Crane's Landing at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort
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.

This course is in horrendous shape. All the greens and tee boxes are in horrible conditions. And many of the fairways as well. I should ask for my money back, it was that bad. Every green and tee box was brown and full of divots. And many of the fairways looked like they were not watered all summer. They should not even be open if they aren't going to maintain their course.
A Course in Terrible Condition
Fairways, greens, tee boxes - everything was beat up to almost an unplayable condition, Only one person working when trying to check in. The office was locked, as the employee was out moving carts. This course needs a good deal of work before allowing people to play.
Condition of course not as good as beginning of season
Fairway and green conditions not good. Many dirt bare points and grass not great either. You could hit a nice fairway shot and it would often land and be deflected by where a bare point and tuft of grass meet.
Sad as it’s a Marriott course and expectation is quality.
Greens
I like this course with some easy holes and some challenging. The greens, however, were the worst I have played all year. Not worth the price when you can’t putt.
O'Connor gets a round in
It is in the worst shape I have ever seen - playing it for 25 or so years..... Terrible and it
has been going downhill for 20+ years but this is a all time low. No way is it worth the money. No wonder pace of play is good - no one is playing this - and I won't be back. Marriott must have dumped this course years ago - cause it's rough, Traps, fairways - Greens everywhere need works its a $25-35 a round type of course.
Crane's Landing - Poor
I decided to play this course on a whim looking to get out and play on Sunday. I have driven by the course many times always thinking what the course would be like to play.
Unfortunately the course did not meet my expectations. The course was poorly managed, the fairways and greens were so dry that it made it unplayable. I wound up walking off the course after 10 holes.
I would not recommend this course to anyone, even if it was free.
TOTAL rip off
If I could give 0 stars I would. This has become an absolute goat ranch. Took 5 hours for a round. Previous holes on greens everywhere. I actually asked a starter, "what do you have against water??" Tee boxes are dirt, good look finding grass. I paid $110 for WHAT?? This is a RESORT?!? Then hire a greens keeper!! Suspend all expectations if you have to visit for an event! This is a Marriott, it's absolutely ridiculous. The bartender, however, was lovely.
The course needs a complete face lift. Good layout. It can be one of the better
courses in the northern suburbs

Cracked Greens
I’m leaving this review for a course that I like to play and enjoy the layout. But course conditions were horrendous. All the greens were dried out, burnt out and cracked all over the place. They seriously need a new superintendent because even a blind person could tell that he’s not doing his job. I’ll be back to play when they have real greens to play on. The staff was fine unfortunately they had to take the brunt of the bad course conditions.
Condition of tees and green the worst I’ve seen in 40 years.
Played with water sprinklers ON for the front 9, no compensation as 1/4” standing water on 9/18 greens…
Shocked
Love this course…..until yesterday. It’s in terrible shape right now. Some fairways are worse than roughs. Sand is solid. Greens had landmines all over. Need to move holes less or get better at replacing them. I’ll check again next season but no way I’d play it again this year.
Solo Round
Played here several times but this time the course was in worse condition than ever. Tee boxes were beaten, fairways were dry. The greens were really trashed. Like rock hard and no grass… even the guys I played with couldn’t believe how bad they were. I usually play here because I get a good rate from Golf Now but it is hard to play and enjoy the round under this condition.
