Just like old times

I spent many a happy day playing Ingersoll In the day. Have not played for a number of years BUT that changed today. What a difference!! Clubhouse is great, well groomed course, just so many happy memories. Very friendly and welcoming staff—will be playing often. Kudos to the Rockford Park District!!!!

Comparision

Played in the Ballard Tournament with many golfers from out of town.Day (1) one at Ingersol Golf Coarse. Even though there was excessive rain a day ealier coarse was in prestine condition from the club house to any green the best I've ever seen it.

Unlike day (2) two at Elliott Golf Coarse, flowering clover on tee boxes, fairway and the rough.Should have at least mowed tee boxes and greens.

Knowing a tournament with over 100 golfers and the media showing up alot could be learned by the approach taken by Ingersol Golf Coarse.

Grade:

Ingersol (5) five stars

Elliott (2) two stars barely

Great shape

The course and greens are on great shape, it looks like they are changing the shape of the fairways and grooming the tee boxes by the markings on the ground. The rough is still short (which is good for me I seem to be in it a lot) but as it grows the fairways will be better defined. It is a shame that some of the old trees had to come down, but it is still one of the best deals around.

Nice Course

This is a nice course that we would play again. The front nine is not extremely interesting, with a lot of straight shots. The par 3 holes are long and challenging. The back nine provides more interest, but it is shorter. The fairways were dry, which is not unusual for this time of year in Illinois. Overall, the course was well maintained. The pace of play was reasonable for a weekend, which is very important in my eyes. A few spots on this course are congested, and I recommend keeping your wits about you for errant shots. The folks we encountered while playing and in the clubhouse were very pleasant. We will be back.

Ingersol Golf Course still a great Course !

Played 18 holes and a cart for $10 on Columbus Day. Rockford Illinois has always been know for great golf courses. The Rockford Park District and Director iof Golf Duncan Gedes continue to a wonderful job.

Just because a golf rate on Golf Now is inexpensive does not mean it’s a bad course. This was a great experience.

Nice

This course is nice. On the shorter side and less challenging than other courses I've played around Rockford. Great for a beginner or just some practice.

unwelcoming

I have played 3 time at this course. Benny was very unwelcoming. It was around 5 one day and a staff member wanted the cart back. there was enough light to finish our round.

I came with a pass for 18 holes and a cart and Benny would not give me a cart. It was the middle of the afternoon!

I understand the "Rockford good ole boys network" maybe that's why rounds are down in the city courses. HIRE FRIENDLY STAFF LIKE AT Sandy Hollow and Sinissippi.

Best value!

This is a regular course for me. The experienced golfer will have a lot of fun playing here with a straight forward course layout. There are many holes you can just open up on the drive yet also other holes with tight fairways. Greens during the summer are awesome! The park district does a good job maintaining it. For the twilight rates you really can't beat the value here it's an easy enough course yet will challenge you enough that you can enjoy the round. Side notes: pace of play needs to improve but that's public golf, there are no bodies of water on the course (not a complaint merely observation), fun driveable par 4s, short par 5s, finishing 3 holes are favorite holes of the course!
