Boone Creek Golf Club - Prairie Course

Played their on Sunday and played the 18 hole course. I must say course was in descent shape and not too bad of a place to play. There are a few challenging holes. I must say they need need to update the golf carts in a serious way. Also being in a pandemic, golf carts needed to be cleaned. Also went to men's bathroom inside clubhouse and the urinal's and sinks you could tell haven't been cleaned in days if not longer. If you want people to visit your course spend a few bucks and keep it up.

Apparently there was miscommunication between a Golf Now and the course. Reservation was for 18 and a cart but the course stated it was only 9. The staff is always great there and after 9 we asked to play another 9 and were allowed. Course was in great shape as always and the greens were challenging again.

Staff is great, Mike is fantastic and the course is perfect. This is my 4th time here and no bad experiences

Same thing I ask each time. Just put a 150 marker on every hole. Love the course.

The course is in fantastic shape, the fairways are like carpet and the greens hold shots nicely. Considering the season just started this course is amazing and I will be back with friends

Fairways are like carpet and first cut is not that bad to play out of. Greens are very fair and deceiving in the reads, soft enough to hold a shot also. I highly recommend this course and cannot wait to come back and play the other 9

At first glance, Boone Creek is often overlooked in the NW Chicago Suburbs. It is a 27 hole facility, featuring three 9 hole courses. The facility consistently rotates the 9 hole courses so that a combination is the 18 hole course for the day and the remaining course is designated as the 9 hole course for the day. This is extremely nice when you are looking to sneak out for a quick 9 hole round. All of Boone Creek is relatively flat with little to no elevation change. It used to be very wide open which made it a bombers paradise. Management has done an excellent job of tightening up the course with letting natural grass areas grow up throughout the course. It may be blasphemy but in several areas, it's similar to hitting out of deep fescue at Erin Hills. Management has also done an excellent job of focusing on the greens. Years ago, they used to be inconsistent and bumpy. The last two years has seen a dramatic increase in the quality of the greens. You'll get a very smooth roll most of the time on these greens. For walkers, you can't ask for an easier walk. No elevation changes and minimal walking from green to tee.

The Valley Course is one of the 9 hole courses. I will admit that out of the three courses, Valley is my least favorite. The par 5, 1st hole is a quirky double dog leg that if you play it the conventional way, makes it difficult to attack the green in two shots. Local advice: if the course is empty, you can hit your tee shot towards the 9th fairway and it will give you a straight shot into the 1st green. In a way, the 1st hole sets the tone for the course. There are two other sharp dog leg par 4's (the 3rd and the 8th holes). The 5th hole is another quirky par 4 that requires a mid iron off the tee unless you are going to try driving the green. Honestly, you may not even need to hit a single driver off the tee on this course.

Overall, the course is extremely playable for all levels of play. The greens are generous in size and as previously stated, they roll well. The 5th hole is the only hole that requires a forced carry into the green and it is a wedge, at that. When the Valley course is crowded, pace of play can occasionally be an issue as there are holes on which you can cut the corners to try driving or getting close to the greens. I've taken multiple newer golfers to this course to get accustomed to the game and they have all enjoyed themselves. The driving range is adequate and the putting green is a great way to spend time warming up or playing friendly games after the round. I'd almost label it as a "can't miss" part of playing at Boone Creek.

I've found Boone Creek to be a great course to have a fun round without having to take it too serious. The laid back environment lends itself to that. The course is surrounded by farm land and is a breath of fresh air. If you are looking for a place to work on your game or not lose too many balls, this is the place for you. If you are looking for a course to stimulate you visually or provide a shot making challenge on each hole, then Boone's "sister" course Prairie Isle is perhaps a better choice for you.

As it stands, this is a good course that I would recommend for most casual golfers.

Weather was great.played with two young guys had a great time

Shot a 40 48 on Valley and Prairie today, best of the year for this 60-something hacker! This place rocks. Top quality service, facilities and courses. Add in perfect weather and it was another winner day at Boone Creek!

Nice prairie style course and easy to walk. Can’t beat their prices either!

This course was an excellent value. I was met on my arrival by extremely kind staff. I played during the twilight rate, and the pace of play was excellent. Conditions were great on the course. I had an overall awesome experience and will be back!

Drying up nicely after all the rain we've had. This is one of the prettiest courses.

Today pace of play was pretty bad. This is going to happen once in a while when you get novice. But where is the Marshall to get them to move along? We had 3 party backups at one point...

Lastly and I'll say this again. Put up at a one 150 yard marker. The ones in the ground are too hard to find.

All that said, I really do love this course.
