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.

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.

First Time Playing

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.

Friendly Staff, Great Value

Very friendly, accommodating, and helpful staff. Greens and a few spots in the fairways that could use a little work but for the discounted price we paid it wasn’t too bad. A few tight fairways but if you hit the ball straight you can really take advantage of the short course length.

No cart. No notice to people. No management. Don't go to play. It will be waste your time.

Decent layout but course needs some love when it comes to maintenance

The greens are in decent shape but it seems no one knows how to repair a ball mark.

The tee boxes need attention as they are not well maintained and showed be mowed and fertilized.

The fairways were in the best shape of all!
