Phillips Park Golf Course

Be prepared for people to be on the course that have never played golf before. We were stuck behind 2 groups of young men who seemed as though they’ve never swung a club and didn’t know the first thing about etiquette. No rangers to be found either. Overall it’s a decent public course but gets entirely too much play and several worn areas showed this. If you can get it for under $30 then it’s worth a play.

I picked probably the worst weather day of the year to attempt to play.

To their credit, the management let us out in cart with no restrictions. They granted us a 9 hole rain check (we confirmed before we went off).

All in all, course seemed fine. Very wet, and rough in some areas was very long as it probably has been too wet to cut. We played the back 9 and there seemed to be a large number of back pin positions.

Looking forward to the other 9 on a better weather day!

I always like playing this golf course. Good value and challenging course.

The Staff was very accommodating. Our original tee time was for 1:22. The Pro allowed us to Tee off @12:06 to beat the incoming Rain. We played through a steady drizzle on the Front9. The Back 9 was in great shape. The staff was friendly. The Course was in great shape. The Greens rolled true. I would highly recommend this course.

The rough was at least 6” long. If you were lucky enough to find your ball, even if just a few feet off the fairway, it was impossible to hit well.

No beer cart, but besides that it was perfect. I will be returning for another round!

Fun course. Very playable but has some teeth. Great value. Would recommend to all levels of players.

If you haven't played this course before, it really is the tale of two courses. First part is fairly open. Then Number 9 hits you. Many winding and tree lined fairways from there. Not super long but you can find trouble if you are too errant.

Played early bird deal and got out before the bulk of the course traffic. Played in 3:05. Hats off to the walker in front of us who started out 1/2 hole ahead and finished 3 ahead.

Greens were true and a good pace. Fairways were ok, rough was juicy. Tees had recently been plugged, so you had to clear yourself a clean spot. That, and several bunkers in need of repair (duly disclosed by the posters in the clubhouse) kept the course condition rating where it was.

Staff is always pleasant and accommodating at oPhillips. Greens were in excellent shape as was the course in general. Excellent value for the $$.

The course was in good shape except for the greens. They just aerated and scraped a week or two ago. We were 3-4 jacking every hole. It was VERY annoying and not much fun at all........

This was the first time I played this course and I'm going back to play it again!

The white tees are a little short roughly 6000, Blues around 6400! Course was in really good shape for so late in the season!! Greens were not too fast as very

Fair ! Sand traps in wonderful condition!

I loved the elevation change especially on the back, something we're not use to here in Illionis ! We pakyed in a 3:15 course was not crowed perhaps threats of rain keep people away!, but it was a beautiful afternoon! Great course for the money ! Definitely on my replay list !

I like the layout. Tee boxes are pretty level. Pace was a little slow. Not enough pissers. Greens were in terrible condition.
