Chalet Hills Golf Club

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.

very tough pin positions six of the 18 holescourse was in fair condition Green is a little chewed up course was very wet puddles in the greenside bunkers no rain in 3 days don't know the source of all the water

Greens and fringe where not mowed in am or they left the holes in the same location
Around the holes very bad conditions
Need to move the pins
Traps where hard in full of water
Needed attention

It had been a while since I had played Chalet Hills. The last time I played it, the conditions were spotty at best (reason why I hadn't played it for over a year). I can gladly say that the course conditions are back to what I always expected when going to Chalet Hills, great rolling greens-tough but fun layout!! Will definitely be back.

This course has many interesting & challenging holes. Lots of elevation changes. We played from the white tees. The blues are for big hitters. The greens have not fully recovered from our hard winter and many of the traps needed raking. Other than that, the course was in really good shape.

I want to play again with my best friend.
because this course challenge.

Had difficulty scoring this course. Why? While playing in 90+ degree heat, our foursome was in significant need of hydration. You already know that neither water coolers nor a traveling beverage cart was to be found. I'm OK with only one or the other missing, but not both. If you play this track, be warned that your thirst is your own! A message to the new owners - please invest in water coolers and keep them filled. A pleasant beverage cart lady is even better!
The course was in good condition. In general, greens were fine. Very little evidence of the brutal winter kill you find on many courses. Our foursome's handicap's range from high single digits to teens, and this track kicked our butts! Some holes are very tight with OB or overgrown wooded areas. Lots of balls swallowed. Not a course for inexperienced players.
We're it not for missing potable water, I would have given four stars.

The golf course was in good shape. However, it was 90 degrees and humid outside and the had ZERO drinking water on the course and no beverage cart. It was absolutely terrible and I will not be going back. Completely unacceptable to not have water jugs on the course.

Course in great condition
.5 hours and 30 minutes to play a round is just wrong.

Course is very challenging...lots of target golf holes, 1 peninsula green hole. Course was in excellent condition as well. Day I played the course was jammed and we were behind a slow, slow, slow group...waited on every shot. The blue tees here are almost 6600 yards with a slope of 139...if you can't hit it 230 and straight, play the whites...everyone will have a better day.

Been awhile since I've played here. Don't know why. I will be back soon.

Tough course, but there are landing areas. You will be penalized for a poor shot and penalized again on the same hole if you try something stupid. Play within yourself and enjoy the terrain changes. It's a very pretty place.

Tips - for scratch players ONLY
Blue - 6,600 rating 72.7. Slope. 139

Greens rolled great and course was in excellent condition. Accuracy is a big premium here, but the course is fair. Bunkers were soft which leads to plugged balls.

Great track. Very challenging and scenic. Well worth the money.

Greens rolled true and fast.
Rough was thick.
Course in great condition.
Bring your A game!

This course plays tough but fair
Course conditions are better than they have. Been since last year. New mgmt. really know how to fix up a course. Looking forward to playing again. .

I played Chalet Hills yesterday and could not believe the difference in the shape of the golf course from last year. Apparently, the new owner is pushing the course back in the right direction. Greens were in nice shape - they were mowed nicely. The course could use some touching up, but the playability was great!

Had a 1058 tee time and didn't finish until after 4pm. Chalet Hills is in very good shape, greens were excellent and the new management appears to be off to a good start. Problem is that high handicappers have no business playing this place and 5 hour rounds plus are routine. Course always slows down after the turn and you wait and wait for slow foursomes to splash multiple balls into water hazards (10 holes have water that is in play for them).

Chalet is always a challenge. I love having choices of what club to use and the risk reward factor is an option here. The course itself is beautiful with lots of different looks. The water is well placed and it goes well with the overall hilly style of the course. I really have no complaints about this place. Always a fun time!

Is awesome nice and open but also challenging it was just nice all around will be back shortly

Considering the harsh winter Illinois experience, the course was in good shape.Alot of workers on the course shows that they are trying to bring it back up to a quality track. The fairways were above average, the traps need more attention and the greens were in good shape.All in all, I would recommend this course to anyone.
