Golf Club of Illinois

Rude staff. Great if you potentially like to walk 18. Apparently the staff doesn’t like to bring carts out for last minute tee time bookings. Played over 50 rounds here in my lifetime and once loved it, It was my go to golf course for taking out customers, but because of a recent encounter with the staff, I will never go there again. *Paid In Full*

If you are concerned about Covid, this place is not for you. Nobody wearing a mask inside the clubhouse. Customers, employees, nobody. I guess pandemics don’t exist in Algonquin. The course itself was in decent shape for November, so that’s cool. Also, the homeowners that live on the golf course. Not sure where to start here. A father/son combo was out in their backyard stopping every group to tell people to stop hitting their house with golf balls. Telling multiple groups to golf at other courses. Friendly people..... seemed like a sad attempt at a cash grab. I would like to go back to this course just to take aim at their house. Next time I won’t miss.

Play the right tees. Course is much fairer with the fescue mowed down on the mounds. Still great mix of long and short holes. All the short holes have bunker or water to protect them..and the greens are larger, so need to take that into account.

This course has a great and challenging layout. Even though some of the holes might be a little long for the average golfer, the wide fairways on the longer holes will make it easy to lay up and still make the par. There are also some shorter holes that you may think are easy, but the course layout makes these the most challenging holes at GCI. Their greens dept. does a great job of having the greens and fairways well manicured. This course was much harder when there was a lot of fescue on the course, but the removal of that makes it easier to play. I would recommend this course because it is a course with a variety of holes and great risk-reward opportunities.

Call before you book. Usually a nice course however they aerated and sanded the greens so it was like putting on bumpy asphalt. A waste of a round due to maintenance. I would avoid this course for at least two weeks.

Jefferson in the golf shop is rude. I had Golfnow tee time at 11.40 and arrived at 10:30 and he told me to wait. i said OK. For the next hour 2 groups teed off. Why use golfnow if you are going to treat customers poorly.

The course was in good shape and pace of play was good but the neighbors we not very pleasant. My opinion if you live on a course you should expect golf balls to end up in your yard.

First time playing this course and it was an adventure! Got paired with 2 gentlemen that were great! However, when we got to hole 5 there was a guy who was walking. He was clearly messed up and on something. He proceeded to scream and swear and even threatened the foursome behind us.

Nice long holes with rolling hills. A little tight with houses, some burned out/very dry areas, fescue very short, less challenging. Staff extremely friendly and competent, nice clubhouse/patio.
