Vernon Hills Golf Course

Course was in good shape. Played in just over 2 hours with a foursome.

Vernon Hills Golf Course is a bit pricey for what it offers. It offers a standard lay out with a few decisions to make off the tee with water in play on at least 5 drives. I played with a friend before heading over to Conway Farms for the BMW. It was a convenient location in relation to Conway Farms. (Just 4-5 miles west)

The course was in good shape. Perhaps the thing that has me not to crazy about returning would be the guy in the pro-shop when we arrived. First off, he was extremely rude and he didn't inform us about the girls high school competition teeing off 2-hours after our tee time until we were on the 5th green with about 50-minutes to spare. We weren't too concerned about getting the round in but the way he presented himself was very rude and not inviting. That being said, maybe he was having a bad day, but I won't be returning there to play golf anytime soon.

This could really be an interesting and challenging 9 holer. Traditional muni nature of the layout with tight tree-lined fairways, creeks, ponds, bridges, and fairway bunkers lend a quality of character to this venue. But there are weeds everywhere! They're green, but they're ugly and the fairway landing areas should all be labeled "ground under repair". Only saving feature--the greens, which, though small, are fast, undulating, and tricky, but fair.

NICE COURSE ACTUALLY TOOK SOME PICTURES OF A HAWK THAT WAS SITTING NEXT TO THE FIRST HOLE; IT WAS CHALLENGING ENOUGH FOR AN INTERMEDIATE PLAYER

If you are lucky enough you can get through the 9 in less than two hours. The course is kept somewhat well, but its far from a pretty sight (you are not one with nature here). It's also really loud, its right next to a train station that is frequent from 3-7pm. Weigh your options wisely before playing here... but if you want a easy and potentially quick, casual, cheap nine; look no further.

Course has a creek that runs through several holes which always seems to be exactly where your going to hit. Fairways are somewhat narrow which makes it challenging. Great par 3 hole you walk up stairs to the top of a hill to tee off with water between tee and green. Can't wait to play it again! Also club house has great food.

7 of 9 holes have a water hazard. Bring a ball retriever and have fun! Very nice layout.

Good 9 hole course, not too crowded, staff is friendly.

Easy 9 hole course, great price well maintained. Love this course.

This 9 hole muni course seems innocuous enough. It's simple, tucked away in a corner of Vernon Hills, inexpensive fees, etc. But then you stand on the first tee and get a taste of what is to come...little streams that force you to manage your distance off the tee, trees and fence lines along the fairways, and relatively challenging uphill approach shots.

The course itself is in decent shape, and best of all, if you are a single and can get up early on a weekday, you can play 9 by yourself in less than 2 hours. Once the kids and old folks get out there, all bets are off. It's an inexpensive muni course though, so deal with it.

The postage stamp par 3 is a nice hole. A few cool little holes makes for a nice, quick little 9.

I went on Thanksgiving with my79 year old dad, brother and two nephews. We had a great afternoon. The pro on duty is super friendly and I love the course mascot. She is one of the nicest golf dogs I've ever met!

This course is a nice 9 hole course. I play it often and it is always in great shape. Tony (I think that's the owner's name), is always there and is always friendly and helpful. The greens are in great shape and fairways are pretty neat. There is water on 7 of the 9 holes, which creates a challenging round. It is somewhat of a hidden gem and a great value for the price. I reccomend this course for beginners to skilled golfers. Enjoy!

This course has no idea how to treat their customers. They act as if they are doing "us" a favor by letting us play there. Course and greens were in good shape. Unfortunately after being treated so poorly by staff there the very few times that I have played there, I do not recommend this place to anyone. If you work in a place that deals with customers, please have some good customer service. There are plenty of courses, and I believe that you can stand out with good service.
