Best of The Northwest

A one time great course, that fell under poor management. Arnie and the new group are bringing it back. The bunkers are still a work in progress, however they're getting there.

For many years Chalet Hills has offered a 5 play pass for $150.

Chalet Hills for years has offered a 5 play pass for $150. This is the first year I can remember that they have not offered the 5 play pass.

No one in my foursome can afford to pay the full greens fee and therefore our only way to play this course is through the 5 play pass.

So it looks like this year we will not be able to play this course. We always purchased drinks and food so Chalet Hills will be losing our business.

Pictures of course are beautiful.

The course does not have enough drainage. Had to ride

cart path on at least 9 of the holes. Would like to have been told this before I paid not after.

Great layout poor conditioning

I’ve played this course many times over the years and seen it in a variety of conditions. Recent changes are good but traps still need a lot of work. Hope to see conditions improve.

A great bonus round at an wonderful course!

We don’t play golf in December north of Chicago, but we had another mid 50 weather day! With all the rain the day before, the course was wet, but definitely playable!

Chalet Hills is a fun, challenging course. Unfortunately, the egocentric hackers who insist on teeing from the tips as they progress slowly around the course dampens the fun. The lack of rangers have been an issue here, but hard to have them in late December.

Tough but good

Lots of risk reward shots on this course. Usually in good condition and pretty good pace of play most of the time, have probably played this course around 20 times. Has come down in price though various deals and such as well.

Good course to play if you like a challenge!

Great course and with snow melting only the day before, we could not imagine how well it had drained and the excellent fall shape of the course.

Great course.

Had a nice time during the round. A frost issue pushed all times back, so it turned into a 5 and a half hour round which is a bit crazy. The cart path was also in really bad shape. Especially on some of those sharp turns and steep inclines.

Played on a wet Saturday

Half the holes were cart path only so play was a bit slow. The greens are fast and good there. The only real complaint is that they had a special for $35 but we paid $55 in early October since we booked online and the front desk wouldn't give us the difference. Bummer.
