Orchard Valley Golf Course

One of the better courses I’ve played in the area. Layout was not simple and required thought out shots

First time playing here. The greens were in great shape with decent speeds. Bunkers were amazing taken care of. Unfortunately I had to play out them twice. Will definitely play here again on our next trip to Chicago area.

Played Orchard Valley for the first time since it reopened.

I really like the changes that were made. The greens were fast and rolled smooth. Fairways were overall great some wet spots as we have been getting a lot of rain. Some of the rough still need to fill in some there is some bare spots but nothing to worry about.

They have added bunkers on some holes and taken some out, The one thing I am not sure why they did this is surround the traps with long thick grass. This will slow play if your ball finds it and probably tough to get out of. Right now the sand is nice and soft easy to get out of.

Now the the only negative price. $60.00 for a senior is a fair price even $80.00 during the week not to bad, but to ask $110.00 for Friday, Saturday, Sunday is way out of line.

Been waiting a long time to get back out there all of the changes that were made were perfect. Can’t wait to get out there again really enjoyed.It…

The remodel was worth the wait! Staff was very friendly. Food at restaurant was great. Greens were beautiful!

The improvement to the court itself were well

done. Fairways are still growing back in so there were some rough areas. Looking forward to get back as the improvements mature

Pro shop, outdoors seating and clubhouse improvement's are great.

Definitely recommended

Okay, hear me out. I love the layout of this course and the stretch of holes 15-18 to close out the round are among the best sequence of finishing holes in the area. Here is the problem; this course was closed for two years to be renovated, and the improvements to the course were very few and nothing special. Teeboxes were repaired, greens were improved slightly, bunkers were improved(but have weird long grass around every bunker, clearly a choice), and they renovated the club house. I can guarantee you that most of the money went to the clubhouse, and more money and time should have gone to the course. They close the course for 2 years and there are still mud patches near the drains, and really dry fairways and dry brown grass everywhere. I was there the day after it opened again and it felt like people had been playing it for the last two years. If they are going to charge people $110 to play at 1:30 on a weekend, the course has to be better than that. I was hoping to enjoy the course a bit more, but was absolutely disappointed. It’s a fine course, but don’t get your hopes to high. The hope will kill you.

I’ve always liked Orchard Valley as a golf course, with a renovation that seems all they did was redo the greens so they now roll probably close to a 10, but nothing else changed. They redid many of the tea boxes and the grass around and it’s very pleasant to look at, but the grass everywhere else is the same, if not even drier than before.

Slow foursomes in front of us

Backed up play at twilight

Still shaking my head

Even saying something to them

Play thru, move over, go home, quit, get physical which would have been preferred, or try lesser course to practice. Hey I get it. Great exercise. We were all there at one time, but come on

Outside that lol, gorgeous course gorgeous day

Looking forward to see renovations.

Located west of Chicago, just south of I-88. Because of its location it’s usually crowded . Plenty of challenge but slow play can reduce visits. Still we will go back once we forget because it’s fun.

Great price for a 1pm tee time. Course was in great condition for time of year. First time playing this course and was impressed. Going to get this course in the rotation. Had food and drinks after. Waitress was friendly and food was good.

Group of 5 and a group of 6 Dekalb highschoolers on a Sunday afternoon. No rangers to be seen. Pro shop seemed like they could care less.
