Lawn Care

The rough was horrific, try to keep it in the fairway. I was in the fairway most of the time, but when I was not it took some time to find the ball. If you are playing with others make sure you guys watch each others ball if not you will be taking some time to find balls.

Great place to golf for the price. Fairways were plush. Greens still need to be rolled. But overall course is great condition. Can't wait to play again.

Hidden gem

This course is a lot of fun. Fairways and greens are in good shape. There are some big hills which makes it difficult to walk right now, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Also this course gets bonus points from me because I booked two tee times to play 36 at the normal golfnow rate, but they gave me the replay rate when I went for the second round.

Fun, but hit the fairway or drop

Nice course, but any shots off the fairway were nearly impossible to find due to all the dandelions.

Great course for the money

Played this course for the first time and I was impressed considering it was under $30 for me to play. Greens weren’t in the best shape because they are still recovering from being punched but it is definitely a challenging course that makes you bring your A game in order to score well. Overall great course for the value

Well Kept Golf Course

The fairways green and the greens are fast. My only issue was the distance of the driving range from the course. You have to get in your car for a 5 minute drive to get there.

Really Good Layout

Really Good Layout. Driving the ball well becomes a premium after the first few opening holes. One of the toughest par 3s that you will find in Chicagoland on the back nine. Be careful, the greens look tame but filled with subtle breaks. Have fun!
