Makray Memorial Golf Club

This course used to make you feel spoiled, the course was great, the range, practice area, the attention to detail. It seems that they are depending on their name to continue charging high rates, the attention to detail out on course was horrible, also, one of my pet peeves that courses are adopting is eliminating walking rates, completely just about greed, walkers are always faster than carts so they can’t use the pace of play argument, and drinking water on course, for what they charge they should have bottled water out in coolers, kind of like another local course, free of charge. I won’t be golfing here anymore this year.

Very fast greens, very good fairways, long rough

Hard to find the ball in the rough

Good sand in traps

A very good golf test. You get to play every club.

Staff was extremely friendly

Beautiful course, great layout.

Demanding Greens and Open Fairways.

Can’t wait to go back !!

I love this course but they charged too much for the shape the course was in. Should be charging less when conditions aren’t good.

Have been passed this course for many years. Finally had the opportunity to play it. Incredible !! Everything I had imagined it to be. Greens very challenging, wide fairways, but plenty of hazards along the way. Wonderful round, will definitely be back. Highly recommended !!

staff was very friendly, groups ahead were a bit slow we waited to hit most holes.

We golfed on a fall day and expected the fall weather and some wind and course was in good shape. Our issue was a combination of the pace of play and the lact of supervision by Mackray Golf staff. We played behind a grouup of men who were slow, they played from the gold tees (and they should have played up by the silver or green tees) and their slow golfing ruined the pace of play. On a par 3 no one reached the green and all players were short, but this slow play combined with the lack of Makray staff turned the possible great day into an average day. Please talk to groups and get a grip on the players ability and enforce play from the tee box which may not suit thier ego but allows for all members to keep up to the pace of play. - David

Really enjoyed Makray! Played in a beautiful Fall day and course was in great shape for the end of the season. Definitely one to play in the Chicagoland area!

I understand after a week of rain that courses are going to play wet, they absolutely continued to turn the sprinklers on however and every hole had standing puddles in the middle of the fairway. For starters, the course should have been closed, if it’s not they absolutely should not be charging full price (which they did). To top it off the green firmness resembles Pinehurst, impossible course to play and opening it to the public at full price was ridiculous.

Wonderful course, every hole is interesting and presents a different challenge. And the food in the restaurant is fantastic! One of my favorite places in the area.

Fun course to test your game on. Make your club selection Carefully. watch out for roll backs from the crowns. Have fun.

Greens were bumpy and played super fast. If you’re going to go for a 11+ stimp at least make sure they role true. 4 foot uphills putts rolled off the green behind us multiple times. Not an enjoyable round.

Paid $70 to pay course on Monday! No notice that tee boxes and greens were aerated recently.

Greens were in horrible condition dead spots with lots of bare spots.

Crews were on course spraying all fairways during our play. Blue chemicals on balls and shoes the entire time. White foam all over Fairway from sprayer. Looked like golf balls…and with cart path only. Made it hard to find ball and gauge yardage.

No chargers in golf cart for phone, etc.

In general not a pleasant experience for what I consider a high price for 18 holes in these conditions and no notice that conditions would be that way.
