Kankakee Elks Country Club

Course was in GREAT SHAPE. The Pro...Andrew is always very friendly and willing to help.

Great Course a MUST PLAY! Even the trees are maintained.

Take the time and we be down and play this gem. Course was in excellent condition, great fairways, great greens!
Easily walkable.
Out far enough from the hustle and bustle to make it an experience.

Great course go their often ,now with it being on golf now will go more often staff is always great

Played this course more than a dozen times. Always presents a good challenge. Greens here are always immaculate. They were plenty receptive and still rolled out nice. Lots of undulation on most greens as well, so bring your good putting game. Mix of short and long holes. Course doesn't kill u with its length. Wayward drives will lead to a ton of punch-outs with basically every hole lined with mature trees. Water in play on only the par 5 finisher. Overall, always a great round. This kind of course in and around the immediate Chicago area would run you north of $60 a round. I got a deal on golf now, but even the normal weekday rate of $20-$30 w/cart is an absolute steal.

this is a well designed and maintained course and I would definitely want to play it again

Enjoyed playing the course very much. I needed to use most of my clubs. everyone on the course was friendly and courteous.

Excellent condition and challenging. A great value at the GolfNow rate.

Good elevation changes
Lots of mature trees
Huge rolling greens
One of the best in illinois for sure!

Great course very pretty nice that it does not play through houses all you see is course. Tough elevated greens

I had never played this course before but read the reviews and thought that it sounded challenging. Boy was it ever as many of the greens were not only elevated, but very undulated and difficult to hold. It also played much longer than the yardage and the slope of the course is in my opinion way too low. While I struggled with my play (ended up under and behind a lot of trees and approach shots often rolled off), I enjoyed the course. I would love another crack at it, but I was just passing through.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They even cleaned up the showers for me after I mentioned that I needed to take a shower after playing but the floor of the showers were dirty from some maintenance work.

I would definitely recommend the course....especially for the Hot Deal rate.

This is a well maintained course with raised greens. A fun play!

Not super long at 6600 yds. but greens are tough with a lot of undulation.

Per my previous review this track challenges your game from all aspects....a true gem which I wish I lived closer to but then it would be crowded, extremely expensive and in rough shape. If I had a choice between Ravisloe or Elks (two south of Chicago old school courses always worth playing) I'd pick the Elks hands down. I enjoyed this course so much I had to get back to it as quickly as possible.

Played with my foursome on a Saturday morning. One of the first groups out. Course was in great shape! The fairways were mowed and greens were perfect. The rough was lush so avoid if possible. The greens were fast and had lots of movement. The course reminds you of a course you would see on television during a golf tournament. Not too long but you have to make shots. The course defends itself well.

1926 parkland design with strategic mounding that repels and routes shots in bad directions and retains it's original character completely. Golf Week magazine got this one right in regards listing this as #8 of the best public courses you can play in Illinois for 2013. Course needs to be played more than once to understand it.....each shot needs to routed properly.....crazy fast greens with large slopes and breaks....short siding will kill your card. Plays longer than the yardage listed and the 119 slope is a tad low in my humble opinion. 5 stars in my book and only my 2nd 5 star rating this year. I'll return to enjoy the fall colors.

This course keeps getting better and better every time i play. The pace of play was fine for the day.

Took my 13 year old grandson, we took our time and had a blast.

This is my all time favorite golf course. There are no bland cookie cutter holes. Each holes present it's own unique challenges. Great elevated, undulating greens will keep you from getting too comfortable over your puts. The course is in amazing shape and worth twice the price you pay.

nice course with mature trees and fun greens. feels like your playing out in the country
