Tour of Hoffman Estates

Beautiful course, lots of changes of scenery. Walked 18 holes with my buddy and would not recommend doing that unless you are very fit (I’m not). Will absolutely come back again but will be riding in a cart. Everyone on the staff was awesome

Great course. A lot of people interruptions

We love playing this challenging course. The conditions ard verg good, fairway is well maintained and greens receptive yet fast. On three holes, kids were roaming through the course. We are somewhat leary since the nearby townhomes are known to provide thevies tgat remove items from your cart while you are putting. Each time we encountered these teens we had to stay near our carts while they proceeded by so that nothing would disappear. Too bad the course could not keep these little trespassers out. Otherwise a great course and staff.

Course was in good early season form!

The course was really well maintained and was fun to play today. The only restrooms are at the clubhouse which can be an bit inconvenient, and for some reason the starter was a bit on the aggressive side. We had a threesome, and they had addd a single to our group. The single was at the tee, and when we pulled up, 10 minutes before our tee time, he was rude, and was telling us to get going, even though our tee time was at 10. We teed off, and literally saw no one behind us for the entire round. Please have your non angry staff at the first tee. Makes a better day for everyone.

Terrible condition waste of money

Cart path only today. Fairways we’re mostly in terrible condition. Today was extremely windy. The conditions made the course very challenging. We teed off at 3:10 Sunset today was 710. We finish 17 at 7 PM and was told that was our last hole because we had to leave even though there was plenty of light to finish our round. A four hour round for cartpath only in the conditions we golfed in and the conditions the course was in is completely acceptable. I would have to say that just about any course in the area is so much better than Hilldale. Do not waste your money.
