Beauty

Very pretty course for Chicagoland. Lots of natural grasses and wildlife. Lots of cool short technical holes. A few boring ones. Great condition considering how much play it gets.

Great half round!

While I’ve played the back nine here a few times recently, I hadn’t played the front nine until yesterday. I was really impressed by the condition of the greens, fairway and tee boxes on the front nine!!! They were in pristine condition.

The clubhouse staff was very friendly and pleasant. While inclement weather stopped us from playing the back nine, the staff was great and offered rain checks!

Overall— enjoyed getting in 9 holes there this week!

Always fun course

This course is a great course when you can get a deal. I won't pay full price because this course plays so slow. However, the fun is worth it.

Value and location play

You know what you’re getting for this price in chicago usually but the course was really well maintained for the price. It’s short and the layout isn’t great but you can’t beat a 45 minute drive in traffic from downtown to a $45 round. The starter was kind of a jerk but once we went off everything was great. We finished on a crowded day in just over 4 hours. Fairways and tee boxes in nice shape. Greens were super slow. The rough is more like hard dirt so just stay out of it and you’ll enjoy the course.
