Vernon Hills Golf Course

The course ranger is absolutely incompentent and rude. Rest of staff is great. Been going here for almost three years because we live down the street and every year it gets worse a little worse. They put a putting green in which is cool, it’s about time, but someone please tell the staff to ROLL the freaking course. It is BEYOND bumpy. Suggest walking because you and your clubs will bounce around all 9 holes. Also stay away from the coors light tap, they definitely don’t clean it. If you do go, go early morning or late afternoon. My old man and I usually play best ball depending on the pace and go between 10 and 2 and because of that ranger, it always takes 3-4 hours. Hard to enjoy sometimes. Cheers.

Weedy rough with clover and crabgrass. Greens in poor condition. Fairways just ok.

Would not play again.

When they are not busy, this can be one of the most fun courses in North Chicago. Two holes are outstanding. An elevated par 3 tee. And,, a sharp dogleg guarded by trees. Nice placement of running water (a creek) too. Showing wear and tare but still an excellent course.

For a 9 hole course. $45 is a steep price for and average maintained course. They even went as far as not having water stations anywhere on the course. No water fountains, jugs, etc.

Playing in 90 degree heat, no water is a cheap way the club apparently saves money.

I would have to expected better from the Kemper Brand.

Bring your own water jug!!!

Played just prior to a storm rolling in. Pace of play was good, probably because everyone out there was doing the same thing. Course was in good condition.

Nice, 9 hole course with reasonable challenge for beginning golfers.

Beware of lots of ticks around the rough

Round was good. Course was in good shape. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The only issue was that I made the reservation with a cart included but when we arrived at the course they had no carts. The course was open for walking only. We walked it anyway.
