Nice layout

They boast of being one of the top 5 scenic courses in Illinois and I agree. Comparable to The General in Galena or Harbourside in Chicago as far as views go. Really nice place!

Chalet Hills is Solid Track, but...

This was my 1st time playing Chalet Hills and it was on a windy but sunny day. My biggest issue with higher end courses like this is them not having a driving range so I can warm up before the round. Apparently, they used to have one here, but they don't use it anymore. Why?? The clubhouse is sort of strange in that it sits on a hill with no obvious entry. Also, the people working at this course were not very nice and really didn't seem to care about their customers, which is sad. As for the course itself, it's a very unique and somewhat shorter course with some tight, tree-lined holes and beautiful rolling hills, with a decent amount of ponds and lakes. The fairways were in good shape for the most part and the greens were consistent, but not as quick as I would have liked. There are 3 pretty short par 3 holes, which is a big reason why the course isn't over 7000 yards long from the tips. If you hit your drives straight off the tee, you can score on this course.

Overall, I would play this course again because it is in solid condition and it has 4 or 5 very unique holes, but they really need to hire people in the clubhouse who care more.

A very good test

Challenging course for this high handicapper. I play Chalet 2-3 times a week for 3 years now. Enjoy it every time. Staff is accommodating and helpful and listen to customers suggestions. Nineteenth Hole staff is friendly and responsive, menu is very good.

In the past this course has been good. This time, greens were horrible. Clumps of grass on every green and way over sanded. No way you cold hit a straight putt. Grounds crew cut across fairways in front of shots and even cut the grass by the greens after we hit up on the green. Not a good experience. Hopefully they get it together as the year goes on.
