Crane's Landing at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort
Rating Snapshot
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.

Greens in good shape; fairways not. Staff were very accomodating and helpful. Good value.
“When A Course Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade !”
Have played here 1-2 times a year for the past 5 years. I’ll cut to the chase : is it a true “Resort” course right now? Absolutely not - it looked and played today like your average hacker’s favorite muni. Many (but not all) of the slamming review comments are still valid today. But, if you keep your expectations at a realistic level, and especially if you can score a hot deal price like I did, you’ll be happy overall with your experience here, whereas if you pay full price, yeah you’re going to feel cheated and be upset. So just go with the flow, enjoy the fact you’re even able to get out and play right now (remember March / April, when you would have killed to play anywhere ?) and remember , YOU’RE still on the “right side of the grass” - and then you’ll have a good enough day here.
Look elsewhere
Just terrible all around. A card in the cart said they are working on the course conditions. No sign of this anywhere on the course. 5hr round to boot.
Eh
Eh. I don’t know how they can charge $50 to play here. I kinda feel like a sucker paying it. Would only recommend playing here if there are no other times available within 25 miles and you have the itch to play.
COURSE NEEDS MORE CARE
Beside the course needing more care, it was relatively OK. The staff is always kind and easy to accommodate. The staff should be a more attentive to the first tee box, as single players were going off in front of four sums, and a single behind us.
only play here if it's very cheap to do so
-- very tight course
-- undulating greens make putting difficult
-- fairways in terrible shape
This course can be a little tricky to shoot your handicap if you don't play correct tees. The greens were rolling true. course needs time to recover from wet spring. many challenges with crowned greens . These greens will challenge your putting skills, especially longer putts. I trust they will get it back to tip top shape & it will be a gem once again. .
used to be great !!
fairways in bad shape , can’t find your ball in the rough . grass not maintained ... greens not the worst but could be better . I lost balls w/o even going out of bounds ...
Great staff members
Today’s course pace was poor due to outing and condition of the course was terrible. I’m surprised this course is a part of Marriot resort?
Joe p
First nine was perfect. Back nine was in bad condition.
Tony's mini review
Very nice course, but fairways on back 9 and hole 8 were in less tha average condition.
Greens were in good shape, and not extremely fast.
I enjoyed playing this course, but needed a cart.
