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.
Great Day
Perfect weather. Some challenging holes and greens. Overall great day
Had a tee time for 10:40 didn’t go out until 12:40
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.
I should’ve known
Could not play the first 4 holes because the fairways were soaked rough was high loss a ball in and the other players did too greens had been
Air raided but were not in good shape

Great for beginners and practice rounds.
This is my practice course. I have the practice and play card and it advertises being able to shoot extra shots. With or without the card you can definitely do that here as it’s generally never crowded and I mean sometimes wide open. Also has a range, putting green and they used to have a separate green for chipping which is kind of unique. Staff is cool and always slide a tip if have some cash. The conditions are at the bottom of rung but it’s not so bad that’s it unplayable by any means. It used to be better 5 years ago as they HAD a stream running through it and you really had to make decisions on laying up or going for it because you’d roll in a lot. They moved the blue tee boxes up which I’m not a fan of. They also filled in all the traps with grass which I’m not against but seems like they could have kept a few. But since there are no traps it helps me work on my short game because around the green you are often on a hill on a weird angle so it made me more versatile. Some of the smallest greens but they run weird too. It’s not a go to course for my friends that aren’t from the area but a buddy of mine loves it. If you have golfers that aren’t to upscale then it’s still a good place. I love the par 5’s here and hole #10 is top tier.
#1 Worst FPG Course
Easily in the worst condition out of all the FPG courses. Greens were like shag carpet, holes were trampled/funneled which tells me they haven't been moved in ages. Tee box grass was longer than fairway should be and torn to shreds / muddy. Nearly impossible to tell what's fairway vs rough. $45 weekend rate w/ cart... wouldn't even pay $20 to golf here again. Likely won't be back! Staff was great though.
