One of my favorites

I started playing this course in the late 80s and have always liked it. I just wish they hadn't caved in to the whiners and left the fescue mounds alone.

Odd Combination, but it works

Course is in beautiful shape, though you won't find much shade. The course rewards long drives and very accurate approach shots. Par threes are set up quite long. Not a lot of hills or trees - and I wouldn't call it links style either - but a fun course to play. Seems to move pretty quickly early on weekends.

Nice Link-Style Challenge

The Golf Club of Illinois (GCI) is a nice, challenging layout, presenting both easy scoring opportunities and shots requiring players to weigh their options carefully. The course was in great shape for my round, with the fairways tightly mowed and the greens at 10-11. I recommend GCI as a "should play" option for discerning golfers who looking for a fair test.

Good course

Took my pops out to play on Sunday morning. We played from the blue tee. It wasn't crowded at all, and pace was fast, which I liked. Nice fairways but hit it a bit off into the rough, you'll lose your ball. It's a long and tough course. Trees don't really come into play but there's plenty of other hazards. It's a challenging course but really fun. The greens were ok. I would definitely come back at least to challenge #11 again. 675 yards from the back tee! Wow...

Good links-style course

GCI has a traditional links layout with tight fairways bordered with overgrown fescue, few wooded areas and fast, undulating greens. Few par 5s (3) but several long par 4s (11) that are not driveable. Clubhouse is dated but serviceable.

Challaging

I made a last minute tee time. Course was not busy and the pace of play was very good. Course was in good condition, weather was good. Course would probably get more play if price point was lower but overall, it was a good experience.

Better than expected

After extensive rains the night before, the grounds crew was hard at work removing standing water in areas most affected. All things considered, the course was not sloppy and played well. The care and attention to the playing surface was excellent given the aforementioned weather. I would play this course again.

Beautiful day at GCI

Having been a fan of GCI for many years, it was a pleasure to take on this demanding track. Links style, target oriented design. Plenty of bunkers and fescue to keep you on your toes. The course is in great shape, except for some of the bunkers.

We had a great time, and will be back.

Link style

Tough course, but they have made it easier, as the tall stuff is not so tall, however the rough is hard to chop out of. Hitting it on the fairways are a premium at this course.

Good course

I always enjoy playing there. Some great challenging hole. Par 3 over 200 yds over the water with strong wind. Par 5 over 600 yds with up hill plus strong wind all the time. great course. I truly recommend this course with my heart. Just go and play and see. Every one love this course. This course for some advanced player.
