A gem

We are lucky to have this course in the Chicago area. It’s not just good, it’s clever.

Poor hospitality/ Cussed at by employees

Horrible experience. Pro shop staff cussed me out. Made excuses for pace of play. Starter said the ranger on staff wasn’t going to do anything to fix pace of play. Asked for a rain check while raining and pro shop attendant cussed at me. Used to be favorite course in the area. Will never be back.

NIce course and convient for the money.

I do not play regularly. So my review is based on a golfer which plays 3-5 time per season at best. But the course is more challenging than Streamwood Oaks Golf Club and less challenging than The HIghlands of Elgin.

I did not eat or spend time in the clubhouse.
