find someplace else

First we had to clean out the garbage from the golf cart.
We then had to start on the back nine. Five of nine holes had serious standing water even though it hadn't rained for 3 days.
We started on the back because, even though the course is closed on Mondays the decided to have their tree trimming service run their chipper and forklifts allover the course on Friday
By the 3rd hole we caught up with 3 eighty year old guys who would not let us play thru. At the turn we asked for someone to talk to them.
We were told, Sorry no starters or rangers today.
Finally we skipped a hole to go around them.
Fairways had grass clumps all over
Would not waste my time or money to play it again

Requires Serious Manicure

I love the game of golf. I have never referred to a golf course as a cow pasture. There is a first for everything. This course needs serious manicure. I wonder if their lawn mowers are in the shop. The grass was unbearable. The condition was a terrible. I will not be going back.

Serious waste of time and money

The fairways are more like the rough. The bunkers are pretty much a mix of concrete and clay. The greens are terrible. With all of the holes, good luck keeping the ball on a straight line.

For $30, you could do A LOT better. If this course was $5, I still wouldn't go back!

This County course is in good shape. A bit of uncut grass in rough was present.

The Rough is too rough

Not the best course for the high to average handicap player. The rough off the fairways is much too long. Missing the fairways and/or greens results in a ball search. Additionally, most if not all of the fairway sand traps, as well as, the green side bunkers have been filled with planted grass.

Playing this course in this current condition will not be a rewarding expierience for most.

unimpressed

Once I saw the golf course I became uninterested. It was a $15.00 to $20.00 course with nothing spectacular to talk about to me.

Close to the city, good to get a last minute round in

This course is about 30 minutes south of Chicago. It is a simple design that's in fair to below average condition. The greens are tiny which definitely adds to the difficulty of the course. This is a good place to sneak in 18 if you are booking a tee time last minute, but if you are looking for a good track, this is not your place.

Not maintained

Cheap rates make it worth while for the casual golfer. The course has a lot of full grown cotton wood trees that make it very scenic, however, it is not maintained well at all. There was a lot of grass clippings every where and bare spots. The sand traps are just dirt. With all this being said it was still enjoyable, you get what you pay for.
