Great Course. Rude golfers with no course etiquette.

The course is beautiful and challenging. It’s unfortunate you don’t have a chance to enjoy it. We were hit into twice in the first seven holes (including while putting).

We saw a number of carts very close to the green, published dress code violations, and other activity befitting a slovenly muni.

There was one group of three guys who were courteous. We let them through, but other idiots followed. “Microwave golf” with little/no courtesy is not a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. We had enough after eight holes. I didn’t think my blood pressure or temper could take much more.

One of my favorite courses

Stay out of the rough, stay out of the rough, stay out of the rough. Driving and putting are the keys to lower scores at Chalet Hills.

The greens were not in the best shape; however, I played 5/29/19 and the course has taken a beating from the weather. This is true for most courses in the Chicago area.

The fairways yield tight lies that require good ball striking skill. So hitting the ball first and then the ground is mandatory for playing good golf at Chalet Hills especially when the course is as wet as it’s been.

Even with all the moisture the greens were fast. They’ll be even faster if and when the course is given a chance to dry out. The speed of the greens is, of course, a personal preference. I like fast greens so Chalet’s greens suit me just fine.

Many of the holes at Chalet Hills offer beautiful scenery and provide you with solitude that’s indicative of rural settings. After playing these holes I sometimes like to just sit near their green for a couple of minutes to listen to the wildlife and to enjoy the serenity. This, of course, can only be done when the course is fairly empty of golfers.

I would recommend Chalet Hills to intermediate and advanced golfers. However, if you’re a beginner and you know how to keep pace, Chalet Hills will provide good lessons about course management, patience, and the skills you’ll need to play a challenging golf course.

Great shape

We’ve had a ton of rain lately and the course was in great shape! No standing water and the greens rolled very well!

Layout is great and you need to be precise off the tee as well as approach shots.

Great round

Much Improved and Beautiful!

This is one of my favorite courses, but it was not in the best shape last year. However, the course conditions now have been much better, bad spots have been repaired and lower areas are drained dry. The fairways are well maintained and greens are smooth, I really enjoyed my round on this beautiful course.

Beautiful Vistas and Tight Holes

Chalet is one of my favorite local tracks, it is tight in places and demands accuracy if not length. Being 55 yrs old I am now playing the white tees and this offers plenty challenge while allowing me to reach a par five in two, feels like the old days. If I had one complaint it would be the cart path being a bit bumpy, but that is not a deterrent. Course conditions were good if not excellent, greens had been punched but were healing quickly. Still could two putt most situations, missed a couple I should have made if not punched, that’s spring golf...
