Golf Club of Illinois

Played GCI today. While there was quite a bit of rain last night, the bunkers were terrible. It didn’t look like they had been worked in days. While it was 90+ and humid, there was no water on the course, nor was there a drink cart. At least half of the ball washers were also missing. Didn’t seem like there was much effort by management.

Course played great, even on Sunday. Rough something to consider if you’re in it.

The pace was too slow. The layout was not a good setup for us…it’s kind of dangerous if you don’t hit the fairway. There are many hills which don’t allow you to see what’s coming at you if you hit it left or right. The fairways were very “messy”…too many other courses in better shape for less money. We won’t be back.

Was hot, water on the course would have been nice.

The course plays pretty much as it looks, but typically with the links style setup, the wind plays a much bigger part at GCI. For the first 14 holes it was pretty calm which made for a pleasant day. The course was busy, a drink cart was supposed to be going (but never was seen) and with the compact layout you might come across other players, but it worked out great. Pretty standard pricing for 18 holes in the area. It was a good time.

This was the first time I had played the course and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was in great condition even after having had a lot of rain recently. The greens were quick but not super fast. The condition of the tees and fairways was super. I will definitely come back to play the course again.

Course is fun. Greens are small but well maintained. Good variety of holes.

What a fun course to play !!! Definitely worth the drive if you are not local

my first visit found my group stuck behind a junior tournament. We teed off 21 minutes after our scheduled tee time. Our round took nearly 5 hours to play. No mention of the junior tournament was made when we were making our reservations. Upon check-in, we were told that all carts were out and we would have to wait for ours as they trickled in. There was no beverage cart available. the golf-now price of $38 for 18 with a cart was very pleasing. The fairways were covered with clumpy mown grass....Loved the greens, though they were quite difficult. Would play here again. in the end, it was all a great day as I got my first ever hole-in -one on number 17.
