Valley Ridge Golf Course

The course has declined along with the pricing- which is appropriate. After playing the course back when Ken and/or Vince were the pros, it was more expensive, but also much better maintained. I'm not sure which one came first, but it used to be worth the poor layout of teeing off just steps from peoples back door and playing through their yards because it was in great shape. Now that the quality has fallen off, it's priced right at $28 for a weekend round on GolfNow. Bunker edges should not be heavily weeded, sand should resemble sand- not rocky concrete, many greens were shot and under repair, etc... Cart paths used to be nice gravel, now it looks like they chunked up a street and left the mini boulders for mass. If in the area, pay the extra few dollars and go to Fox Lake or Chapel Hill (which is in better shape even though they filed for bankruptcy years ago!).

A very interesting course, my second 18-hole course, at a really great price with the golfnow.com Hot Deal.

A couple of very challenging holes, the greens and fairways were in fair shape.

Good pace of play, Ranger was present on the course. Great Staff. Great Value ($28)

paid 19 for 18 holes with a cart. cant really compleain

The front nine is pretty vanilla with some longer holes but the back nine can be tricky with many placement shots needed. This is not the longest course but is fun to play.

A nice lil getaway for those of us who live on the north side of the city. Great value. Course is in a neighborhood but the houses rarely come into play.

tee boxes could use a lot of work. greens were true. fairways in good shape. rough could be cut. was a good value for tne money. I enjoy playing this course.

Decent course good for working on your game. Par 5's are more challenging than a lot of courses

I arrived 1/2 hour before my tee time with my daughter. I was advised that a league was currently playing so we would start on hole #10. I no sooner got into my cart, drove us to the tee, set my GPS, and placed my ball when a league member pulls up demanding the tee, questioning my pace of play and generally being rude. This in front of my daughter. We moved ahead to the 12th to get away from these people as they forgot the etiquette of the game all together. The course was in abhorrent condition and was not worthy of even the $23 fee. When I returned to the clubhouse after finishing our round the staff was aware of the situation. The pro, if you want to call him that (not registered with the IL PGA after a phone call), was less than unapologetic. We then decided to get a couple of hot dogs then leave to never return. The hot dogs were frozen on the inside! Overall terrible experience. I would highly recommend anyone avoid this course no matter how awesome the deal seems.

Only took over 5 hrs. Because it was Father's Day. Have played course before in under 4hrs. Nice course maintained well

7-8 Minute Tee Time intervals is a joke. Public couse on a Sunday needs at least 10 Min. intervals. Range ball $3 a bucket to hit in to a net? Course way to crowed with no ranger on the course, only a starter. Booded same tee times.

recycled black top for cart path, ugly and rough.
ok course for $23.00. not $30.00.

This course was very narrow and overall short. If you don't control your driver, your best bet is to hit your wedges. The rough is long and thick and you will hopefully find more balls than you lose. Holes are very close together and you will spend a lot of time driving into subdivisions to the next hole, which I found cool. Greens are very nice and the course is worth the money.

Price was great, condition was good. The guys had a great time what else can you ask for !!!

I has a great mix of holes. Some very challenging and some pretty easy. Just what you want! I played with my Dad (a senior) and he really enjoyed it. Too many of the courses are just too much for my Dad (length). The greens were improved by 100% over last year.

It was a great deal. You really get your moneys worth. This may become my home course. The staff was really friendly.

Cool track. Some narrow holes as it plays through surrounding neighborhoods. 16 is a strange hole if you don't drive up to see what's going on with it. Don't get me wrong, there are some good holes with some interesting set-ups. Going to try and hit it next year during the summer. (would have saved two lost balls under the leaves)

Where else can you play for $15, $20 or $25 anyday of the week. Relatively short course in yardage with the exception of a few holes that are very challenging. Most of the greens were in great condition but the tee boxes are in need of some renovation. Looks like ther sand traps were finally raked but need some filler to make them stand out. I've played this course for years and have a 12 handicap, please put some money into it or sell off because my patronage is only for the price!!!

Enjoyed layout. Drought conditions impacted play. Bunkers need work. Would play again.
