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.

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

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.

Fire on the crew

Greens keeper must be new. Maybe it’s money, not sure. The course can be nice but lack of maintenance and knowledge.
