Type Public
Par 72
Length 6701 yards
Slope 140
Rating 72.8

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.

Solid Track, Tough Challenge

Staff was very nice. Course very challenging even from the white tees. Hard fairways with BIG and sometimes unpredictable bounces, and hard and fast greens made it very difficult. Could soften things up a bit so its not so punitive - even on good shots (or I could play better). Overall a nice find.

Love the Improvements!

Have played this course over the past several years and love the improvements under new ownership, especially the sand traps. My friends and I have always enjoyed playing this challenging course and even more so now with the improvements made and those still going on. Would definitely recommend this to others and we will play here several times this season. The pace of pace of play has been very good as we finished 18 holes in ~4-4.5 hrs with Sat AM tee times.

Parking lot fairways

I figured with all the renovation and new ownership they would have been better, but I couldn’t of been more wrong.

I’m not sure if they just never use the sprinklers or water they’re greens/fairways at all. The ground was so hard a fairway shot I had literally took a chunk out of my club head.

Trust me I enjoy a firm challenging course but when this was more comparable to a mall parking lot. Save yourself the stress and headache and just pay the extra 10 bucks for a different course.

Love the Updates to the Course!

The Klein Creek Team has made some great changes to the LP course. The sand in the traps is a significant upgrade and very soft to hit out of. The staff is great as well. Happy to hear that other changes are ongoing to improve the course. Will definitely play at Klein Creek several more times as it is a fun and challenging course!

I came back

I came back after finding they’d renovated the course after it had fallen into disrepair. Mixed reviews, still no good practice area, practice putting green was considerably slower than greens on course.

They have done some work and are heading in the right direction. But it’s still pretty shaggy out there and the greens are uh, well not great, but they rolled true even though they need some grass. Converting some bunkers into waste areas, but that’s not always super clear. Had to take a couple drops from GUR, but there’s been no reason and they’re old.

Still tight and loose off the tee is costly. Big greens, Better know how to lag.

I’ll read the reviews, but other courses in the price range in the area are in better shape.

nice track

Great course for our group, 4 some that live south, north and west, it’s right in the middle. Nice course, fair but challenging, number 2, 9, and 18 will test your mettle. Great after round options for food and drinks.

New and Imroved

You owe it to yourself to come back to Klein Creek and check it out if you haven't been here since the new ownership took over. Not only great changes to the course but also to the clubhouse, restaurant and overall atmosphere. I have been coming here for years and couldn't be more excited about the upgrades. And the staff is as awesome as ever.

Changing for better

Fairway and green conditions were very good. They have replaced most all cart paths that were in rough shape before with a type of gravel and are now pretty smooth. They also redid most sand traps. For the price it is a good course. Looking forward to the additional improvements.
