Crane's Landing at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort
About
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.

Course totally overgrown
Spent too much time looking for balls
Fairway rough way to long
Grass off of Fairway was too deep, needed to be cut.
A great lay-out destroyed by poor maintenance
This course has a great layout. Holes 7, 9 and 11 are really challenging. And they are totally ignoring the course and does the absolute minimum to keep it functioning. As you drive in, you are greeted with numerous deep pot holes. The clubhouse is a joke. The building is painted dark brown - possibly to avoid further painting. Putting green is a joke. The nets for practice are there but not usable. Tee boxes have not been repaired for years . Rough areas are overgrown, with extraneous weeds and grass, The fairways and greens are mowed, but look pathetic. AND THEY CALL IT A GOLF COURSE ?
Wet
Course needs some love. Rough is overgrown and covered in weeds, fairways had some standing puddles and swampy areas. With a little rejuvenation this place would be fantastic.
Water Everywhere, Staff Nowhere
On the front 9 I lost two balls into the water and had to take a relief drop. The problem is that both of those balls WERE IN THE CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. The balls I'd not lost to fairway water hazards had to be frequently moved, dropped onto a surface that was not partially covered in 1/2 to 1 inch of water.
They are having trouble staffing the course too. There was one employee in the pro shop and I saw one course marshal one time. They have no staff for Starter, Food & Beverage.
Could be better
You can score low on the front. Bring fairway woods to score on the back. Course plays longer than 6300 yards. Greens real good.
Fall golf
The conditions and cost were on par for fall season. Pace of play was good. Some greens were rough but to be expected in the time of the year.
Not really a resort type course. IMO
LAST CHANCE
TOO MANY PEOPLE MOVING LIKE A SNELL NEED A RANGER TO IMPROVE THE PACE
Tech deficient
Course is average but staff is pleasant. Carts do not have any technology so difficult to know distances. Especially difficult when wet and carts only on cart path so don't see markers other than 150 yard stick.
