Chalet Hills Golf Club

Despite the cooler temperatures and late season the course was very well maintained. Still one of my favorite courses to play in the area.

Overall nice place........but no one, not golfers or staff seems to repair ball marks on greens. All 4 of us could repair 10,15 or 20 on each green. Whats up with that?

Nice challenging scenic course, but with unfortunate maintenance problems that day. A few of the ball washers were dry or broke. One tee was extremely soggy during a dry week, looked like an underground sprinkler pipe near the tee had burst. Also, all tee areas were not marked with Hole numbers, had to look on score card map to make sure we were playing the right holes.

The back nine is tight so make sure you are hitting it straight off the tee.

I really like Chalet Hills, that's why a 5 1/2 hr round (on a Friday) was so disappointing. Never saw a ranger either. Course was in pretty good shape, though the greens were pretty marked up.

I have played here many times this year, and this time I found the greens in the best condition from previous times. The greens are probably at 11, if the hole position is on a slope like hole 7 and you are on the wrong side of the pin, plan on 3 putts or more. This course is very challenging. any scores in the 80s is a great score.

I have played this course several times this year. My last time out I chose to play on a Sunday afternoon... so I did not expect a sub 4 hour round to begin with. What I got was a beautifully groomed golf course with fast and true greens at an incredible price... but at an unplayable pace of play. Just under the 4 hour mark I quit... I had finished 13 holes.

I pulled up to the 14th tee and there was 1 group waiting for the tee, 1 on the tee, 1 on the fairway, and 1 finishing on the green... on a par 4. Not kidding. I didn't see a marshall all day.. I can't tell if they just dont have any or if I missed them, or they weren't there for that day but the job was definitely needed and not done.

I think since they are offering tee times at such ridiculously good prices through golfnow that they are getting anybody and everybody willing to play.. as a avid golfer I find this course difficult to begin with. So hows normal guy who picks up the sticks 2 times a year going to post 110 in under 4 hours? Hes not.

Bottom line, this is a great golf course at a better price with the worst pace of play I have experienced in a long time. Lesson learned, come here for a mid week round, not a weekend.

If your looking for a challenge look no further. Place your tee shot carefully and stick it close to the flag. Greens, especially on 5 will give you fits. Overall great condition.. only a few swears on a Sunday afternoon. . ;)

Tees and fairways were in excellent condition. Greens are well maintained and run true. Many challenging holes with fair approach lanes. Average players will be tested, good players will see risk reward situations. Good value at reduced golfnow rates.

There are few courses in the Chicagoland area I've played that make you feel as if you're in the country and that you're miles away from urban areas. Chalet Hills is one of them. So if you're looking to play a gorgeous golf course, Chalet Hills is it.

However, you'll pay for the beauty in more ways than one. Chalet Hills is one of the most challenging courses I've ever played in the Chicagoland area. It puts a premium on driving accuracy and on putting. I've played the course when my driving accuracy was excellent and when it was horrendous and the results were like day and night. In the latter case I couldn't wait for my round to end. So if you're playing poorly, you will suffer. On the flip side you'll feel like a million bucks if you play this course well.

The last time I played Chalet Hills the greens were in excellent shape. The roll was true and fast. I happen to like fast greens so I wasn't disappointed. Many of the greens are small so approach shots and par 3's demand accuracy.

Most of the fairways are narrow with lots of trouble on either side. So fading or drawing the ball is not always a "stay out of trouble" option. I like to move the ball either way so I am often trying to decide if it's best to draw or fade the ball on many tee shots. The fairways were also cut to a reasonable level. By that I mean I was not confronted with tight fairway lies that that made it extremely difficult to execute pitch shots. However, they were cut short enough to allow me to use a putter when I chose to do so.

The rough was tall and lush. My playing partner and I each lost a couple of balls that we hit in the rough from the tee. The green side rough was also challenging. So hitting a ball just off the green wasn't always a bargain.

I can't comment on the sand traps because, surprisingly, I didn't end up in any of them during my last round. All I can say is that there are a lot of fairway and green side bunkers. I should also mention that there is also a lot of water. And the water is strategically located to swallow errant shot.

There are a lot of trees on Chalet Hills. Many of the trees are located so that it isn't enough to just be on the fairway. You have to place your tee shot on the left or right side of a fairway to have a good angle for your approach shot to the green.

All in all I would recommend Chalet Hills to any golfer except the novice. It's worth the challenge.

Great deal with GolfNow. Course is in very good condition considering all the rain that we've had lately. Awesome scenic views around course. Friendly staff and not over crowded.

Very nice course. One of my favorite in north/west chicago. It can be a very difficult course if you don't hit the fairways, even though it is a somewhat short. I enjoyed playing each hole and many were scenic. I would definitely play this course again.

I forgot how pristine and challenging this course is. One of the few courses where your not battling your balance on the tee box. Fairways were in excellent condition. The sand traps had sand in them, which was a nice surprise. I played after a day of rain and while it was raining, so the greens were in good shape, however, you can tell when the course is dry that the greens are rock hard with some burn out spots, but they were still running true. My only true gripe is that I don't live closer.....

I bought a two-some and we were paired with 2 randoms. When I pulled up there was 16 people on the first tee waiting to tee off. The round took 5.5 hours to play! If you ever see this place for $42 on a Saturday stay away, one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time.

Difficult course with plenty of trouble - play the whites unless u bomb it straight - course layout is great - greens are in great shape - nice clubhouse with large patio - also, not crowded during the week.

We used to live out in western suburbs and loved to play chalet hills. 5 years downtown and still having to drive to find decent golf, we ventured back to chalet hillls. Sorry we waited so long. Great course, great design. I think the back 9 has some more challenges. But my scorecard didn't disappoint.

I had heard good things about chalet hills and it completely exceeded my expectations. The course was challenging yet very playable and in great condition. I can't wait to play there again very soon. Well Done Chalet Hills!!!!!

Pace of Play was a huge issue. No ranger until the 14th hole....had to call the clubhouse to see what was the reasoning behind the delay. There are plenty of areas where a ranger can sit and monitor other than the 18th hole.....5 green/6 & 7 tee would be an especially great area where they could get people moving if there was someone imposing out there......But that is just my thought. If a 6 inch putt is being marked on a weekend, its time to say something. When the blue tees are being used by a foursome of 30+ handicappers something needs to be said....the earlier the better.....not on hole 14....We waited literally for every shot after we teed off of number 2. That being said, I'd imagine that during the week when the pace is up to snuff it is a completely different and enjoyable experience.

This was the 1st time playing this course. It was a challenge to say the least. To start off the 1st 3 holes are somewhat open. than the fun begins. 4 is a tight fairway, 5 is an awesome par 3 that you have to be dialed in on distance, 6 is a par 5 that the green is hidden behind a hill if approaching from the left. best stay right. 7-8 are open, 9 has water to carry. the back 9 play's the same way. 14 with its island green is tough. So to sum up the course. Tight fairways, excellent greens, If you draw the ball be careful off the tee, trees get in the way. Would play again now that i know what to expect.

I've played this course 11 times now and am a 16 HDCP. It took the 11th try to finally break 90. It is a very picturesque course but lots of opportunities for trouble. The 9th and 18th are doglegs around a central lake/pond, 14 is a par 4 with a tight fairway to a shallow island green. The first 4 holes are good warm-up holes, then 5,6,7 are potential disasters.
I wouldn't recommend it for a high handicapper unless you're out for the scenery.
