Worse course I played this year!
As soon as we arrived and checked in the club house. The lady was not pleasant at all. After putting her attitude aside we wanted to enjoy the course but it was in horrible condition. We couldn’t tell the fairway from the rough.
Very dysfunctional. Had a 6 am t-time and there were six people playing ahead of us with no guidance from the staff. If anyone can start whenever they want, why schedule time slots??
avoid this course this year
This course is in absolutely terrible shape. The rough was incredibly long and unplayable at times. The fairways looked more like rough. Some of the greens were way too small as well. It's a shame because the layout is actually very good, and the course has a lot of potential.Look elsewhere to play, as I will certainly not be back here.
Wet Nightmare
Course is in terrible condition. My wife and I have played many times in the past and knew not to expect too much, but right now they should not be letting golfers out. Holes 2,3,4 are unplayable and we had to skip (course rule, no one can play these holes). Paid for 18 holes but only got to play 15. Pro shop did not even inform us that we were supposed to skip those holes, had to read a little sign. Please save your money! Do not play!
Overpriced, overgrown, and underwater
not much good to say here. course was covered in standing water, grass was extremely long, zero cart paths, and extremely expensive carts. Round was way overpriced. will not return. considering asking for a refund.
Course should've not opened...
Well, it was a disappointing experience here today. We arrived at 5:45AM for our 6AM tee time and were the first ones out on the course. Chicago did get hit late last night with a storm that should've probably shut a course like this down.
Unfortunately, no grounds-crew walked or drove the course to inspect it's condition and it was HORRIBLE.
Uncut fairways, no markers on the tee boxes, and massive lakes in the fairways that even with a great drive or iron shot you couldn't locate the ball OR get it because it was sitting under 4" of water that was 20ft in diameter
After about 4 holes we called it and informed the staff we would like a refund because this was not something we would say is playable conditions. They should've let the course dry out for the morning and only had afternoon tee times maybe.
I will eventually give this course another shot when the weather leading up to the round is a bit better but today's experience was a bummer.
By the way, I have played plenty of other Billy Casper Managed courses here in Chicago and never had a similar experience. Hopefully this was just a fluke.
Weather permitting
With the weather as bad as it’s been, it’s easy to see why it’s been hard to keep up the course. People with the bad reviews aren’t taking that into consideration.
Pathetic Course
This is the worst course I’ve ever played. Just stay home if given the option to play here or not at all. Much better courses around for the same money.
Nice course. Only issues I had were the rough being a little too long and a lot of leaves making it very difficult to locate your ball.
Potential
This course is showing lots of potential. Greens are small but great. Fairway needs some improvement, need to clear leaves. Hard to locate your ball when its not in the fairway.
Keep up the good work Reggie.
Thank you for your kind words and review. We are working hard to ensure that our course conditions provide for an enjoyable, yet challenging round. We hope to see you back again soon!

Reggie in pro shop is awesome
My wife and I played a quick 9 here. Our first time there. Nice enough course. Green are small and fast. Talked with Reggie after our round and he seems to be righting the ship. Good man! Hope to play again soon.
Thanks for your review, Raymond! Reggie is a great employee and we are so glad that you think so too! Hope to see you back again soon.
Thanks for your 4 star review and feedback. At times, rain and weather can make it challenging for us to mow the rough. While it's not our intention to make it play overly difficult, we sometimes need to make the decision not to cut it in order to not risk damaging our equipment or the grass itself. We appreciate your patience as we work through that. Thank you.
