9 holes when you need it

Great course when I don’t have time for 18. I live nearby and can warm up at the range and short game area, and walk 9 holes (pretty flat) on a well maintained course for little more money than going to the range. Staff is nice and players I’ve been paired with have been pleasant. Pace of play has been fine

Nice Course

First time playing this course since the renovation. Conditions are very good and nice fairly fast greens that roll very true. The new carts are the best I have seen anywhere. However, pace of play could have been better, and the price could be a little more reasonable.

Fun in Northbrook

This was my first time at Heritage Oaks (IL) Legacy 9. The course was in great shape. I found it challenging enough for a high handicapper who has dreams of playing much better--like myself. The greens were firm and fair. I wish my foursome had played faster but that's what happens when you're hitting the ball all over the place. One compliment I'll bet you don't get very often is my appreciation for the native plants surrounding the course. Rudbeckia, bergamot, Joe Pye Weed, and other pollinator-attracting plants are absolutely necessary to keep our planet healthy. My congratulations to the groundskeeper or whoever is responsible for those plants. Add more!

Golf with family

I played the Legacy 9 hole course with family. This was the first time I played this course since it reopened as Heritage Oaks. I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed playing the course with the exception of the standing water due to an overnight storm. Other than that, I would definitely recommend. The course is wide open.

Ranger needed… and please groom the sand traps!

I understand beginners will flock to a nine hole course, but the lack of a ranger on this course often means play is painfully slow. A ranger is needed to help TEACH new players about ready golf, making the experience better for everyone.

And the grounds crew desperately needs to work on the sand traps. For the amount of money the Northbrook Park District poured into this course a couple of years ago — mostly into the lackluster clubhouse — the sand shouldn’t be hard pan. Please get the guys out there working on it.
