incredible value

If you enjoy courses like Foxford, Thunderhawk, White Deer...then check this place out, We had a 7 am tee time and loved the pace. We enjoyed it so much we ran a replay(which was cheap) and our 2nd round was just as quick as our first. Great conditions, tough but fair course. Greens were quick when they dried out, and the course condition was great. I will be back soon as the value is amazing...drive took about 35 minutes for us from Des Plaines

The bathrooms were disgusting and pace slow

I tried to use comfort stations and bathroom at the turn but no toilet paper was present and the bathrooms were dirty.

The group behind us continued to drive into us even though we were waiting on the group in front of us. When we asked the ranger to speak to both groups, we were told they are regulars and we just need to understand... Unacceptable!

MJHOPPER

Extremely disappointed. When we arrived at the course we were told that there was no starter no rangers and that there was no beverage cart person today. We played on a Thursday at 3:00 and there were groups of 5 on the course mixed in with singles and 2 somes. It was a perfect day to play but the play was so slow after the first 9 we had to drive around the course to jump on empty holes to try to get 18 in. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Slow everything

Over 5 hours rounding and slowest green I have ever seen on this course.
Fairway conditions are good.
Course ranger could not manage playing time and ended up being 5 hours and 15 min 18 hole round.

One of my favorite courses

So I love this course - it's challenging yet fair, shot making but open and if you're making your shots - you can really score well. The conditions are usually outstanding and I am always thrilled with the staff.

It's ~ $50 on GN right? Grass tees on the practice areas, a beautiful putting green, someone who comes to your car and picks up your clubs and a starter that actually knows the course (and will make some suggestions if you want them). All of this for $50.

Beautiful course. Rough is very thick around the greens so it plays pretty tight but overall one of my favorites to play.

Great Value

Challenging course, especially for first timers with no knowledge of the layout. Plenty of risk/reward opportunities and the greens were quick with some tough reads. Pace of play was just shy of 5 hrs which was the only drawback. Will definitely be going back again soon!

Not bad, for March

I played this course on 3/30, they only had two sets of tees set up and the back ones were basically at the back of every tee box. It was a chilly day with at least 6 holes play straight into the wind. The conditions and wetness of the course made for a difficult round of golf. The 8th hole is a beyond stupid par 5, borderline unfair, especially without GPS on the cart they provided. During the summer this course is one of the best values around, but it was in pretty rough shape this early in the season. Overall I like this place very much, but wait until May or June..

Beautiful layout with numerous wetlands

Nice track with good use of wetlands and bunkers to enhance design. Good variety with some short par 4's and some par 5's which require layups for the longer hitters.

Challenging course but opportunities to score.

A long course with natural and man-made challenges along the way. The Par 5's are pretty gimmicky, but still fun for a little variety. Beware of cranky neighbors shooing you off their lawns as the course winds through the community. I normally prefer to walk, but you need to ride this course as it is spread out and the next tee box is often a block or two away. A fun course and certainly different than anything else I have played in the western burbs. Worth the drive.

Good mix of challenges

Whisper Creek offers good variety -- no two holes are alike. Holes are memorable. The greens are challenging but not tricky. Generally what you see and think are accurate.

Nice, fair course in great condition. Feels like a private club.

Great place to play, has a country club feel. Layout is fair and fun. Jameson's is the restaurant at the clubhouse serving steaks, burgers, etc.
