Brown’s Lake

Nice course. Good value for the money. Course in good shape. Bridge out between 3rd and 4th hole was inconvenient. Lugging your clubs across the bridge not the most fun. The staff was very friendly and the free beer for the inconvenience helped. I’ll be back.

Excellent customer service

I selected “Saturday tee times” on the GolfNow website only to find out the actual tee time was reserved for the following Saturday...not user friendly on the Golfnow website...anyways the club was booked too the tee and the staff was above and beyond to make room for us to golf and fit us in somehow and we really appreciated the extra effort to accommodate us!

Friendly staff, well maintained course

Great clubhouse staff. Always friendly and helpful. Course is old style with small greens and tight fairways. Always in good condition. Bridge over Fox River is not safe for carts, but staff solved the problem, plus a free beverage. If you live near Burlington, play this course. Cheers

Really trying to please

Pretty course, with a tight layout between fairways that looked chaotic with many golfers, but somehow it all worked out. A bridge is under repair and management thanked you for your patience with a free drink. Come with a good attitude and you’ll like this course.
