Golf Club of Illinois

Course was in good shape. Greens are pretty fast, try not to be above the hole. Play was a bit slow for a Monday, but they had a tournament in the AM and an outing in the PM. Some bunkers were very shallow with limited sand.

I played w/ my 15 year old son at GCI and there was a 90 man umpires golf outing before us. There was a lot of drinking going on and I thought there were several avoidable issues that went unaddressed. First, way too much drinking went on; after all this wasn't a college frat. party. Secondly the pace of play was extremely slow as the golfers were far more concerned about their beers than they were about the pace of play. Along w/ this was their amateurish use of horns. Lastly the marshalls did nothing to speed up the pace and get some of the drunks off the course. I was extremely disappointed as my son and I ended up walking off the course after the 16th hole. I don't plan to return to GCI in the near future at this time.

Fast greens which were good for putting.
Greens would not hold any approach shots.
Distance markers were accurate.
Fairways were fair and fast.

Bunkers were the absolute worst part of the course with no sand to allow a proper bunker shot. There were mud and clay marks on my club after hitting a bunker shot. This is the sole reason I would not play nor recommend this course again.

You can count the trees on this course with your fingers and toes. There isn't much water in play (although 2 par 3 holes require all carry over water). Links style, right? Well, not exactly. The bunkers are USA-style all the way, right down to the thin sand, and there isn't much in true run-up to the greens. I call it a links/target hybrid, and a wonderful place to spend 4+ hours

Nice course nice course nice course nice course bye

I haven't played this course in years, but I found it to be as good as I remembered.

The course was very well maintained, clean carts, clean club house, friendly staff.

Other than no GPS in carts, nothing to complain about.

Also, no gimmes on the putting.

This course is in very good shape and a very good layout for the price.
Most courses that compare are in the low $70's (overpriced).
If you don't need all of the bells and whistles, just want a nice golf course for the money, this is the place.
We will be back.

Have played this course before and have been pleased each time. I was able to save 50% with GolfNow which made it an even better experience!

I felt like it was slow but actually wasn't. I was playing by myself. Still finished in 4.25h

got a great deal on golfnow. nice course worth playing.

We played in 2h57m on Saturday morning, second group out. Course was in good shape, but as we played we noticed the pin positions were in some very interesting places on the greens. The greens here are very pitched and can be quite severe. If the greens were really fast, there were some positions on that day where one couldn't keep the ball on the green. Overall, an enjoyable course that can be made very difficult with the extreme pin placement and a bit of wind.

slow slow speed of play
not so good condition of green

The course was not ready to play yet yesterday.
We enjoy playing with your course

Golf Club of Illinois is a great course to play .A lot of challenging holes .The staff is very friendly.I will definately play GCI again.I highly recommend playing this course

I've played this course many times and I like the layout. Always in great condition. Greens are fast but readable. Play seems to move well. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rangers have authority and arn't afraid to use it. Will play there often again.

i have not played there for 2 years and after playing there again i do not know why i have not gone back. It is a nice place to play and if you get a good deal to play there take it it worth it.

The course is a great test. The greens and fairways are in terrific shape. Watch out for the prevailing winds.

The pace of play was bad .No rangers to speed slow players up.Ground was really hard

Very nice links course......well maintained grounds.
Clubhouse could use a little updating. Will be back.

This course has some great character holes. The greens were in awesome shape and very quick. Te fairways were also well maintained. Once you move off the fairways and greens the course left a bit to be desired but frankly you shouldn't be playing from there anyway right? The pace of play was fair especially given the difficulty of some of the holes. Every time I haveplayed here I find my self excited to come back again.
