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.

Great value at twilight rate
Played an enjoyable round at a very competitive twilight rate. Course is in good shape overall. They are converting many former sand bunkers to grass so that makes it a little challenging but did not really affect the round. A few holes are tight with the OB and you will pay dearly if you are off the fairway. Second time playing in a month and would definitely recommend and i will return.
Terrible
Cart path was brutal! Going over everything was rocking the entire cart and bouncing my clubs out of my bag. Apparently it was cart path only, so when we drove around a pot hole, a rude staff member came to tell us if he sees our cart off the path again we will be done and won’t receive a refund. Could not even explain to him the size of the pothole he just drove off without us giving him our very reasonable explanation. Not to Mention the hole in front of us the foursome was all over the fairway with their carts!! Just overall terrible condition they should pay you to play here. So narrow, bunkers are awful, so many weeds and dandelions everywhere. Probably should close this place down and start over from scratch with new owners! Absolutely awful, never playing here again. I suggest you all do the same!
Semi-pro course from the back tees
I’ve been playing pretty well over the last few weeks decided to challenge myself and play from the tips and this course served me a nice slice of golf humble pie. I will still write a positive review, beautiful course, great layout, very challenging, but fun!
Enjoyable round
Overall a nice challenging course that is making some modifications to bunkers to make it more enjoyable for the average golfer. Green did not hold well and were tough to read but still an enjoyable round Will return.
Poorly maintained course
Played a round @ Klein Creek on 5/15/20. Course was a hot mess. Crabgrass, large patches of dandelions and shamrocks throughout course. Sand traps devoid of sand and replaced either with mud or grass/weeds. Save your money.
Welcome Back!
Wow. Thank you to the new owner and the golf staff for bringing this great layout back into the Fold. The past few years have been tough for this course but the new owner and staff have improved the bunkers, paths, layout, facilities and food. The list can go on but I certainly welcome this place back to a place I definitely want to play - best value in the area and once the inside dining finally opens back up it will be great (in meantime the new outdoor grill area is serving - carried out a couple times and the burgers blew me away. Thanks again!!!
Definitely playing here again!!
First time playing this course and was extremely impressed with the overall conditions and the overall degree of difficulty that the course provides. I found out that it's under new Ownership and it's very obvious that they're committed to making it one of the nicest course in the area. Great pace and conditions and the staff was also very friendly. Definitely playing this course again.

I've been playing Klein Creek since 2013. When I first played it, it was great! Fun course nestled inside a nice neighborhood. More recently though its gone wayyy down hill.
They were overcharging for you to play a round and hit out of absolute dirt in their sand traps (everyone agrees here). They had gone through a few owners form what I understand.
At one point you could call the club house and offer $20 w/cart to play as the person on the other line had no clue what was going on.
My buddy told me recently this place has improved as I have been reading in the comments. Going to play it Saturday so we'll see what happens....
