Great course .... but slowwwwwwww

I love this course! Great layout. Great condition. I usually see 10-20 deer on the course. I drive out of my way to play here. But it's soooooo slow. I've never played it in under 5 hours weekends or weekdays. Would be a 5 star course for the conditions and value but too slow.

45 Minute Delay

Course was completely overbooked. Didn't have enough carts for all tee times. Had to wait 45 minutes past tee time. No way would you allow a golfer to show up 45 minutes late, yet when you do it, it's "oh sorry, this happens all the time."

Great for practice

No driving range, but good course to play if you're new to the game and just need some practice.

We played after the area had experienced significant rains, so there was a lot of flooding on some parts of the course - not something they could really control, but I think this also slowed the pace of play.

Bugs are really bad back here, to be expected, but bring bug spray. Fairways were chewed up on some holes, greens were ok for the most part, tons of goose droppings all over the place.

Overall, would recommend to someone just looking for practice, don't expect too much.

Good Course and Close to ORD

Very nice municipal course. Pace on the front 9 on a Saturday morning was a slow 2:48, but picked up on the back at 2:10, for a five hour round. Very playable. Generous fairways off the tee. Mostly open approaches to the greens. Lots of dog legs but the fairways are tree lined for the most part and well defined. Tees are in decent shape. Fairways cut to a decent length. Greens were slow and a bit bumpy. The rough, while not too tall, will snag your club head. Good bargain at $50.00 for 18, including a cart. very walkable. A few holes have a bit of distance between green to next tee, but not too many, and not overly far.15 minute drive to ORD and easy to find.

Brutally Slow

Didn't Finish. Disaster pace. No Ranger.

Course was in decent shape. Normally hacked up.

Price was good. If it is more than $30.00 don't play.

Not worth it.

Windy but very enjoyable day for this Georgian

Traveled up from Atlanta to move son home from college for the summer. Had a morning to kill until finals were over so grabbed hot deal at nearby Indian Boundary. Very blustery day and previous rainy days had a couple fairways flooded but very friendly staff apologized and crew was pumping water as we arrived. Despite that course was in good shape, greens were excellent and fast. We're older golfers so shorter course was good for our game. (We stayed at the Hilton and played Willow Crest the previous day) . Sand traps were mostly muddy and getting worked over by crew, already had a few repaired and in better shape. Had a very enjoyable time, just a great day. Not real crowded and everyone seemed to be playing at a great pace, never had to wait. Finished early and asked staff if we could continue and play front nine again. Very graciously told us since not real crowded play on. Wonderful day and looking forward to next visit in town this August.

Took forever

It took over an hour to complete 3 holes. After calling the clubhouse a ranger was sent out, but pace of play still remained slow. Tee times are staggered only 8 minutes and you will wait on EVERY tee on the weekends

Great Course for the Money

This course offers players like myself plenty of forgiveness when it comes to hitting the ball. The views that one experiences during the round are memorable. In my opinion, the only item that this course needs to address if the pace of play. When I played the course on Saturday, March 24, there were multiple times when my group had to wait long periods of time to start the next hole.

Decent course

I go to this course often and the issues usually rate of play. Course marshals do not go out on the course often. This past round I played the two groups ahead of me merged into 1 group which was slowing play. The group would not let us play through and the marshal did not come when we called. In 3 hours I was only able to complete 12 holes. This has always been an issues at this course. Other than rate of play this is a good course for beginners such as myself.

Really Enjoyable

Visiting Chicago for four days. Played this course the first day and I must say I enjoyed the course. Not far from O'Hare Airport hotel. All staff was friendly and polite. We saw a deer running across the course. Selection of food is extremely limited and over priced.

Good Course for Good Money

$30 for 18 Riding at 1245 on a Tuesday is not terrible. The staff is awesome. Booking on GolfNow helps to secure the time. Some of the yardage is off as far as tee to green on the score card. They do have USB Charging ports in each cart. They offer Golf Boards. Beverage cart was around often, water jugs were dispersed well for as hot as the day was.

I will be back to play this course, but I dont go there to be challenged, I go to enjoy the day and its an average course to take average golfers to. You wont impress anyone here, but you wont leave disappointed.
