Reviews
Course was in good shape. Having 3 9's is a really good feature.
This course was great for the money. One of the greens was in bad shape, but I will for sure play this course again.
It is what it is
Its Cardinal Creek. If you have 3 hours to sneak in a round for $20 its fine. Dont expect anything more than that
Not kept up
It was a beautiful day out and not many people were on the course, so that was very good. You'd think that with no one being on the course, that you'd be able to have a fast pace, WRONG! Finding your ball was extremely difficult due to very high grass conditions. If you were not dead in the middle of the fairway, you were spending time trying to find each and every ball. Even when it was in the middle it was difficult to find still. The sand traps were very hard and not kept up with. The price was good, but was not happy with the conditions.
Cardinal Creek - Beecher, IL
Overall the course has a nice lay out, nice club house, and friendly staff but right now the greens ( and I do mean ALL the greens ) are in tragic shape. When your ball drops down on to the greens SAND kicks up and you leave NO ball mark. Plus when you walk up they look like patio paver bricks instead of grass.
I play this course often and have never seen their greens (or any anywhere for that matter) in such unplayable shape. It was impossible to drain a putt beyond 3 feet.
Great place to play!
This is a great course. It's easy to get to, the staff is very friendly, and the course is laid out nicely for the pace of play. All three 9-hole courses are very nice, my favorites are center and south. Rates are very reasonable. Give this course a try, you won't be disappointed!
Greens
I've played this course over the years and yesterday was first round of the year and the course was in good shape the greens were quick and nice.
Great Early Season Condition
We played on the first warm day there's been for the last2-3 weeks and were very pleased with the condition of the course. They obviously have been out there working on their spring cleanup and mowing so the fairway and greens were pretty good. The staff was very helpful I think they appreciated our business. If you haven't played here consider giving them a try.
Play this course
The greens were a little shaggy but it has rained a lot the past week so i wouldn't hold that against. A nice course that deserves more patronage
Great Course
Cardinal Creek has come along way since the previous owners. New owners have brought life back to this gem in Beecher. Staff is very friendly and I would highly recommend this golf course to anyone of my friends, family, and colleagues.
Nice place to play
My threesome had a great day . The staff was nice and friendly. WE enjoyed the whole experience.
Course is a good course to work in your game.
The course is OK. Hard to tell fairways from rest of course at times. Greens tend to be small. The rough is high and often uncut.
Terrible course management
It was very wet, which they cannot help, but they had not mowed the Greens in days. It was like putting on teebox. The tees were longer than fairways. They sent me off Center and had they sent me North first, I would have not run into a league. Bad experience.
Nice day
Everything at this course was great. The pace of play (3:40) was good probably because it was very hot and the course wasn't crowded. The conditions were surprisingly good as this is the first season for this course. Greens rolled smooth and true. We totally enjoyed our day and will come back again.
Glad they re-opened
The course was in decent shape and pace of play was great! Looking forward to going back!
