Relaxing day!

Golfed a round with my brother-in-law. One additional player was added to our tee time. Overall, good day of golf. My background in golf: former assistant superintendent.

Difficult course, some narrow fairways.

Grey course lots of fun, can be very punishing course if you miss the fairways.

Pace of play was ridiculous. I complained at the turn and they just game me some lip service.

Stay out if the sand

Overall the course is in good shape. The greens roll consistent and pretty true and the fairways are solid. The play is light so the round moves quickly. My major concern is the sand - and there is lots of it. It's very coarse (think cat litter) and has lots of stones in it. We played after some rain the day before and it was almost unplayable. You could not get your club under the ball which made any hope of getting up and down from a trap around the green wishful thinking.

diamond in the rough

Redtail has always been one of my favorite Chicagoland values. A 38 mile drive from the city, but is worth. I really like the lay out of the course and all the nature that you can experience.

Great course for a beginner player. Challenging but not too easy. Greens are easy to read and the course is well maintained. Price seems a little high but will play again

Chris and his staff are excellent. Course layout very good, you wont fall asleep. Two island greens that are fair but challenging. Very good value for the money.

Great for the money.

Overall a very good experience. Stuck behind a couple of very slow players but moved ahead at the turn. The course is in good shape for this time of year. Very open after a recent wetland burn. Will fill in again soon I'm sure.
