Had a great time. First time out this year. Bunkers could have used some rakes. Not every sand trap or hole had one

Great Course

It was my first time playing here and I had a blast. Showed up as a solo and played with 3 other great gentleman. Course was in great shape - Greens just a touch fuzzy- but overall awesome conditions. Staff was very friendly. Both of the rangers were very personable and joked around with us. It was 72 and sunny and you couldn’t ask for anything better. Will definitely be back.

Greens Punched… slow rolls

Not bad but the greens are still healing up so putting is pretty rough.

Always solid, and SLOW

Great conditions, considering the time of year. Entirely too many people playing from the back tees.

Good course

I was not overly blown away but it was also a chilly, non manicured course due to it being winter. Loved the course layout but am also not the biggest fan of courses adjacent to the Lake. Views are gorgeous however since these courses are all geese sanctuaries that protect geese, there is an incredible amount poop to content with. An INCREDIBLE AMOUNT. I opt for inland or suburban courses.

Your only option in the area but it's not bad at all.

Giving 5 stars for the relative quality given the public options in Chicago. Solid distance at 3250 yards for 9 hole par 36. Expect to play slow (2-2.5 hours). If you have a $25 advantage card you save $5. There are always hot deals for cheap like $13.99. Follow me and DM me on Instagram @chicagofitnessdaddy if you ever wanna golf together. I am here all the time.
