were relatively narrow as well. On Hole 10, if you were anywhere left of the cart path, you were OB anywhere right of the fairway was water. Not a lot of leeway for an errant shot. Many of the traps were either under repair or had been abandoned to weeds.
I played this course once several years ago. I'm wondering if it had undergone some major redesign, as it didn't look at all familiar. Maybe I am just not good enough, but I will not be back. Plenty of better/less frustrating courses to play for the money.
Best Round of Golf, for me
Today was a good day. Course was in very good condition and played the best 9 holes, on the back 9 in my life. Shot 1 over Par which is great for me. This course is great and worth the 50-55 minute drive for me. Hit em straight and you will be rewarded.
Acorns is a gem
We have played Acorns for years. They are constantly working to improve the course and amenities. Play was slow on Saturday, but it was a holiday weekend. Greens were in great shape.
Diamond In The Rough
Beautiful tee to green! Staff friendly and accommodating!
Wife Beat Me Up
Nice day for a twosome. Adapting for tee box and handicap we had a close game on a course that offered us both excellent challenges.
Nice Day For Golf
Did a later tee time today and the course was busy. We had a group of teens (4) in front of us and they were playing from the blues. We sat for a bit and didn’t hear anyone hit a ball so we peeked around the weeds and there was a shoving match going on up on the tee box! I assume it was over because they were all over the course, on the left and the right sides, no one close to the fairway… To say it was a long front nine ( 2 hrs. 50 min) was an understatement. They went in at the turn and we went on by. Last 9 holes; 1 hr. 55 min. but we’ll be back. Enjoy the course layout and the golf carts are great as well.
Great Day in Illinois farmland
Somewhat challenging course in good condition. Greens were true with nice speed.
