Rating 71.1

Crane's Landing Golf Club is the centerpiece of Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Designed by George Fazio, the course winds across 110 acres of preserved woodlands. It is a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary that offers stunning views of the Des Plaines River nearby. At just over 6,300 yards, the golf course is not particularly lengthy but it still offers some formidable challenges. Water is a prominent feature of the course with ponds and a winding river coming into play on 12 holes. The greens are small and raised and the sculpted fairways are tightly lined with mature trees, demanding accuracy off the tee. Crane's Landing Golf Club's back nine is especially difficult thanks to the river, which runs along the entire left side of the 13th hole and also appears on no. 17, the course's longest hole.

Sad conditions

I would give up golf if this was the only course available to me. Horrible conditions. Sad that Marriotts would put their brand on this product.

Fun course

This course can easily be a great course but falls short because of the poor green conditions. For $60 I would have expected the greens not to be torn up on so many holes.

Course is in beautiful shape

Beautiful day for golf-temp 82 partially cloudy.

Caught up to a single on hole 17.

One spectacular hole that made it look like I knew what I was doing

Excellent price and value

Sixsomes Allowed, No ranger?

Horrible! 6 some ahead of us and no rangers anywhere. Par 4s with over 450 yards from white tees? So much here makes no sense. I only played because I got golf now cheap rate but still can't recommend.
