Worth it for a quickie

Management this year is doing a great job. Really proactive and friendly. Course is in better shape than the last few years. There is actually grass in certain places that there wasn't.

Afternoon Round

Indian Boundary is probably the course I play most often. Booked a tee time for this round to take advantage of the cheaper afternoon rates. The course was in great condition but the pace of play was painfully slow. All the times I've played there it's a consistent problem. There are times when two groups will get stacked up at a tee box waiting on another to finish a hole. There really is no presence of a ranger on the course to keep people moving. Despite slow play Indian Boundary is a great golf course.

"bunkers"

The green were a little too long, they needed to be mowed. Also, the condition of the "bunkers" is just awful. This is an ongoing issue with chicago municipal courses so just be aware. Overall it's a decent course, meant to accommodate the amateur golfer or someone who wants to work on their short game, as I have reached multiple greens from the blue tees and will consistently have 2nd shots inside 125 yards. Like I said it's a good practice course or weekday nice weather course. The staff is always amazing and they have very outgoing personalities. I enjoy this course and will continue to play here often, I just wish they had better bunkers.

Brutal winter and this is a wrecked course

It's not their fault probably because of the winter we just had, but the course is in brutal shape. it think there is as much fairway dirt as grass. I'm sure in a month or two it will be better. Still not worth anywhere near $50 a round.

Fine course but very slow

Pace of play was a really downer on our experience. 18 holes took over 5 hours and we waited at every hole which completely ruined the rhythm of the day.

The pace of play is slow. Overcrowded in the afternoon. They let a foursome cut in on the back nine and held up there groups of players right behind

They let a group of foursome start on the back nine, cut in front of three group of players which is a twosome, three sone and twosome, totally ruin the pace of plays for everyone... Very disappointing.

Nice course - bad pace.

Got to the course and had to wait about 10 minutes for a cart. Course has a nice, short set up. Course was well maintained, but the pace was way too slow. Course needs a ranger to move golfers along. Played 9 in 4 hours, had to leave after 9. Got a rain check for the other 9, which was great. I would probably play during the week the next time.

Cool note: deer were all over the course and were not scared of the golfers (see picture).

very slow play. no rangers on the course

course was fine. Greens a little long so they played slower. Took over 5 hours to play. Lack of staff out on the course allowed play to be this slow. Lots of novice golfers so be prepared to take at least 5 hours. Hot Dog is $4.50. Pricing for beer and pop slightly higher than this quality of course should be charging.

Nicely maintained course

Slow play. Even when I tee'd off 11:40 (10 mins late), it took us 5 hours to play. However, still enjoy this course.

Course is a good warm up. Isn't very tough

Course is in pretty good shape. A couple of holes on back nine a little muddy. Staff very friendly especially the starter. He always lets us start early if not crowded. I'm a 14 handicap and course is pretty easy with the toughest holes being 17-7-9 in that order. If you shoot over 90 at this course you really need to take a lesson.

Favorite course on the Northwest side

One of the best courses on the Northwest side of Chicago for the money. Course is challenging for all levels. Pace was a little slow because of a foursome ahead.
