Course needs new cart paths

For an expensive golf course they should have cart paths that don’t have potholes all over. The greens are good but the sand traps need to have more maintenance on them. The layout is excellent but they are overlooking the small details that make a great property

Great Round

Showed up early and found the range under repair until 10 minutes before my tee time which was disappointing but not that big of a deal. Asked starter if I could get off early since they weren’t particularly busy. He immediately got me off an hour early which was great. Played 18 as a single in 2:20 minutes playing through only one foursome. Granted that’s unusual but their quickly accommodating moving my time up combined with all the other nice aspects like the course being in great shape, beverage carts, a nice clubhouse, etc makes it still the premier public links in Chicago.

Course is in great shape

I played on a wet and cloudy day yet the course was still in fantastic shape. The pace of play was amazing on a Tuesday morning and such a delight since it typically takes 5 hours minimum for 18 here. If you can go during off-hours, it’s definitely worth your buck!
