The Way Golf Was Meant To Be Played

With a threat of rain, played the course in less than 2 hours (was the only player on the course – felt like my own course). Better than a private club lay-out (every hole is unique) with similar private club conditions for a very reasonable price.

Wait

I have shot Chalet at least once or twice each year and most of the time it is in great shape. Not this time. I was surprised at the hardness of the fairways and very surprise with the sub par green conditions. I don't know if it was because all of the rain made them reverse their watering but I would wait until I hear it is back in good shape before I go again

Great course

Worth the extra $$ over some of the other solid courses in the area. Very scenic. Course was in great condition. Course was challenging but not too difficult. The only problem was some of the pin placements could have been in less challenging positions.

absolutely beautiful golf experience on wonderfully maintained track. awesome wooed views, great greens kept in perfect conditions. would suggest all experienced golfers to go out northwest and play here at least once or twice a year. the staff will also bend over backwards in order to make your round as pleasant experience as possible.

Public golf at its finest

I have played Chalet Hills more times than I can count. This course is tough, theres no doubt about it... but even though its tough, its a fun course to play. Tight fairways, scenic views, quick greens. This is as good as it gets for public golf in the NW burbs.

Good Value...tight course

This is a very nice course however, they need to try a bit harder attic king up the leaves. Greens are very fast and holes are tight...target golf at it's best. I would definitely play this course again and reccomend it but I would only pay $15-20 not $40-50 at least not in fall. Not as nice as Makray nor White Deer Run for the money.

Chalet Hills

A very challenging. but memorable outing. Many blind and dogleged shots that a "home course knowledge' would be helpful. Our threesome teamed up w/ a regular for the back nine and he gave advice (& took some of our money!). Many undulating greens making for a fun putting experience. All in All a good track and very worthwhile.

Me and my Boys

Got Hot Deal for $15 so took my two boys out. The started was great - pulled up to me and say whenever you are ready - tee off. The course was in top shape minus the divots and ball marks that weren't fixed by players. My boys played about 9 holes and I played 18. The fairways were in great shape; the greens rolled fast. It was a windy day and must admit played a bit challenging. With the leaves falling, all the greens were cleared of leaves. It's about 50 min drive for me and it was worth playing with my boys and not feel rushed to finished by certain time. Recommend it and will come back.
