The drainage on the course is terrible. Giant rutts in the cart path, standing water every where.

Beginners course

First impression was from the pro shop staff. Rude, not helpful. A interesting designed course with a few good holes. Its a course for beginners and players of lower ability. Conditions are fair at best, maintenance is basic. Disappointed in employee training. Rudeness must be the norm. Was yelled at by the grass cutter of the day. Tossing a rake into the poorly maintaned bunker so my wife could rake it after she played. He commented on if that's how we treat your clubs. Should have left the bunker like the players before us UNRAKED. Irritating how we were charged weekend rates and midway on the back nine the same grass cutter mentioned earlier was verticutting the greens. Mid day on a sunday, primetime, and only three or four greens!!! As I said earlier. Bad management...

Wouldn't recommend this course to anyone.

Great Course - Too Hot

We enjoyed our round at Antioch Golf Club very much. The course is well maintained with challenging greens. Sometimes hard to figure out where the next tee is, though everyone on the course was very helpful. Would have been an excellent day if it wasn't over 100 degrees and humid, oh, and the yellow jackets. Fortunately I'm not allergic. They have an excellent grill with sports drinks available.

Low Quality

Course is in bad shape. Most tee boxes are patches of weeds and dirt. Hot deal makes it almost worth it. Full price would be ridiculous.

Weak course conditions

With a wedding building, good staff, and quick play, the course seems like a great time. The course is manageable for your scores but since the conditions are not very good (fairways, greens, and bunkers) it makes this course more tough than it should be.

decent course on the right day

The course looked really nice from outside, but greens were over watered and the fairways and tees were hard as a rock. Might have just went on a bad day. Club house was nice and food was amazing. Pace of play was good, fairways were a bit close though, had to wait on 4 holes for someone to play their ball out of my fairway. For the price though, it is a good looking course.

Average course surrounded by homes. Back nine tougher than front. Good condition. had a few memorable holes that required challenging target golf. I'd play it again.

Fun course to play

I've played this course a couple of times now and have really enjoyed it each time. This last round, I found the fairways and the greens to be a little beat up. Overall, the course is fun, challenging and reasonably priced.

Antioch Golf Wetness

If you enjoy playing through the sprinklers in the front half go for it. That must be why they have discounted prices!

Cold and Windy but fun

What can you expect on December 27 in Northern Illinois? Golf is a bonus at this time of year. Course was in great shape. Hope to get a few more rounds in before Spring.

Ridiculous

No excuse for the awful pace of play, except for greed. They had two outings going on at the same time and still accepted my online tee time, which was non-refundable. It took over 5 hours to play the round. If you plan on playing Antioch, make sure you have nowhere to be for the rest of the day. No rangers at all, so you have a twosome in back of a twosome in back...you get the point. Buyer beware!

Reasonable Nice Course

NIce Course. Staff is friendly. But the course lay out is a little complicated for 1st time golfer to go for one hole to another (for certain holes). Will be helpful to have bigger signs for direction. Also the marking for distance from fairway to green can be improved to help the golfers. and speed up the game as well. It takes time to figure out the distance to green at time since the distance markers are not available, not clear or hard to find. Otherwise, I enjoy playing on this course.
