About
Klein Creek Golf Club sprawls across acres of rolling prairieland in the western suburbs of Chicago. Trees frame the layout's gentle doglegs and tall prairie grasses border the fairways. It is a golf course that offers both beautiful scenery and a challenging round. Several lakes also dot the landscape, coming into play on almost every hole. The abundant water hazards are often coupled with spacious, intricately designed bunkers that are also usually paired with wood retaining walls. Contoured mounding frames the fairways and greens as well. Klein Creek Golf Club's layout is not easy by any means but it's fair, offering room for error on even the tougher holes with wide fairways and generous landing areas. There are a variety of approach options for the greens as well, providing great risk-reward opportunities.

Great course!
Great course for beginners and beyond!
And the times are spread out enough where you don’t have to wait for the people in front of you or fee pressure from those behind you.
Klein creek
Fairways and greens in excellent condition. Greenside bunkers new and a fair play out, but most fairway bunkers sub par or being eliminated. Which is fine if you hit it straight, which I did today. Paths are worn out and in need of repair, but honestly, the focus is in the right place on maturing the bunkers and manicured fairways and greens. The path doesn't make much difference to me when the rest of the course is as nice as it is.
Go play Klein if you like a challenge.
Course Knowlege Would Help
This course has a number of nuances and features that can adversely affect your score and your disposition if you're not aware of them. Additionally, course conditions were a bit rough in places and the greens weren't rolling very true with uneven surfaces and also had some aeration remnants. Overall, it is a nice layout but improved conditions are needed to make this course worth the price and reputation.
Decent course if you get it for the right price
I have played at Klein Creek multiple times over the years and, if you get a good deal, the course offers a decent challenge. However, this course should never be more than $40 a round. They have neglected many of their bunkers especially those in the fairways. They are filled with weeds. The course needs to maintain or eliminate those bunkers. Also, some of the tee boxes were chewed up. Finally, what was once primarily paved cart paths are mostly now gravel. In addition, in the middle of my round our cart ran out of gas, which is inexcusable. I do appreciate the course giving us complimentary beers to offset our delay.
Great Value for Your $$
Course is in great shape! Challenging not easy but, fair. Loved the round - Staff Super Friendly
Beautiful Course, Overactive Ranger
This course was in great shape and very fun features. Plenty of challenges and unique hole layouts. I would definitely play again but hope it’s not the same Ranger on duty. He stopped our group 3 separate times for lengthy lectures to pick up the pace of play. He made us feel very unwelcome as a foursome trying to keep up with a threesome ahead of us. We completed our round in 4hrs 5 mins, consistently on pace throughout.
Nice changes
Had not played course in close to 5 years as it had been going downhill FAST. New ownership has made some nice changes for players of all levels. Played late afternoon and finished 18 in less than 3 hours.
Best change is that course has been made much more playable for the mid to high handicapper while still being a challenge for the better player.
Biggest drawback remains the lack of a practice range. Layout of first 3 holes presents a lot of issues. Not having the benefit of a warm-up magnifies them.
Nice changes at a fair price point.
Murphy’s Law
Storms blew through overnight. Internet was out so club house wasn’t able to check us in. Cart path only because of sloppy fairways. More thunderstorms at 12th hole so we were cut short. But, other than that this is a fun, challenging course. Always enjoy it!
Improvement but way too hot
Improvements have been dramatic, especially the bunkers! The last time I played here, we were told to simply take any ball which went into a bunker and drop it in the grass.
I experienced dehydration once and I have no desire to repeat the experience. As such we gave up the ghost after 13 holes. Rough day!.
Fair
Was extremely wet from the rain. Course was decent but they have a ton of GUR (grass under repair) spots on almost every single hole. No turn around grill or beverage cart. Had to go into clubhouse bar to order food/drinks. Overall was fine for the price but was expecting it to be a bit better
