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.

Fun track, very tranquil setting

Very nice course, I will be back. The yardage is not real long but the challenge comes in some tight fairways and challenging doglegs. My biggest challenge was trying to figure up the "crowned" greens...seemed like I was always putting uphill.

The greens at this course were very slow due to a sand base... Expected better green conditions. The course was satisfactory for the rate paid...

Green's were incredibly difficult

Greens were like putting on ice. Extremely fast with difficult hole locations. I almost never 3 putt, but 3 putted 16 of 18 holes.

The people I played with said it was very unusual for the greens to be so fast.

Golf Now failed this time

Golf Now failed to inform that half the course was flooded and only 8 holes open on front and 2 holes on back.

Same price as booking at clubhouse but booking fee made it more expensive online.

Shorter, well maintained course

This is a well kept shorter course. The facilities are in great condition. Medium-fast greens with a nice layout. A little pricey if you book directly with them - make sure to book online for the best deal.

A spectacular day..

A truly challenging course, with lots of water hazards and environmentally-protected out-of-bounds areas. One has to hit it straight. Greens were good, quick, true. Bunkers feature dense brown sand; have to "thump it" solidly. Great pace: finished in under 3.5 hours. Terrific staff, electric carts, sophisticated GPS worked like a charm. Will return, for sure.

Nice course, close to home.

As a resident of Lincolnshire I find the Marriott Golf Course a local treasure. From the greeting at the bag drop to the cleaning of the clubs after a round this is a first class operation. Doug is always there with a smile at the pro shop. The grill is not extensive but really good food. My brother-in-law tried to make the chicken sandwich last the entire back nine. We played the blue tees and that makes the course quite challenging. Today I shot 92 with no snowmen but two sevens. The weather was cool for July which suited me just fine. After many days of rain I was pleasantly surprised at the splendid condition of the course. There were only three holes designated as "Cart path only". I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a business outing or an afternoon away from the office.

Convienent to Marriott Resort

Played Crane's Landing over the Fourth of July Weekend while staying at the Marriott Resort.. Course was in great shape. Greens were smooth and consistent.The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My wife golfed along with me, she is a beginning golfer but was very happy with the short tees which were fair but challenging to her and made her round enjoyable. Overall we had a fun and enjoyable round.
