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.

Good

Good course to play; back 9 is longer and will use every club.

Issue we had was no one in the clubhouse to check people in, no carts, teed off about 20mins after our time with many groups standing around confused.

No help for the handicapped.

Golf Carts are not allowed in parking lot, even for the handicapped. I was made to carry cart bag and walk from parking lot to driveway past pro shop and onto first tee cart path. There was no accommodation made. Reprehensible.

Greens and course not taken care of

The greens, especially on the back 9 were not taken care of at all. Lots of bald spots. The tee boxes seemed like they were in the rough. Drainage seems bad as it there was puddles but it hasn’t rained in days.

Cranes baby

Good challenging course with nice wildlife (birds) on it.

Make sure you hit it straight because the.tight fairways demand it. Greens do not break as much as they appear, but then again that could be my putting, lol.

Overall great course to play. My 2-some finished in 3 hrs.
