Rough

Course was under water, bathrooms were all closed, and there were legitimate drag races happening outside the course near holes 16-18. Other than that you really can't expect more from a course in Chicago this early in the season.

One of the best courses in the area

I’ve been wanting to play here for a while now and finally carved some time out. Located in a unusual area of town, but wow. If you liked to be challenged this is it. Not as much water are I imagined but the contour of the land scape and the multiple and strategically placed bunkers makes every hole an adventure. I loved it and can’t wait to come back.

Great course layout/subpar course conditions & facility

Overall the course layout is great but needs maintenance. The views were much better than expected. Tee boxes were mostly divots, and you have to fix about 6 ball marks on every green before putting. Guess the people that pay $120/round never learned course etiquette. The bathroom and locker room resembles a grammar school/ymca. Prefer Cog Hill or Mistwood for the money spent.

Good value at online rate

Course itself is very nice, links-type layout. Place feels shabby though—cart paths are horrible condition, clubhouse is worn. Views of factories have always been a unique element. Still, nice place to play close to the city.
