Nice course

I’ve played this course several times over the years.

The amenities are modest, the practice range and putting greens are just ok, but the fairways and greens are always in great shape. I always enjoy my time on this course.

Best Value Course

Good price. The grass was tall. Rough was very heavy. Lots of leaves on the ground. But overall good course. Clubhouse had drinks and golf essentials for sale.

Needs some work

The course was not in bad condition but a few of the greens were damaged. The biggest problem was all the leaves on the fairways and all over the greens. Losing balls because of the leaves throws your game and rhythm off. It’s sad to know that Cook County is charge of this course but has not invested in the course in comparison to other courses they manage

Good value

Burnham woods is everything you'd expect for a forest preserve course. It's definitely not the worst I've ever played. I'd say the value, more than makes up for a less manicured facility. Friendly staff and pace of play is usually not bad at all. Very large, beautiful trees line the entire place! And unless you're one to stripe every shot down the fairway. ..you might want to be sure to bring more than a couple of golf balls to this joint, as they're gonna be SURELY lost deep into the golf ball abyss.

First Impressions

Played Burnham Woods for the first time, I like the course and the friendly staff. The course need a little help as far as maintenance. Great potential! Nice layout that challenges ones game, not very long but stay straight or pay the consequences.

Never going back

Horrible conditions would be a decent course if they actually put some love and care into the course. They have Gatorade in the can huge plus
