Though place was good a while back, but not so much now

This course is ok. If it rains, there is standing water in many places, the clubhouse and amenities are poor. The owner doesn’t put much money if any into maintaining it. It was a links course but they changed it, so now there are just random mowed grass mounds all over. It’s wide open and easy, but no consistency with greens.

Nice Course

This is a nice track , its fairly wide open for the most part and easier than most courses. The greens are the nicest ive played on this year, they're fast amd they run true.

The staff were very friendly especially the starter . I'll be back soon

Expect Wind

I would expect this course is windy on most days. No trees. 600+ yr Par 5 mostly into the wind is more of a gimmick than a golf hole. Should really consider shorten that up into a reasonable number.

Greens, fairways were in good condition especially this early in the spring. Price for a 4-some deal was excellent. On this overcast day (rain in the a.m.), very few golfers on the course so we played in under 4 hrs for an afternoon round which is Excellent.

For some reason, virtually every flag was torn...not a big deal but says something about management that they don't replace them. Maybe they will since the season's just starting but that would have been an off-season maintenance thing.

Wet but Playable

I was prepared to walk, but arrived to learn that carts were availble for Cart Path Only riding. This was very easy to do since concrete cart path ring the entire course. the fairways were soggy from previous rains and snow melts, but it was easy to find firm spots to play from nearby. I played as a single and moved along at a good pace behind a twosome who offered to let me play through. However, I preferred to take my time and periodically hit a few extra approaches and putts. The course has a variety of hole designs, so it was interesting to play, and for December 28, I would do this one every time.

Always fun course

I like GCI it has nice greens with a fun layout that you can score on if you hit straight.

It was a colder day like 20F so I was the only one on the course. The water hazards were frozen but that is winter golf in Chicago. This course played quickly with just me I finished in 2hrs 30 min walking / jogging to keep warm. I play here about 5 times a year and would play more often if it were closer. Try it in the spring ( or with me in the winter) you won’t be disappointed.

Good links style layout with two par 3s over water. Conditions were great for this late in the season and very cheap rates.
