A Friendly Course for a Novice

This course has significant elevation changes for the area, however the greens are all easily reachable in regulation. Although local conditions have been very wet, some areas were far too dry with burned grass on the fairways. The greens were in very good shape. Pace of play was outstanding. Our foursome shot from 84 to 104 and finished play in just over 3 hours.

My Favorite place to play

I love getting out to play Cary. The elevation changes are an adventure and the views are amazing. This is so much nicer than normal "flat" golf. The course has a nice woodsy feel. Not pristine but well maintained. Have always found the atmosphere friendly. This is a great value for the money and highly recommended.

Open Course

While the recent weather caused some water issues, the course was in pretty good shape. The open fairways and change in elevations were fun to play, but only because of the cart. Would never think to walk this course.

Go Play

I played this course for the first times last year. I returned to play there a total of 5 times last year and I've played there 4 times so far this year. I live more then 20 miles away from Cary but it is worth the trip. I really like this golf course because it has quite a few challenges but the course is very fair. Let's face it, most players are not single digit handicappers. This course has some difficult holes but even high handicappers can shoot bogey golf on most holes. The greens are in great shape. I hope they introduce some GPS carts some day.

Beware of the golf/lunch deal!

I purchased the "golf with lunch" special and found that lunch meant "hot dog on a cold bun"! No drink or chips included. I don't understand how that was called "lunch". Cary should be honest to Golfnow promotions and call it "golf with hotdog"
The course was in good shape with medium fast greens. Play was slow with a twosome holding up a foursome holding up a threesome holding up us. No ranger anywhere to speed them up. Turned out to be a 4-1/2 hr round, caused by a twosome!
Maybe we were just unlucky or lack of ranger.

Thank you for your feedback! The Golf & Lunch Special runs only on Thursdays and is lower than our normal weekday rates currently. We see the hotdog as added value at no extra charge. We are very sorry if this is misleading and will discuss promoting it in a more direct way. Further, we apologize if your pace of play took longer than you would have liked. Please email us at CaryCCTeeTimes@aol.com to discuss further.

"Locals" course. Hilly.

Decent course in decent shape.
Good place to get in practice round.
Not too tough.
Hot Deal was $22. Good deal.
Don't pay more than $30 weekday; #36 weekend.

Interesting elevation changes

The elevation changes are what set this course apart from nearby courses. Layout is fair. Greens and fairways in good shape, rough a bit long on most holes. Pace of play was good.

Course in not your typical flat Illinois course

Always a fun course - eight elevated tees, and some great views. Hills you don't normally see on Chicago area courses. Moved well with only one very slight back-up on the par three 14th. Course was in very good shape. No restrictions.

Fun Short Course

The course is short but fun to play. This is a great place to play for mid-to-high handicap players. A couple of the par 4s are drivable. Don't use driver on all par 4s because position is key on some of the doglegs, not length. Greens were in good shape but very tricky; that is what makes this course more difficult. I would play this course again.

Really????????????????????

First let me start by saying the lady in the club house was very nice, too bad that were all the good stops. Got to course at 700 for a 732 tee time had a frost delay not the courses fault but alittle annoying. So the hour delay goes by then every one rushes offf the first tee. We were supposed to be the second group off, but guess wat on the last nice day of the year they have no starter. It was suppsed to be 70 and you really have no starter. So we finally got off about the 8 or 9th group. Then we notice they are letting people tee off on number 10 as well. I also saw a 5 some a few groups ahead of us. This was a ok course before but there are alot better out there in this are, Foxford hills, Chalet hills. Will never be back, learn how to run a golf course.

One of my favorites

I've been playing this course occasionally since I was 14. Now I'm 68, and I still like it. The greens are pretty slick and a few are quite tough to read, like 8 and 11. The cart paths, where they have them, are getting pretty bumpy. The rough gets pretty thick only a yard or two off the fairway. A few yards of first cut is needed.

Like many courses, they need more tees. They only have red and white. (The scorecard says there are blue tees, but I haven't seen them.) They need a set of tees for senior men. Make them gold or something. Put them close to the white tees on the shorter holes, like 2 and 3, and put them close to the red tees on the long par 4s, like 4, 5, 17 and 18. A guy my age should be able to reach a par four with his two best shots. And senior men will go find another course before they play from red tees. What's a set of tee markers cost. Can't be much.

The need for dedicated senior men's tees exists on a lot of courses. Make this change and you'll have an advantage over those other courses.,

Fast Greens

Nice course, fun to play a course with some elevation changes in the area. Lots of tricky holes that test accuracy and the right club choice. Not the longest course but still pretty challenging. The greens here are extremely fast, can't think of a time I've had a ball come to rest then roll well off the green.
