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.

Nice course

Very friendly staff. Course was in pretty good shape. The tee boxes could use a little work.

I wish there was a driving range. Practice green has seen better days.

Very poorly kept overall. Tee boxes and greens very chopped up. Fairways as well. Roughs, lots of weeds and very deep grass. Guess I know why it was easy to get on course and pace of play was good. No one was on the course.

Cranes Landing

More weeds than grass. Greens had more craters on it than the moon. Slow play, no rangers encouraging faster play. No drink cart on a 90 degree day. This course is suffering a slow death. This course at its current pace will not be around in a couple of years.

Quite a shame

Truly disappointed as the course was in very poor condition. Bunkers not maintained at all. Greens with multiple bare spots. I was shocked by how poor the condition of the course was. Weeds prominent.

I play many different courses and I haven't seen anything like this. I cannot believe that this is on a Marriott property..

This is truly a shame as the course has potential to be a shot makers paradise.

Need TLC

Need to cut the rough. Water the greens if not the fairways. Staff was very friendly. Two twosomes in front put together, but backed up the course with extremely slow play. Skipped ahead and smooth sailing the rest of the round. Should have rangers keeping pace. Hope you get back to pre-pandemic form as I remember course better maintained. I’d give this. Purse another shot in the future and hope to see some improvements.
