Shop ancient, course is good

Was ready to not like this course, but after a few holes, I enjoyed the course. A couple of holes with some layouts that are heard to figure out if you have not been there before. Really great deal for the money. Will play there again

Fun

Great carts with state-of-the-art GPS systems. Didn't like practicing off the matts on the range. Bunkers need work but the fairways and greens were fine. The bar & food is okay, and the entire staff is great.

Challenging Yet Fun

The course had water on almost every hole, but the best feature was the course layout. It had a great flow along with a beautiful ambiance. For a Friday, I was pleasantly surprised that pace was pretty fast. The course has it challenges with I think it’s the third hole that has hole water on both sides which is a peak into what you can expect from this point on. The course is well maintained. I suppose that is due to all the alarms that go off in your cart when you’re out of bounds or headed to an area you shouldn’t go. I definitely plan to go back and l would highly recommend this hidden gem in the northwest suburbs.

Best bang for your buck

I've played here numerous times and there is one guy who I assume runs the place and is very friendly and accommodating. I've seen him cleaning the practice range, driving around as the marshall to keep pace, and as the starter, and has always been a good vibe. This place is a great value for twilight times which you wouldn't think it by driving into the place as it's fairly old and the buildings aren't as updated as most places are nowadays but the course conditions are great. The course is on the smaller side but most holes are narrow which makes it challenging. Best value I've found in the area

Played front 9 only. Wish I had time for 18!

I had a 3 hour window open up this morning and was in the Schaumburg area so I booked 9 holes blindly at a course I never played. I am glad I did! The course played well for this high handicap player. Paired up with a lovely couple. Pace of play was average. Great conditions after light rain last night. I would play it again if only to check out the back nine.
