A tad overrated

This course seems to be all the rage since it opened several years ago, but I failed to see what all the fuss is about. This course excels with the facilities. The clubhouse and driving range is first class. The course itself, however, was nothing memorable. The greens were pretty beat up and the layout doesn't offer anything special. I feel the value for the money spent wasn't there.

Windy chilly day

First time playing the course. Winds were up 20mph+ which made an unfamiliar course even tougher.
Course was in great shape. Greens had many subtle breaks and contour which made it very challenging.
Would like to play again.

Unimpressed

I see some good reviews for this course but I did not care for it. The holes are not framed with any point of reference and the holes are not distinct with the exception of the island par 3. The course is poorly marked and the curbs on the cart path are a recipe for slow play. The staff was not friendly at all. No way I would pay to play here again.

Way to slow

Very nice course overall. Great course layout, especially the back nine. Course was in good shape, although I think the greens rolled a bit to fast. Despite that, we had a unsatisfactory round. Way to slow, nearly 5 hours for 18 and waited and almost every shot. Maybe we just went on a bad day. I'll probably be back to see if the pace is bad again. Would otherwise be a great course for a decent price.

Highly recommend

Booked Bolingbrook for 40 bucks @ 320 on a Saturday afternoon. Course was in great shape. Greens were a 4.5/5. Quick. Rolled true. Only complaint was that I found more ball marks than I expected on a course this nice. That's more on the people playing it though. Tough but fair with 5 different sets of tees. Excellent and HUGE driving range with plenty of room to move tees around so there's always fresh turf to hit from. Kept in great shape. I would recommend this course to anyone for 65-70 bucks or less. Standard rate of 99 is a little high IMO. I will be back soon to play here again .

Great shape

Course is in fabulous shape. Greens run true and smooth. They were quick but not outta control....
The course is challenging but plays fair with bail out areas around the green.

Great experience

I always wanted to play this course and it didn't disappoint. The staff is great and it was a private country club experience. Very challenging but rewards good shots. The green were true which made putting a dream. Got a great deal ($45) which enticed me to finally play the course. I have to say that I would gladly pay a higher fee in the future. My new favorite course.

Country club service and pace of play at a public course

This is a top five public course in the Chicago Area. The course and service are always top notch. I understand they get a bad rating sometimes by reviewers for value but you cannot compare the course and service level to the $50 a round courses in the area. This course should only be compared to the other top facilities in the area and I can tell you at the higher level the value at Bolingbrook has always been top notch. That includes having 10 minute tee times which gives you the pace of play everyone wants. The $50 course push you out as fast as possible and never manage pace of play.

Great overall experience.

It was raining the entire round but the course held up very well especially considering all the rain we've gotten in the last few weeks. The course is challenging but very playable. The greens were fantastic.

Outing really slowed things down

If you are booking a tee time at Bolingbrook, just verify that there is no outing on the course when you'll be playing. Things were jammed up and we waited every shot.

Overall the course was in good shape, but the tee boxes and greens were pretty beat up, no doubt from all of the rain we have had.

I generally really like to play this course, but yesterday was a grind.

4 hours to play 13 holes

The first 13 holes were great. After four hours i couldn't stand waiting 15 minutes between every swing. Attention is needed to pace of play. The course drained well after recent rain.

Brutal pace! 5hr+

After watching/hearing multiple groups in front of us get comped for their round, case of ProV1, and case of Pinnacle "in case I'm playing bad" I should have kept my money in my pocket and played another area course for the sake of saving the hardship we endured trying to finish this round.

LOTS OF FAIRWAY, WATER WILL CATCH YOU OFF GUARD

IN WINDY CONDITIONS THIS COURSE IS DIFFICULT. WE WERE PLAYING WELL THROUGH 11, THEN WINDS AND LITE RAIN MADE THE COURSE HARD TO NAVIGATE AND IT WAS NOT MUCH FUN FROM THERE. 3 WOOD OFF THE TEE IS THE BEST OPTION ON MOST HOLES. GOOD BEER AND APPS AT THE BAR - CART GIRL ATTENTIVE. THE HUGE CLUB HOUSE IS MAYOR CLAARS FUNHOUSE.

Cool par 3

There are two really cool par 3s over water. One is to a complete island green. Fairways are pretty generous and the rough is cut short so you can spray the driver a little bit. Greens are pretty big and putting can be challenging.

Amazing range, and incredible club house with a great bar.

The conditions Of the course we're below expectations. Several of the holes were badly damaged by people playing earlier in the day. Fairways and green were average public course conditions. Fine but not great.

retired superintendent

The course is tough but fair. In very good condition. The problems I had with my golf experience here are: 1) You have to walk alot even if you get a cart. The paths are twice as far away from the greens as normal on other courses, and they prevent you from driving up to the approach as normal stopping you from coming as close as 125 yards on a few holes. 2) We played behind a slow group which I know will happen. And was ok with it, but the ranger keeped coming up and explaining how he trying to hurry them. He came up so often it made us uncomfortable until I told him bluntly I don't mind they're not that slow.

CHICAGO'S BEST

This course is one of my favorites to go to. It is a true country club for the public. Everything about Bolingbrook is top notch from the practice facilities, to the fairways, to the halfway house, to the massive clubhouse. Tough course to play but no matter how bad I play, its always a great time at this course.
