Waiting, Waiting, Waiting
The Course was too crowded, not enough carts. The carts are in bad shape. Fairways were not manicured. Had to search numerous times for balls in fairway under the tall grass.
Would not recommend
Although the staff was very friendly and a beautiful day for golfing, the course itself, organization of personnel and amenities are to be desired. Tee'd off 20 min past scheduled time and after first hole requested to wait for a 4-some to pass us as they were coming through and complained. The carts were extremely slow and could barely make any small inclines. Saw the beer cart once throughout entire 18 holes. Conditions of course were fair, at best and not clean. Overall experience was one of which we would not go back, regardless of the staff being nice and engaging.
great course to play
the fairways always kept in good condition...a few greens had spike marks but all in all a great 18 holes
Good value, water everywhere to make course challenging
Hard to beat the price for 18 holes with a cart. fairways could be a little nicer but it is a forest preserve course near the end of the season.
Great overall course for value.
Carts are older and could be upgraded. Bunkers could use some work, including adding sand instead of dirt.
Bad fairways
Greens are great. Staff was very friendly. The fairplays and cart path is horrific.
Course needs work
Course needs attention not a good value for the conditions. The course could benefit from having a ranger.
Great Course for the Price
Great Course for the Price. Gets packed at times and pace might be held up on weekends, but if you're playing at your leisure it is fantastic. Staff is extremely nice and welcoming.
For the price it was okay to play.
We had to wait for carts. Teed off 15 minutes late. Played behind a fivesome. Greens were bumpy and not rolling well.
Challenging course for $30.
Pace of play was awful. 2some on front 9, 3some on back9 was holding us up. No reason to be playing so slow, dropping 3-4 balls etc. No ranger, so nobody to tell them to move along. Greens had been recently aerated (not sure why they waited until may to do this but whatever) so that was kind of tricky. Overall, you get what you pay for. For $32 this is a good place to play. A dime more than that and I'd feel like I'm getting ripped off. Its challenging enough for a low handicapper, but scoreable enough so a high handicapper doesn't feel like he's getting slapped in the face every hole. I would come back, but would never pay full price.
This course is great for accurate golfers
The par fives are great for accurate hitters, sand traps need better maintanace, rough is high/thick easy to lose your ball even if you know where it should be. The greens were airrated and sanded, useually in pretty good condition.
