Scenic course

Great course!!! Excellent people that I played with. The staff if extremely friendly and helpful. Even the higher ups are very nice because they said that if it’s not raining and the

BLUE HANDICAPPED spots are taken sometimes by others

(Non-handicapped people) that I could park on the grass. That was such a relief because otherwise I’d have to park so far away.

This course compares and is no less than course #2 at Cog Hill (Lemont) where we paid $90 three years ago. Just look at the beauty of each and every hole here. It’s phenomenal!!!

I’ve played 100’s of course here in Illinois and in almost all the in the Eastern and Western Caribbean Islands but yet to see a beauty such as this one which is also very well maintained and to have the course so nearby. Thanks for helping me out Don because I was ready to give up but your prompting & encouragement got me thru the rest of it. My hats off to all you people out there. Thanks again for allowing me to play and be a part of it!!!

bad

I was in a twosome. At the turn we went in to get a free hot dog and soda When we came back there were three of four groups c that jumped ahead of us. They must of all started at the 10th and we left in disgust. Several of these people were not very good and we did not want to spend all afternoon following these groups. We left after nine.

Too slow and too expensive for what it is

I used to play here a few times a week. The value was great. They have made more and more money each year since Covid, and all they have done is raise their prices and book more people. It's an easy course that should be played in 3 hours and a half tops. It takes almost 5 hours to play now, even on weekdays. The rates are almost $20 more than they used to be. It used to be 35 after 12 on weekends and 29 on the weekdays. Now it's 50-59, and rates don't drop till 2. It's simply not a $50 course. They don't have a ranger or the amenities to command that. The greens are very slow. We were always ok with this because of the value, but no more. We quit after 10 holes last time we played, and they management didn't care at all.

Solid choice for 18

Course is nice. Fairly shorter track but elevation changes make it a lot of fun to play. My group ended up playing 36 our first time here. The ammeneties are dated but the staff makes up for it, very friendly folks here.

Fun course & great value

This is a fun course that was in pretty good condition, especially for how affordable it is. It's not a very long course overall, which was nice for some in my group who aren't long-hitters. Lots of cool, elevated tee boxes & some shorter par 4s where you can keep your driver in the bag but still leave yourself a short-/mid-iron approach shot. Not much water in-play & a pretty open layout with minimal OB, so you shouldn't lose too many balls either.

Fun track, but not fun staff

Sat AM 11:21 round, so the course was packed. Everyone at the course was great except for a "Karen" in the clubhouse who came out to us on the course and was very nasty, trying to get us to speed up. We were not holding anyone up, and the group behind us never caught us, but she had to come to get nasty with us and tell us, "its wide open in front of you," and we agreed, but we told her we are not holding up anyone either and we will try and speed up more. Then, as my 16yo son was moving a branch for his shot, she was sitting in her cart watching him and complaining when he moved the branch and taking his time (as he should be). Then when we were at the turn on the 10 T box she was yelling at a group who hadn't even teed off on 1 yet, they had just gotten there. She was snotty and should find a new line of work, and to be honest she almost ruined our entire day. Not really sure we will be back.

Many Improvements

Was pleasantly surprised at the improvements made to the course since last year. Ownership has given the course a needed clean up which had made for a very buttoned up feel as you play the course. And was told by staff that more is coming as they prepare for their centennial celebration of the course next year.

Highly recommend playing this very enjoyable course.

The Hills are Alive

Very hilly layout, even with a cart you'll need a strong core. Greens in good condition, many are rather small and sloped. Fairways are average, at best.
