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.
