End of season round

There were lots of ground staff working on the course. Fairways were in good shape but several of the greens were a little beat up with lots of divot’s that had not been fixed. Since the temperature was only 50 degrees there were fewer golfers on the course so the pace was excellent. We played our round under four hours. Staff was helpful and friendly and the restaurant was still serving a full menu.

Fall Classic

The course was in excellent condition, greens were clean and very quick with fairways very manicured. Lot of leaves but just a great fall day on a really solid course

Irritating course to play. Some poor course conditions and slow play. Find a different tract next time you play.

Don’t waste your time at HO. Go to the newly renovated Winnetka golf club or the Arboretum club. Much better values.

What you see is what you get

Excellent facilities. Good overall bang for your buck (especially if you get Hot Deal on GolfNow). Only glaring issue would be some suspect pin placements. Course is in good shape overall.

Fun course

Love the layout here and the pace of play was right at 4 hours on a Saturday morning. Course was also in great shape despite the lack of rain.

Lots to Love

Layout is fun. More undulation than most Chicagoland public courses (CPCs). Sand is fluffy, not clay/dirt-esque like most CPCs. Pace seems to always be good. 4 hours on weekdays, less than 5 on weekends. Driving range, large putting area, bigger chipping area. Halfway house accessible via like 6 holes. A couple proper bathrooms here and there. The clubhouse has a proper bar/restaurant. Definitely a top 5 CPC for me.

With the lack of rain, the course was dried out. With all courses, no one repairs their ball marks

The staff was great.
