Windy City South

Play today with a great foursome: best friend, my son's best friend from out of town, and a new friend who joined us again after playing with us 2 days ago.

Wind 20 plus mph with Gusts close to 40. Greens and fairways in great condition. Wind didn't matter as we played match play per cart and still have fun in spite of the wind.

Kudos to the staff for having a course in great shape.

Nice course

Very nice greens, wide fairways very golfer friendly, a couple of challenging hole makes it fun as well, for the money nothing else in the local area compares. I belong to a Alabama country club, 10 handicap and really enjoy this course

Good bang for the buck!

Fairways and greens were in great shape! Looks like this course was something special

In its day, but it could use some TLC around the edges (cart paths, rough, etc.).

Very nice conditions

Have played a few other courses in the area and these were the nicest we have encountered. The rough was still not grown in enough, but the fairways and greens were fabulous. will return as soon as possible.

Very nice condition for a rainy February

Considering all the rain we’ve had in 2021 this course was by far the best condition of any course I’ve played in the area. Good pace of play as well as courteous staff.
