Pheasant Run Resort

Dear Golf Now, I have 1 question and 1 comment.

Question: early on the 29th there was still some snow and ice on the ground. We did not play due to being unplayable. I did call the course before 8:00 AM and left a voice message at their Pro Shop advising we were not going to bother to show up. I am sure the Pro Shop employees fully understood when they listened to my voice message. In this situation does Golf Now refund the fee I paid or give me a credit?

Separately, I learned today that Pheasant Run has 18 temporary greens all about 50 years short of the normal greens. I was unaware of this when I made my reservation with Golf Now to play there on the 29th. I think it is incredulous and had I known this I would have never even considered trying to play Pheasant Run under such terrible conditions. 1 or 2 temporary greens is okay, but all 18? This is ridiculous. Just wanted you to know this. suggest you take Pheasant Run off of Golf Now until their greens are back in service. Thank you. John Dimasi

the weather was a little cool that day but we had a great time.the course was in nice shape being that it was already early November. The leaves were blown off the fairways nicely and it wasn't too difficult to find balls that made it off the fairway.

Greens are in excellent shape....surprisingly so, considering it's November in Chicagoland.

Having read about 5 hour rounds here with no ranger activity, my wife and I were reticent about a long day but easily completed our 18-hole two-ball in 3 hours. Tees and Greens were good. Fairways had just a few poor patches but generally good. We lost a couple of balls in the fallen leaves but that's Autumn golf! Don't expect to be as lucky as us - the course was only lightly loaded and this was because it was COLD and a little windy. Nevertheless - great value for money and no hassle golf.

We were very happy with the course and had a great time.

We hadn't been to Pheasant Run in many years. When we had a chance to play at a very good rate including a cart , we took the opportunity to give it a go.

The weather was perfect for a fall day.

The greens were fast and true with a good roll-out .

Even though we played through many sprinklers the fairway grass was thin and even hardpan in areas. The course shows signs of a lot of play with browning. I would call the fairways in poor condition. But the rate we paid for a weekday was terrific.

An added feature was that we heard and watched a jet fighter doing touch & goes at the adjacent airport.

This was my first time playing Pheasant Run and I was pleased with the course. It's not a typical golf course. The front 9 has 2 par 5's and 3 par 3's. Granted the par 3's are a bit longer but still a little unusual. The back 9 has 3 par 5's and 2 par 3's. The design of the course is nice. I think my favorite hole was the first hole which is a par 5 with a dogleg right. Water is a factor. Nice farways and the greens were in very good shape. The stoff was friendly and it was a very good experience. I would play here again.

Beautiful course, friendly staff. Parking near the first tee is limited, use the bag drop option, but all will soon forgotten when you see this course. Conservative play off the tee will help keep your score down, hooks and slices are punishable with trees. Holes 11 and 16 have water right in front of the green and both demand a 3 or 5 wood off the tee, a lay-up shot before the water and a wedge to the green.if your going to have a chance at par. Good Luck

It is a nice course at resort near a small airport.

Pheasant Run is actually where I play in a nine-hole league, but I lucked into a great deal on Golf Now.
The course was in fantastic condition. The rough is difficult to hit out of because it's a little long and lush from all the rain. The greens are usually incredibly fast, but were not so fast simply because they were aerorated this week and still not back to normal. This was explained when I booked my tee time, so I knew to expect it.

The greens roll nice. You can tell they squeezed this course in on a smaller property but an overall nice resort course.

Started our round at 10:40, looked like it might rain so wasn't really busy at first but got busy. The people playing behind us had no golf edicate at all - they were hitting into us and teeing off well before they should have. Another pair hit into our fairway drove their cart right across in front of us and instead of picking their ball up, since we were right there, they just kept playing. On top of it one didn't like his shot so he dropped another ball and hit again. It was like a free for all out there. The marshal was NOWHERE TO BE FOUND all round. Its a joke - for the money you can golf somewhere else.

My third week in a row playing here. Nice course, short, but narrow, requires some accuracy and shot-making, which I like. Other than dodging the watering of the fairways, a very enjoyable time. Paired with 3 others, but play moved along without too much waiting. Had a yardage book, but too little info to really help.

STAY AWAY, course in in bad shape. A terrible value!

1st time playing at this course and I must say that its an excellent course but a little challenging with all the trees. very satisfied with the course!!!!

The holes are relatively close at several spots on the course and we had to be aware of errant shots. Greens were in good condition as were traps. Fairways were also good. We booked on GolfNow and thought the golf was good value for the money.

Very enjoyable round of golf. The Course has some great scoring holes as well and some strategic par 4s that make you think about the tee shot. I would deff. Reccomend this course and will be back to play again.

A few holes have the trees all lined up and it is quite a site

Course conditions are great. Jamie and the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a pleasurable experience. Give Pheasant Run a try you won't be disappointed.

We elected to play Pheasant Run as a change of pace, drove 40 minutes to enjoy it. It was a bit more challenging than I remembered, however, good course to test your irons and putter. Greens were excellent and fairly fast. Course was in great shape, staff was excellent, extremely friendly.
