Tee Box
My first time playing this course, I had read some of the review before going. Some of the reviews complaints had merit. Lots of geese thou I particularly don't mind. The course has been undergoing a new maintenance program, sand in the bunkers is needed along with rakes. It was an enjoyable course, the pace was great and everyone was friendly, but there was one Tee Box which need a great deal of improvement it is in terrible shape. Other than that, the course is in good condition.
Regular golfer
The staff here is amazing. The course provides you with various challenges to improve your game. When the grill is on, this is the place you want to be!!!
Course was in good shape
Course was in good shape, pace was excellent. Had a fun time. Only negative was the amount of goose poop, especially on the 8th fairway. There are metal cutouts of dogs/wolfs that you put in the ground to help keep the geese at bay. You really should consider installing? We play this course 2-3 times a year and there is always a lot of goose poop.💩
The Ranger
The staff is top tier. Food at the turn is great too.
Greens rolling pure, greens are in amazing shape. Entire course in great shape.
A delightful Forest Preserve course
First time playing here though I played only the front nine - it was a great experience. The checkin process was very simple and easy. The pace of play was very good - I finished the nine in less than 2 hours in spite of being held up by a slow single initially. The course was in excellent shape - fairways were well defined from the rough, very challenging greens that were often well protected by bunkers, plenty of water to enforce precise and strategic shot making. But many tee boxes seem worn down offering no clean place to tee up. And the fairways often ran a lot - you got extra distance with the roll but it made the shot unpredictable because of the extra roll (I had instances of shots going through the fairways into the rough ). But, overall, this is a course I will come back to play - hopefully the full 18. It is a good value and a very nice place to get in a good round - one that asks to use all the clubs in the bag, at least for me.
