Vernon Hills Golf Course

Had a 6:10 tee time, trying to get 9 holes in before sundown. There was a group of 2 older ladies and one gentleman. Took them about 15-20 min a hole. They were never waiting due to a group in front of them. Every time they hit, they’d spend 5-7 minutes looking for the ball. I’m not a good golfer by any stretch of the imagination, so if I’m double and triple bogeying every hole and I’m still on your heels, you’re playing too slow lol. Someone did come out and tell them to pick up the pace, but they still played the same speed.

Can’t beat the price! Staff are some of the nicest around.

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.

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.

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

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.
