Course vs Staff (tossup)
Strangest incident for an otherwise terrific round.
I arrived in the early evening. The gentleman inside (went by “DD”) was a good fella and said “go off 10”. Perfect. No worries. I’m alone, with a cart. I’ll play a 2 hour round if there’s no traffic.
As I’m approaching the 10th tee, “DD” comes out and says “hey. Let these guys play thru”.
These guys were a 3 or 4some (w/carts).
I said “DD. I’m gonna be gone before the second guy gets out of the cart”. He looked at me, clearly frustrated that I wasn’t hoping to let (watch) 3-4 guys play thru my single. “But they’re making the turn. Your just teeing off.” Yes DD. Because this is where you told me to tee off.
He frustratedly said “we’ll get moving then!” haha (Id been at the course for 4 minutes in total). :)
Of course I did. Shot my 80 (amazing round). Saw no one until 7 (16 to me) and finished in 2 hr 10 min.
Side note, the group behind me (at 10) was amazing and said “yeah man. No way are we playing thru you.”
After the round, I went inside to return the card key and buy a pop for the road. DD (nor did anyone else) say a word to me.
As I left, I said “DD. I wasn’t trying to be rude. I just knew I was finishing two hours before that group.” He said “don’t worry about it”. I said “I wasn’t. It just seemed that you are.” He ignored me.
In short. Course is great. And if you’re an Elks member, I have to think it’s lovely.
As an outsider, I don’t know… it just seems maybe they don’t want ya.
Disappointing moments for an otherwise terrific day of golf.
Great Course
Starting with the super friendly staff, challenging, elevated greens, this course is always a great value, highly recommend for any level golfer
One of best layouts and values in Chicago area
Can’t say enough great things about Kankakee Elks. Layout is fantastic. Greens can be diabolical. Mounds, moguls and bumps make for interesting shots and lies throughout round. Wish I lived closer so I could play more often.
Best value
Great course. Greens were smooth a little slow but understandable with all the rain. Best value in Chicago
