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.

Eric and Natalia are the excellent pro shop hosts!
Course has its challenges and should not take it lightly.
So beware hit em straight and far always 🏌️♂️
Vastly improving!
It’s been many years since I played this course, and I was impressed with the conditions, course layout, staff is organized and friendly…
You ALMOST get a country club feel. Yes, it’s still a public course but the staff said they poured in money last year (2023) and they are pouring more this year. He said that come 2025, it’ll be a super, super course.
So, I will play again and recommend you try it now and next year!
Golf was after a major rain storm. Everywhere was flooded and probably should of closed course for the day
A great comeback story
Course has rebounder splendidly from the water damage sustained a few seasons ago. Fairways are nice to hit from, rough is appropriately penalizing (but not excessively). Even the bunkers were decent, no complaints there either. Shout out to Stephanie (think that's right) @ the bar for the good post-round drinks & conversation. I had stayed away from Cranes Landing for year's after the course sustained enormous damage due to flooding 7 or 8 years ago. This course is ONCE AGAIN, BACK IN ROTATION! Great value too!
Good good & bad
This is one of the best laid out golf courses in the Midwest. It is like a southern resort golf course with trees, water, and narrow fairways. Unfortunately, I assume, that they don’t have the budget of a publicly owned course. The fairways are in decent condition, but the greens are rough. The head pro, Eric, is one of the best teaching pros in Chicagoland. The staff is quite friendly. However, there really are no facilities. This course was designed with plush amenities in mind. They’ve been abandoned. The locker room was designed as in a nice country club, but, is now just dank. The restaurant has been abandoned. The clubhouse has for sale beer and golf balls. That’s it. This course and this staff deserve better. That being said, this course is well worth playing.
