Still bad
I was hoping things might have improved here, with Kemper Sports supposedly managing the course this year. But whoever is "managing" this, isn't doing much. The starter is a septuagenarian who doesn't know what he's doing. On a mid-morning Saturday, when the course was jammed, he sent out a 4some, then a 2some, then a 4some, then a 2some. Ever heard of combining 2somes, or putting a single with a 2some to make a 3some? The 2hr35min front 9 was painful and predictable. No apologies from the staff or efforts to speed play were made. The women in front of us were waiting for the green to clear from 250 yds, despite having trouble hitting it more than 50 yds at a time. The bunkers were all washed out and unattended to, with a mixture of mud and hardpan. Oddly, they had been machine raked on only two holes (12 and 13). Why? Who knows. No explanation or warning was offered for the course conditions. The greens were littered with unrepaired ball marks. The back-right corner on the 7th green had recently been aerified, due to damage. So, they decided to put the hole there, instead of the other 6,000 sq ft of pin-able green. The beer selection was poor in the drink cart. Nothing other than light-beer-type swill. The $60 green fee to play here on a weekend is crazy. If I had paid full price, I would be even more upset. Having seen no signs of improvement, I won't be back this year.
Nice course, slow play
Course was well maintained and in good shape. Carts with GPS are nice. Only problem out here is pace of play. Group in front of me was playing 3 golfers with one bag. There was no starter to manage golfers teeing off; having a starter can help smooth the flow of the course and prevent things like 3 people playing out of one bag - that shouldn't be allowed, and they need to make sure people know to let others through.
speedy unmarked greens!
The course is in great shape right. Excellent manicure. Subtle breaking slick greens. It was an excellent round of golf.
very well taken care of. greens roll great and the fairways are a dream to hit from.
Super nice facility and a very well taken care of course. The only knock is that it isn't closer for me to play all the time.
Best Carts in Illinois
AWESOME COURSE. This was a course that is normally really expensive. We got the hot deal that day and took advantage. Very difficult yet very enjoyable
