Good golf day. 8 am tee time friendly staff. Greens and fairway in good condition but sand traps need to be filled with sand more mud than sand for sure the only issue at this course. Pace of play on weekends not for beginners everyone seems to pass those guys up recommend weekdays for beginners
Walked all 18 holes. Nice course with fast greens.
Good course, minimal frills, welcoming staff
I like the course layout. There are a good mix of short, long, easy, and challenging holes. Water/ creeks/ ponds frequently come into play. There are good amount of sand traps as well, but they were not well maintained. The greens had recently been aerated, but still played relatively smooth and had no bare spots. Some of the tee boxes were pretty small, but were we'll maintained and mostly flat. A couple of fairways we soggy, especially on 2 & 11 and, but overall they were in decent shape. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. No breakfast options when we started, but at the turn they were grilling burger and dogs outside for sale, which was nice. No full bar, but they had beers and mini airplane bottle of liquor for sale. Drink cart went buy us 2-3 times during our 18. Overall, it was a nice outing and I plan to go back. Good value for your money.
Bad experience
We played at 12:30. On our round was a guy with his kid, so we ended playing 5 and no one controlled it.
When we end the front nine they told us that the back 9 were closed due to the darkness and asked us to play the front 9 again. We left the course and probably won’t return again.
Great course to play for the average player. For February course is in great shape for this time of year.
Should be amazing but it’s really good.
I learned how to play at this course. This is one of the more challenging courses around because there is so many water hazards and it’s very narrow. This course shaped my game to be an accurate hitter instead of the longest hitter. The course is beautiful with all the water especially on the middle of the course it’s very picturesque. The greens are sloped but are a good size. The course isn’t very long so if you can remain penalty free you can post a good score here. The sand traps are deplorable though and it kind of makes me sick tbh for what is kind of my home course. When I travel to other forest preserve or TROON management courses it’s not like that.
Great Team
Lester, Nicole, Mac, great people, very customer oriented.
Only issue here is heavy rains will soak the course.
Don’t go
Didn’t tee off till 45 minutes after our time. Didn’t get carts. Greens are sand. Bunkers are clay. Nothing nice or special about this course. Would avoid at all costs
