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.

Go somewhere else

This is one of the worst courses I have ever played. Half the course is dirt. Interesting strategy to have dirt patches on the greens. All of the water smells like farts. There is no way this course will be around much longer. I wouldn’t play it again for free.

Needs TLC

This is a wonderful course that has been neglected for a few years. It needs some attention. For a resort course that expectation is there for travelers. I understand COVID has been an issue, but two years ago it wasn’t and they didn’t maintain it then

No Ranger

It’s very early in the season here but hitting multiple balls of& numerous tees is not right. The golf course was in good shape overall. Value was great and we will return.

If you like pin point shot accuracy , this is your course

Played here first time , should have looked at layout more closely ! Not a long course , but water came into play around 75% of holes . I have heard course has always had problems with flooding , and this year was no exception . front 9 was in nice shape , back had a few holes where ground was under repair. Greens were in good shape for winter time . Over all , an interesting course , check layout before you play . Looking forward to playing again.
