Slow day

The course was un good shape after the month of rain we had. Unfortunately, this time around pace of play was pretty rough. Had to ditch out after the 13th hole almost 4 hours into the round. More or less was a combination of not very good golfers and it being a really nice day. Wish I had time to finish the round. Just couldn't squeeze it in.

Nice Local Course, Needs Improvements

The course itself was in great shape. It's a fun course with a nice variety of holes. Can definitely attack the course for a great score. Downside is pace of play; should not take 5.5 hours for a round. Starter was clueless, watched one player hit 4 tee shots off the first tee. We were already 20 minutes behind our start time, watching this was beyond frustrating. The cart girl was fantastic, extremely cheery and had wonderful timing. Always recommend this course, but get out early.

Beware of Outings

The Rangers are non existent here. Came on a day where there was a golf outing. It took us over 3.5 hours to play the front 9. Many people gave up and bailed. Rather than place foursomes ahead of the golf outing groups to move things along, the Rangers did nothing despite being fully aware of the outing and the logjam it caused. Unacceptable and definitely not worth the price, even with the GolfNow discount.

The manager sucks

Went there on a beautiful day half the course was flooded and after the round the stater tells me to get a rain check. So I go to the pro shop to get my rain check and the manager named Scott says he won’t give me one because I booked it on GolfNow and i have to call GolfNow to have them refund me. So I try but on the app it says go to the pro shop so get my rain check and we don’t get anywhere besides him telling me good luck on that.

Always a problem

This place is usually a disaster. Played this course a number of times and most recently tee times were a full hour behind schedule. There is never a ranger to keep things moving. The course almost always has standing water on it even when there has not been rain. The beverage cart is often not running. Don’t play this course unless it’s dirt cheap and you are ok with many potential annoyances.

Hi Daniel-

Thank you for your feedback and playing Indian Boundary. We have had near record amounts of rain in May so far this year, so even on days there is not rain the ground is so saturated there is no where for the water to go. We always strive a great experience to all our golfers and I would like to talk to you about some of your other concerns you had from your last visit. Please email me at nrash@billycaspergolf.com so we can setup a time to talk. Thanks again.

Fun Day

I’m from Mckinney Texas and I was in the Chicago area for work, first time in this friendly course and staff, I was lucky to the pairing with 3 of the nicest guy in the area, We end up playing 9 holes due the rain, but it was a really round of golf, hopefully next time in the area I’ll be playing again this course.

Nonsense

I understand the weather was horrible the prior days and course would be somewhat under water. Back nine was closed and walking only. Which was fine and yes my choice to play in the conditions, BUT TO STILL CHARGE FULL PRICE to play the front twice. Come on??? Charge the replay fee !

Go to Course in Chicago

This is my go to course in Chicago. I have been here 20+ times. It is a relativity easy course, mostly because it is a short course. It is a great value for Chicago and highly recommend going here.
