Nice course

Nice course for the money. Some challenging shots, lots of blind shots, plenty of water in play. Greens in good shape. Its a tough play for your first time since there sre lots of hazards you won't know about. No yardage, so a range finder is nice to have. Park district is putting a lot of work into this course. I will definitely play again. Lots of houses along the course, so don't be too errant or you'll be getting a bill for a window.

June 11 2022 outing

I like the course layout in terms of challenge and variety of hole types.

The fairways and greens were in good shape.

The bunker state was unforgivable: basically every sand trap on the course was either under construction, had weeds or rocks, or had no sand at all...never have I seen a course in this state of disrepair charging full price.

Several of the tee boxes have overgrown trees that need trimming significantly hampering tee shots and angles. This was not a course feature, it was lack of basic maintenance.

Food menu very limited, hot dogs or brats and chips only, just FYI.

Pro Shop Guy Will Keep Me Away

I play 1st tees throughout the week. Not worth the trouble dealing with the jerk there. Wouldn’t unlock the door until 6:00, despite me waiting outside for 15 minutes. Warned me I couldn’t tee off til 5 after & threatened “no rain checks”. Insisted I hadn’t paid yet & I told him I had. He hadn’t even checked the system yet of course he was wrong. I’m always super polite. Will golf St Andrews, Bloomingdale’s, the other DuPage courses instead.

Horrible!!!!!!

Been playing for decades and have seen courses %100 worse due to rain the previous day.

It was cart path only. After walking the entire course ( fairways/ rough) did not see or feel any squish whatsoever to warrant cart path only. Besides, every single bunker was unplayable due to seemingly years of not taking care of them. From rocks to crap growing out of them to erosion.

Will never play there again or recommend the course to anyone. Totally horrible all the way around.

Good course

The course was nice, a lot of water and sand which made it fun. Bunkers were in really rough shape. It had just rained, but seemed like the bunkers were not well maintained.

Nice course

Played this course after quite a bit of rain. It was a bit soggy but still enjoyable to play. A lot of water to contend with on the fairways a bit of a challenge.
