Klein Creek Golf Club
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.

Not worth the money
Terrible fairways and greens are in horrible condition.
Only positive was some decent sand in the bunkers.
Over designed and No Range
Course is over designed narrow fairways on the first couple of holes with OB left and right. No driving range either so you are going cold into a tough 4 hole stretch to open a round. Currently play at about a ten and had an off day but this was not a fun course at all to play. I'd look elsewhere until you are a pure ball striker and have your yardages real solid. On top of the already mentioned issues greens were rock hard and would not hold any shots. No thanks on Klein Creek, don't think I'd play here again even if it were free.
Thank You for the feedback. When the course was originally designed there were no plans for a Driving Range due to the housing development that was built around it.
We updated our hitting net area for golfers to warm up along with a putting and chipping are.
The course has always been considered a shot makers course and we have four different teeing areas for all skill levels.
We are preparing our greens for the summer season and getting them in the best condition possible. We hope that you will come back and see the improvement.
Klein Creek Review
Course was tough but, was wet. Course was fair and I like the layout.
Nice Round
It was windy, but the course was in pretty good condition. I played on a Saturday, but we played at a good pace. It could have been that way because it is still early in the season. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I do plan to play here again.
Challenging Course with a Great Staff
I played an early morning round myself with a cart and played in under two hours. It's a tough course if you slice a few as there is plenty of water in play. I needed to play a quick round before family came in to town and the course hit me hard, but it was still fun. Great design with houses and townhomes in between, but not really in the path of play. I would play here again, but in a group and slow down my pace. The course is demanding and requires proper shot distance and control.
Course is getting better
I haven’t played this course for over 3 years because the last time it was disaster. Considering it late in the year, the fairways and greens were in good condition and there was sand in every bunker (fortunately I didn’t experience any of the bunkers this round.) Even on a very windy day, we had a great day!
Been a while....
It's been a while since I had played this course but it's still a fun course. It's tough but fair and I thought the course was in good shape for the end of October. The price is also very reasonable which I would definitely come back and play here again.
Cold but fun
Stupid good rate on Golf Now. Pretty sure a mistake. 3 golfers 18 holes right at 3 hours. Zero waiting. Course conditions really pretty good. Green side bunkers fixed up since last visit. Nice improvement. Waste bunkers, although I get the title, could still use a little work. Greens, tees, fairways all good shape. You don’t interact with staff much because of COVID but very friendly in few interactions.
Tight but Pretty, fun, and fair layout. Highly recommended.
Tight and wet
After about 2 inches of rain the night before, the course was very soggy. It's a tight course that already features water on more than half of the holes. Having a wet course, balls had to fight through the soggy fairways thereby limiting normal distance. The course was in pretty good shape and they did a nice job of keeping leaves off the course, however the cart paths need much repair.
Not good
The course was not in good shape. Tee boxes were terrible along with the sand traps. Greens were as hard as rocks and would not hold any shot. Won't be going back to this course anytime soon.
Thank You for your input. . As you know, conditions are not ideal in the Spring and gets better as we move into the Summer. We renovated our Bunkers this past year are much better than what they were. We are always committed to make the course the best that it can be.
