Indian Boundary Golf Course

Don’t book here expecting to get that golf cart that is guaranteed in the fine like details when booking. Expect to pay $17 a person for a cart and remember that you can’t take a cart solo so they actually cost $34. The ‘greens’ are sand boxes but some roll like you are putting on ice. The clubhouse attendants are a joke to say the least. Course pace is the worst I’ve seen in years, over booked and waiting on tee boxes is beyond normal. The layout is not half bad and it does have some nice views. You sure do have enough time to look around playing your 5.5 hour round.

What is it with all the forest preserve courses that a 5 hour round is standard. Tee’d off at 10:30am. Behind a group of 4. These jabronies were slow. I don’t mind missing shots or shanking or whatever but taking 2 minutes to prepare to shank a ball while your 3 other jamoke buddies watch instead of getting ready for play is a joke. Saw a ranger/pro at hole 9 and we asked if he could speed them up. He declined? Nice course. The rebuild was worth it. The pace of play was horrendous without anyone to police it. I’ll be back to give it another chance. Perhaps tee times every 10 minutes isn’t a great idea.

Great course. There are short par 4s that are a blast to play. Condition was great and staff was friendly.

There comes a point in a golfer’s life where you really understand why it’s called a gentleman’s game. Usually it’s on the course when you have to give yourself that extra stroke, or let the faster group play through. Unfortunately for this course, all of that is lost with the management. Now, I’m all for rules and regulations, and protocol, but when you have a member of your party get covid and can’t show up to the course...only to be read that the green fees won’t be refunded if done in less than 24hrs is the total absence of humanity.

We didn’t even want our money back. We just wanted to use his green fees towards our carts. The “manager” from the last 4 years wouldn’t look me in the eye and just kept reading his agreement. Not only would we be charged the absent green fees, he wanted to add $55 for carts. It is a travesty and an embarrassment to the gentleman’s game of golf.

It's reasonably priced, and a decent little track for a Sunday round of golf, but 4 hours 45 minutes is too long for a 6000 yard course, especially when tee times are every 10 minutes due to COVID.
