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.

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.
Cranes Landing 7/25/21
Good layout, great staff, some greens need work, some tee boxes néed grass cutting, some tee boxes need updates.
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.
Great Deal for a Great Course
This is my go to course in the northern suburbs. The price is great and the course is beautiful.
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.
Not bad!
Always having great time playing at this golf course. I don’t know why but always couple par 4 and one par 5 cart path only!
Farther’s Day Round
Enjoyed the round. Pace was good as we only had to wait a couple times for the group ahead of us. Greens were in very good shape but there were a few tee-boxes and fairways that need some attention specially in the back nine but overall the course was in good condition.
Terrible
Poor quality
Women’s tee box worst I have ever seen in 40 years of golf
They were unkept and my wife felt she was teeing off a rough.
Not worth the money asked.
I have played at other Marriott resorts this happened to be the worst I have ever seen.
Won’t be back
I have been playing for 40 years
Will never come back worst course I have played in..
Women’s tee box the worst I have ever seen
It was like teeing off Scottish rough..
Put some some money into it
The place has promise
Disappointed
Kind of burned out, no water, no ball washers, traps uneven and a strange front vs. back 9. Someone else mentioned the water smells.. and it does. A picture of the on course bathroom.
Good Hot Deal Course
At this point I would only recommend Cranes Landing as a last minute ‘Hot Deal’ for <$50. Because of lack of play the greens are ok, but the rest of the course really needs some TLC.
It’s really too bad; a few years ago when it was a true resort course it was a really nice track with small, elevated & well protected greens along with tight bent grass fairways. It was a short but challenging course that required all of your clubs & every shot.
Hopefully they put some money into it & return it to its former self.
