Excellence Public course
Played here for the first time, by far, the well taken care of facility, even the locker rooms, gives you the sense of private club. An enjoyable course, and challenging with many long bunkers and water, back 9 holes situated on the other sides of Halfday rd, beautiful natural settings and birds. Didn't try their food, didn't see any food carts around either! Will def. be back.
Driver optional
Tight course with water coming into play on many holes. Accuracy off the tee is more important than length here. Greens were a bit bumpy, mainly caused by unattended ball marks, otherwise fairways and tee boxes were in good shape.
Good Option in NW Burbs
Good course for the money. The course is well maintained with quality fairways and greens. A little short with the tips playing in the 6500 range, but overall it's a fair and somewhat forgiving course. Average difficulty with water on a few holes and a nice mix of hazards. For some reason I ended up in the sand a bunch, even though there didn't seem to be more sand then on other courses. I had a fun round and will come back in the future.
Great Course
This course was in great shape and was a great deal. The course is more target golf on some holes as you do not see most trouble from the tee. We played on a Friday afternoon (beautiful weather) so the pace of play was very bad.
Best course I've ever played
I could not believe how nice of a course it was. I only paid 40 bucks for the round and I thought I got my money's worth just from the first hole. Beautiful course highly recommend
Twilight
Always a fun course. Greens are very challenging dollars
Great value
Grabbed a deal $27 per person. Cart included.
Excellent deal for a great course. It depends on the golfers but I thought the pace was little bit fast. But overall, it is a great and fun course.
Tight layout, somewhat target golf
the design of this course includes several holes which require 3 wood tee shots because of the length of the hole or the narrowness of the fairway. The greens are excellent with medium contour and multiple design shapes. About half of the holes require target tee shots though and if that is to your liking, you will enjoy this course.
Great value for a nice golf course
Course was in very nice condition throughout. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Tight but very fair front nine. The back felt as if we were on vacation and has some very nice views. Traps were in good shape and greens ran true. Best value in the area for this type of course.
Great golf course
I was very impressed with this course. When I pulled into the parking lot there was someone there to unload my bag from my car and put into my golf cart. It was a very nice introduction to a very nice day' of golf at this course. I also enjoyed the course design and condition. Overall, a very nice experience.
wizard
course was moderately challenging and fun. $29 rate for green fees and cart is hard to beat. will be back .
This course kicked my butt!
What a great course. I have to go to try to get even.
Surprisingly Good! Excellent value
This course was great but the pace was not good we were all waiting on the tee boxes all day. It had nothing to do with the play in front of us. Really enjoyable game though. We got paired up with a couple of great guys and we all enjoyed ourselves. I will definitely go again if the price is right. I don't enjoy waiting on every tee, by the time we played the back nine I was bored, tired and game went bad. Greens are super fast and small.
Excellent "target" course
The Arboretum is an excellent course. The holes are varied and challenging. The facilities are quite impressive.
Layout is challenging
I've played Arboretum a few times before the last couple years and did not really like the course. Thought it was unfair on many holes. However, today under great conditions, I changed my mind. Despite all the rain we have had, the course was actually very dry. Plush and green, but dry. Fairways in great shape. Greens are in great shape and running true at medium to fast. Still a challenging layout, but seemed more fair than in the past for some reason.
Extremely slow pace
We liked the course and the layout. The greens were in good shape. We would probably like playing this course on a regular basis but-------The pace was extremely slow. They need a ranger on the course to pick up the pace. We would have liked to play this course again and again but will not due to the pace of play.
Great Course - Outstanding but slow play
This is a great course in perfect shape. Unfortunately it is very slow play. We talked to different golfers as we all waited at numerous tees and they said that it was typical. A ranger is needed to move the foursomes along. If they could improve the pace of play this would be my number 1 course.
Short & Beautiful
I really enjoyed playing this course. It plays fairly short but still has a nice mix of holes. Just because there isn't a lot of distance doesn't mean you can just bomb it-- there's a fair amount of trouble if you get too wild. The back nine was especially nice. This isn't a course that is going to blow you away, but it's a great value and was in great condition.
Target Course
I knew ahead of time, by looking at the course scorecard online, that there was a lot of water. I was very thankful that the course provided for free a great yardage sheet that showed yardages from all tees to the end of the fairway - start of the water. Because it is such a target course you should expect the round to last over 4 hrs. on a nice day. We played in 4:45 and it wasn't painfully slow, but you do have to wait for people searching for balls.
I would like to see a "senior" tee available. The red tees are 4900 and the whites are 6000+. It would be nice to have something in the middle of those two.
Overall, nice course, good shape, greens putt very well. Just make sure you take that yardage guide with you!
Fantastic
Always heard great things about the scores, finally played. Course is in great shape, greens are true for this early in the season, looking forward to being back. I would've paid a lot more than I did, great day.
