fair test of golfing skills

Only reasons I did not give four stars on course conditions were some greens showed a lot of winter damage and several of the sand traps were undergoing new drainage installations.

The missing Link

If you are looking for a great links style course The Links of Carillon is what you are looking for. Several challenging holes, great staff and the hots dogs at the snack shack are HUGE!

Well Maintained Course!

Great course! Well manicured! Office are friendly and the Manager also! The starters are a problem some are picky on Golf Cart numbers and times. A few starters were rude around the turn!

One of the better conditioned courses this year!

Many courses in Chicago this year have been stressed by the weather - hot, very humid, excessive rain, etc. However, this course was really in nice shape. Greens, fairways and tee boxes all nice. Some traps need some attention, though. Carillon is also a nice layout - some challenges but nothing excessively difficult. The weather this day was great and we finished our round in less than 3.5 hours - great pace. Friendly staff - and one of the largest $4 golf course hot dogs at the snack shop you'll ever see! Oh... and hole #9 on the White course is one intimidating look off the tee! Great test-of-skills hole - very challenging. Optional bailout far right - but then... long forced carry over water on second shot. This is a tough one! - from any of the tee boxes!

The Links of Carillon

We played the Red & White 9's.

The course was in good shape. It is a very interesting layout. The amenities were okay. The cart person was trying to cover three 9 hole courses. She was very nice. Just spread a bit thin. The pace of play was typical for a Sunday about 4.5 hours. We signed up as a two-some and were paired up with a husband & wife. We made the turn in 2:10 and played a little slower on the 2nd nine. Overall a nice staff at Carillon and a good layout.

Nice track - red/white

Pretty nice layout on the red/white. There is a 3rd 9 hole course that I haven't played. In good shape considering all the recent rain. Greens needed attention though as there many spike and ball marks making putting a little challenging!

Good shape, no forced carries

Just a very good value.

Nothing really spectacular, just a good course at a good price.

Pace could be improved somewhat, but I'm a 3.5 hr. round type player.

The Links

Always a Sporty Course ! You may need an extra sleeve of balls, a ball retriever and a good sand wedge !!! BTW, you can reach the water on the left of #1 off the Tee ! JS

Carillon is always a Fun Course !!! All 3 Courses !

The usual for a weekend at Carillon. Excellent conditions (except for the wind), excellent staff, rather slow pace. It's worth it however. Will be back soon.

Carillon

Course is in great shape, greens were fast so be prepared. Sand was for the most part in good shape with a couple of exceptions due to recent rain.

Highly recommend this course, there are some holes that will challenge even the best handicappers.

Great condition .. Took too long

We played at 115 on a Friday.. We are all decent golfers, but the pace was slow. Ranger did not move things along fast enough. This course is short enough to play in 4 hours.. The 4 somes ahead of us were not bad.. Just too slow.. Pick it up rangers course was in fantastic condition
