Great value

This course is currently in great condition. It has very few sand traps and/or water hazards. However, there are lots of trees with fairly tight fairways. My only complaints are there are no course restrooms, the sprinklers were going on 3 of the tee boxes, no food at the turn other than chips, candy bars etc...Other than those things the facility is wonderful & I will be better prepared for my next round.

Tight tough short course

Top value without the crowd. Narrow fairways and postage stamp greens. Fair, fun, fast, and a good challenge through the trees.

New to Golf

New to Golf - first course I’ve played since getting my clubs. Had a great time - while not pristinely kept, the course was in great condition. Food was good and beverages were cheap. Didn’t have many behind us because it had rained earlier in day.

Staff was extremely friendly!

Waited over an hour for carts for my 4. Wasn’t too bad we got to drive and hit the putting greens nice warm up before hitting the holes. Some greens like hole 8 and 10 need to be addressed!! Putts kicking up because of high divots on greens. Some parts of greens dead. Should be cheaper to golf here one of the “less nicer” forest preserve courses. Staff was great tho. Charge 30-35 for 18 with cart is more reasonable price for green and fairway damage.

Flooded Fairways

No info from the staff that 4 holes were completely flooded in the middle of the fairways, terrible drainage. Definitely not worth $50.
