Friendly staff

Poor signage in multiple locations

Be careful playing here, several holes are lined up next to each other, making it common for other groups to be hitting in your fairway.

Valley Ridge…

Beautiful scenery and challenging holes. Course could use a good watering. Tee boxes hard! Hammer in tees. We are in a drought-worth mentioning. No cart person (concessions) on course. And no starter nor ranger/s/.

Noted single sand doubles playing. Yet overall pace of play wasn’t bad! Definitely wil play again!👍

Hole locations

One way to improve the experience would be to put a map of how to get to the next hole on the score card. Especially #17.

Had a great time. Beautiful area.

Valley Ridge Golf Course, Antioch, IL

Course has a strange layout located in a subdivision with cart paths going thru different neighborhoods and crossing streets to tee off, weird.

Not worth your money

Several issues make me not want to come back. Paid for the 18 cart rate in advance but was told it was walking only the day of play and wasn't offered a partial refund. The tee boxes had no markings for where they actually were and signs had very stale yardages (hole 9 said 157, GPS said 197. Tried splitting the difference and obviously came up short). Fairway was not cut much better than the rough and overall the course was a swamp with many fairways having standing water. Even if I had the opportunity to use a cart it wouldn't have been worth nearly $40.

Enjoyable winter golf

Very much enjoyed the experience. The course was in great shape for the month of January. Greens were soft in spots but overall rolled well. Glad the course was open on a surprisingly warm day.
