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.

Course is in awful shape

It was a fun time but the course is in awful shape. Super water logged even though we’ve barely had rain this week. Many miles of dead grass and dirt

Should wait to open

Shame they are charging a full rate when the majority of the course is damaged. It was great last summer but no way would I play here for full price until they get rid of water. They should've at least warned us, I've lost my trust in then saying the course is in playable condition. Plenty of other courses are way better for cheaper

Course should not be open at this time

I am pretty easy going, but this course should not be open. The majority of the holes are still water damaged. I have played this course many times in the past and always enjoyed my rounds. But right now they should just close until the repairs from the flooding have taken place. In the least there should be some kind of warning that golfers play at your own discression....because of all the flooding damage. To pay full price is BS. Had I known the course was in as bad as shape as it was........you wouldn’t been able to pay me to play there. I really do like Cranes Landing, but right now.....shame on you Crane’s Landing for not warning golfers of the severity of the flood damage that still exists and taking FULL PRICE to play there now.

Rain rain go away

Course is short. If you are an intermediate golfer you should post a low score. The grounds are plagued by floods from all the rain. Needs better drainage. Greens very slow most likely because of not getting cut/rolled during Covid. The areas that have not been hit by flooding are in pretty good shape

Clearly bad damage to almost entire layout from flooding a few weeks ago. But overall maintenance was lacking.

WET<WET>WET

Wow this place is wet. It is along the DesPlaines River and when it floods it destroys what was there and that happens 2 to three times a year. When not flooding the place is being fixed or replanting or something I could not figure out.

I would not play there except this fall after all the rain and grass is allowed to grow. It is a resort course there for the Hotel guest to play but they do not. Huge amount of foreign clients....that play early and you can get a t time after 2.

Too bad they’re located where they are

Due to the constantly flooding Des Plaines river, this course is in pretty bad shape. 8th hole is a really short par 3 now and most holes on the back are water soaked with little to no grass.

Used to be a really nice place. Unfortunately the river is ruining it.

Course was closed

Unfortunately the course was closed due to weather. It is close to the DesPlaines River and they were expecting some flooding.

I could not find where to get get my cancellation/refund - so a little disappointing. I have used GolfNow for several years and am uncertain if I will again.
