Greens poor condition

The course use to be very nice But now.its falling apart greens very slow and beat up sand is unplayable . There is grounds grew all over the place getting g in the way and not doing anything to improve course conditions. This could be a nice course again with a good grounds crew manager and a ranger driving around to speed up pace of play which is VERY slow.

Forest preserve national

This will always be the best forest preserve course in Illinois. Great track, needs a little bit of tlc, but for the price it’s a winner.

Good Course, reasonable price.

I really enjoyed the course. The bunkers were in better condition than they were a couple of weeks ago

My only complaint is a big one. The club house staff made no attempt to enforce the posted rule requiring the wearing on masks by patrons in the clubhouse. Msny people were in and out of the clubhouse without masks. Their failure potentially exposed me and others the Coronavirus. Not good. A serious offense.

Bad Experience

Course was poorly maintained, and pretty expensive for the quality. I've been to others in the area since and its not even close. Pace of play was also very slow.

I also had a billing issue that resulted in me paying for the same round for our threesome twice ($400 for one round of golf, at a terrible course). It was easily solvable, but received no help from the staff and was never refunded. Not to mention, pretty rude.

Understand they need revenue, especially in the COVID world, but don't think that means ignore reasonableness and common sense.

No longer the gem I remember

I hadn’t played here in several years, and it’s disappointing to see how the course has declined. Many of the fairways were chewed up, and it seems the numerous bunkers hadn’t received new sand in 5 years. Even the GPS carts are no longer (though that could be covid-related, I’m not sure).

Still a great layout and the staff was wonderful. But at $72 for 18 and a cart, it’s no longer the “value” play on the southwest side.

We are currently working hard on getting bunkers back in shape. Check out our FB page we just got our first 2 truckloads of new bunker sand in yesterday, and we will have many more on the way

Swamp

This course could be one of the best in the area, instead it’s traditionally in terrible shape in regards to drainage.

Sand Traps (unplayable) have been a problem for years if not decades. Standing water in 90% of fairways .

Not going to fool me again. Never coming back!

Great course for good golfers

This is a great course with a challenging layout and difficult greens. The pin locations are also fairly challenging, often near the perimeter of the green and protected by sand or water. In any case, it is a fun course to play. The greens rolled well, tee boxes were in great condition. Fairways had some spots that were a bit beat up and a few spots of standing water. Also, since it had rained the night before the bunkers were like hitting off of pavement and a few had standing water. But for the price definitely can't complain for the overall quality of the course. Nice pace too, walked with 3 in about 3:45

HORRID CONDITION OF COURSE!!

A tragedy with all the money spent over past 10 years to witness the condition of this course.. This reminds me of 2004/06 days where people would walk off the course after playing first hole to request their money back.

"Pot holes" in fairways........greens don't even look like they are being watered. The worst are the many sand traps having six/eight inch weeds growing through them after they spent the past eight years re doing most of the sand traps. They filled in sand traps on 16th hole and did a POOR job of seeding over so its very obvious there were sand traps there at one point.

Just an absolute shame to see how the condition of the course has deteriorated in a short time. Probably Pandemic related with giving adequate maintenance.

I would only play again for $20.

Not the old forest preserve national

Not the old gem it used to be.

Good value for the price paid but for a few more bucks, course could be in much better shape.

Challenging course in great shape with some of the prettiest cart girls I've seen. I would highly recommend this course and I like to play it at least twice a month.
