Settler's Hill Golf Course

This is my favorite course o play in the area.It has hills,elevation,water that will test your skills. The greens are a challenge. Hole number 11is one of the best in Chicagoland. Enjoy

The course is widely laid out.

The course had no reservations for us thru Golfnow.com. In fact it was reserved by other 2 people

Who happen to not show up. That’s how we got it and had to pay cash. Go lo now should return our money.

My partner got ill midway and attendant at golf course with cart would not help to take his bag to car. Nor offered any other kind of help , just took off.

No restrooms, no water bubbler on such a huge course.

Settlers Hill is a Tough , fun course to play. Hills, creeks and long Grasss along the edges make this different then any course around. The green angular layout makes a 2 putt good. The 11th hole is one of the best I have ever played. I’ve played here many times. Come and play here.

Hadn't played this course in many years and totally enjoyed the round. Moderate difficulty, good coarse conditions, and nice weather made for a great afternoon at a very reasonable cost (Golf Now Hot Deal).

An interesting layout. Pace of play an issue as we landed up with three groups on the same hole with no marshal in sight.

I want this course to be a good experience, but it just never is! The greens were so soft that a pitch shot would make a ball mark on the greens. Therefore, greens were just full of marks and imperfections that made putting very difficult. The pace of play was again just terrible. It usually starts on #11 and it never gets better. That was again the case yesterday. We waited every shot on holes #11 through 18. It ruins the experience. One tee box (#12) was soppy wet, I guess from a sprinkler being left on, we played in the afternoon with no rain the prior day.

Course was in fair shape. Some rough was very long and some around the greens were really bad 6 plus inches high. Cart paths had very rough spots and in some places were non existant. Direction between holes had no signs and was not intuitive. Lost time looking for next hole twice because of no direction. Didn't even identify cart return all could use easy improvement.

Beveraage Cart attendant was friendly and came aroung regular. Fairways were mostly good and greens were fair. Nobody was fixing ball marks ahead of us.

Refer to my 6/24/18 review for other comments. Pace of play today amazingly was not an issue....on the Labor Day holiday no less....finished in slightly over 4 hours. My comments that follow probably answer why pace was so good. Greens are ridiculously over watered (spike marks/ball marks/scuffs everywhere) and with the new flag in rule at least 1/2 the cups were damaged. Cups obviously hadn't been moved since previous day. So bad we were laughing by back nine. Crap shoot and a mine field of imprinted spikes marks from 3 feet?? Weather has been wonderful last few weeks and other courses played greens are just wonderful. Settler's has a pretty routing but golfers don't take care of the place - huge divots everywhere the list goes on. How about getting some divot mix on the carts? Course continues to go downhill over the last couple of years. Sand traps are not maintained at all. Just throw your ball out of them. The cart I got in was a sloppy uncleaned mess from previous players and they still don't have drinking water out on course. At least 6 flags placed on top of mounds/ridges and/or "tucked" into a side of green it wasn't pleasant. I like challenges/design the course provides and will reluctantly recommend....however it's not worth over $30....at any time. Beverages are ridiculously overpriced as well for the caliber of course. Practice putting green is stupid and they should at least consider building a new one representative of the course greens.

Course layout is solid, with all the elevation changes it makes for a fun round. Unfortunately the course conditions are awful. They cut the grass.....and that's about it. Some of the damage isn't there fault, but it's far below average compared to other local courses. Staff has always been nice, but the bar/pro shop area is very limited. Overall, I'll play here again when I find a deal.

In addition to the fairways being in pretty rough shape, many of the greens had excessive ball marks (I’m positive golfers understand how bad form it is to not repair theirs), and the goose litter was disgusting and everywhere, especially #18.

It’s too bad really because it could be a great course. Just not worth the yuck factor considering all the wonderful courses around town.

Five hours to play 18 holes of golf is just too long .
