Better 9-hole courses nearby for similar price

My experience at Vernon Hills Golf Club was pretty decent. The staff was friendly and the course layout was okay, hole 7 is a really fun par 3. Course conditions were mediocre but many holes get repetitive. Water hazards were about the only challenging thing about this course. Overall there are better courses for similar, or cheaper prices nearby.

As good as a municipal 9 hole course can be.

A couple of holes you can use your driver on. Good strategically placed hazards make for some challenging par fours where iron play is rewarded.

Great time

Only issue was the amount of leaves. Also if anyone finds a black Vice ball that is mine I’ll be back for it.

Challenging in a bad way

This is a good course if you hate golf and/or yourself. Fairways are sometimes longer than the rough, some greens are so surrounded by trees there is no real approach to them, greens are somehow impossible to hold but roll slowly and are full of pock marks. In short, there are better options if you want to enjoy your round.
