It was a very pleasant golfing experience.

There are several tough holes that requires carefull course management. The pace of the game is well monitored by the rangers.

Nice course but a little too high priced.

Paid $53 for 18 holes with cart. I have played many courses this year and I am willing to pay a high price for a high quality course. I would think this course should be priced between $40 and $45 based on other courses in the area. At that price level I would rate it 4 stars. Sand traps require attention or at least some more sand in them. I know the last couple of rains have destroyed many traps but there has been time to make the repairs. The one positive--very easy to get on especially on a very nice weekend but too many 2-somes were allowed out which slowed play.

Needs attention and slow pace

Pace was slow all through the day. The fairways looked like try hadn't seen water in months. The traps were concrete and the greens weren't any better.

Played on a rainy day, was in good shape.

1 hour rain delay, due to lightening. Would have played quicker if not for that. Lots of tricky shots due to lakes. Nice course, though.

Good for the money, challenging but not too hard.

Very nice golf course. There isn't much room for error. There is quite a bit of water and /or trees on this course. I would bring lots of practice balls.

This course has seen better days.

Pace of play.
Course plays almost 6200 yards from the tips.
It should take no more than 3-3.5 hours to play this course.
Father's day afternoon. Hardly anybody on the course.
Front 9 was an average pacing, took 1.5 hrs.
Back nine took 3 hrs. - Human rain delay ahead us.
No rangers around to speed up play. Though, ranger did tell us to keep our cart on the cart-path at the 8th tee off area.(Rt. 2 wheels were a tad on gravel)

Equipment problems.
Our cart had hardly any brakes.
At the turn a 2-some came off the 18th, complaining that their cart had no brakes.
A ranger's cart ran out of juice on the 16th hole.
We picked up a cart hub cap on the 18th fairway..

Course conditions. With this great spring and summer, this course should be in pristine condition.
There is absolutely no sand in the bunkers. Might as well be hitting off of hard-pan.
The greens are in terrible shape. No consistency.
The 2nd fairway had open drain holes...no grated covers.

There are better values in the area.

Behind 3 Sum too much pushing us and hit the ball before we hit scond shot.

Even though we are not late, but the behind 3 Sum is keep pushing us, so we can not play well. Our play was done in within 4 Hours (around 3: 50 minutes).
Behind 3 Sum too much pushing us and hit the ball before we hit scond shot. Someone is hitting the balls in our fairway during we setup our Tee Shot.
Gate was opened, so we brought our cart to the parking lot, some staff said why you brought the cart to the parking lot. If the cart does not allow in the parking lot, the gate should be keep as closed.

Anyway we don't want to play this course anymore.
Competely feel bad.

Not good value for your money

The course was in very decent condition, but I have to say that it was not worth the $30 I spent. It was a neighbor hood golf course and some of the greens were butted up to other greens with a separation of only 7-10 feet. It made for a very hazardous putting experience wondering if the guys on the other hole were gonna hit up on you.

Course needs some maintenance

It's not the worst I've ever played, not close to the best in Chicago, and it's nowhere near the value I'd expect. Sand bunkers look like they've never been maintained with hard pack dirt. Also, tee boxes need significant work and there's more geese droppings than I've ever seen around the entire course.

Course plays tight because of the close proximity of nearby homes. Course also plays a little short, but it helps make for a quick round and a little funner play.

Otherwise the fairway and rough receive no complaints from me except for a few mud spots (blame it on the excessive rain lately). But overall, for $50+ it's not worth the value to come back and play again until they really put in some maintenance.
