Perfect Chicago Course

Great layout. Little forgiveness on many tees, but that's a good thing. Tee boxes kept up well. Greens ran slow to start then picked up. Very challenging greens. If you hit it straight, you'll card one of your best scores. For the money. Probably the best value in Chicagoland. Even saw a baby deer!

Great Course

This is a great course; great for a beginner but challenging enough for an intermediate level golfer. The only thing this course is missing is a driving range, without the range I can only see myself golfing here once per season. If they had a range, I would definitely come back multiple times throughout each season on my own. However, if I get invited out to a round with friends and this is the course we’re playing, I won’t decline the invite.

First Time Playing

A gem in the forest

Excellent course. Very friendly with wide open fairways and greens in excellent condition. I will definitely play here again. Groundskeepers keep meticulously the areas around holes5,6,7,8. I was visiting from Florida and fell in love with this course. Maybe making 5 birdies and shooting my first ever round in the 60’s makes me bias. A 69 was best ever round anywhere. Thanks Indian Boundary for an awesome day.
