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.

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.

Worst management

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!

First Time Playing

Disappointing maintenance

Greens, fairways, and tee boxes all needed work. Brown patches and worn turf on all.

Pace of play was great! 3 hours...never saw anyone ahead me until 15.

Course layout was good. Greens had a LOT of unrepaired ball marks which may be an indication of the level of player going there.

The price on Golf Now was outstanding

A one and done for me

Review

Tee boxes in terrible shape. Very narrow fairways. Pace was great first 11 holes and got to 12th tee box and had foursome waiting on tee for a group on the green of SEVEN players playing as one group. For $55 Saturday afternoon not terribly priced and got a rain check for back nine but terribly maintained course with no drainage in fairways or by green leaving soggy conditions after days of no rain.
