Settler's Hill Golf Course

I have played this course multiple times and have never waited as long as I did for each hole. Way too many people. Pace was terrible, no field rangers to be found. Took us 4 hours to complete just 9 holes. Terrible!

Course was in terrible shape. Rough was loaded with weeds and plots of grass.

Greens were just ok nothing special.

General course conditions were pitiful. Played this course many times in the past years was always decent. Paid $47 on TeeTime certainly not worth the money.

I know it was closed for years then renovated , but greens appear diseased and not worth the cost . If they got the greens in better shape I would def play more

The pace of play was slow! The course was not in good shape. Played there many times before and was much better. No signage on how to get to first hole and half way house was closed.

Someone here took over that lost touch of reality.

1. The course is not walkable. The first tee is a mile away from the clubhouse. How dare you make people think it is.

2. Unless you’ve found a way to miraculously change your concrete grounds. The fee with cart is a crazy ask. The tee boxes are beat. Greens are equal or less to villa Olivia .

Course layout is fun and what’s had me back. But at these prices Mill Creek is a much better value.

Course condition is sad. Barren spit all over. Fee not even close to be worth it. It's sad because a few years back it was not near as bad and it is okay layout.

Considering it’s mid May, this course is already beat up and in rough shape. I think I broke three teas just trying to push them into the tea box with conditions like this. I won’t play it again this year. That’s for sure.

This is a nice challenging course, plenty of different types of fairways. Course is slowly coming around after lots of work by the staff. Pace of play was a non issue, carts are newer and staff is very friendly. Decent value for the price and t-time availability

I haven’t played this course in several years. First of all the staff was great. The rangers were by a couple of times to see if we needed anything. The course itself was pretty bad. A couple of the fairways had little or no grass and the greens were pretty beat up. There are so many other courses to play. The playing conditions need major help.

I was very disappointed in seeing that the new layout took away some of the best holes on the back nine not to mention the condition of the course was lackluster poor all left up to a park district that didn’t care about the course for $75 You can definitely find other places to play that are much better

Pros

Staff was friendly.

Course has a ton of potential, nice layout

Has driving range and 2 warm up areas

Cons:

The entire course is rock hard- bounces go anywhere and far, some tee boxes difficult to get a tee in the ground.

A lot of bare spots, and overall not very good grass conditions

Driving range is usually open but not always

Pace of play was about 5 hours on a Saturday

They ran out of carts so you had to wait

Booked on golf now for $46, they changed prices to $61 and wouldn’t accept my booked rate. Fairways are ok, the rough on most holes barely have grass, tons of dirt patches everywhere, greens have pitch marks and dead spots everywhere. Not worth the money, every public course within 15 miles is cheaper and better quality.
