Vernon Hills Golf Course

Challenging nine hole course! The clubhouse in the starter were very friendly even though I was 10 minutes late. Challenging greens with water hazards. Definitely a step up from other typical nine hole course.

For a 9 hole corse, VH was pretty basic. The course challenges you by having tiny greens.

The fairways are pretty straight forward and not much to them.

Yardage was not clearly marked and the tee boxes were pretty chewed up.

The nice thing is it is not a par 3 nine hole course. There is an opportunity to drive the ball.

Over all it was a fair course not the best not the worst, but I probably won’t ply here again for the price.

$20 green

$10 cart.

Very, very nice course to play for a 70+ yr old player like myself. The trick here is to stay away from the traps!! The creek water crossings can be challenging to your second shot. The only negative for my round was the inattentive care of the greens by foursomes playing in front of me. Soft cleat scuff marks and lack of ball mark repair was prevalent on most every green. I will often be back to play this challenging course!!!

I’ve played Vernon Hills a number of times but today featured the slowest play yet. There was no one there to move people along. With rain approaching we wanted to finish before getting soaked. We were lucky to have escaped the rain. I know it sounds petty but when a two-some and a single are in front of you the pace should be better.

Tees, greens, fairways, traps were in excellent condition for mid April and following some rainy days. Meandering creek was challenging but never flooded. It far exceeded my expectations for a 9 hole municipal course.
