Better than just hitting the driving range

Super easy course... very short. Decently maintained. Tee boxes are off driving range mats.

Edgebrook is Solid

Overall a great course for the money. Pace of play can get unusually slow, but that is more due to the short par 4’s and who is in front of you, rather than the course itself.

Same old same old...

4000 yard course with tee mats. At least they put in twe markers if you want to hit off the grass, but the "tee boxes" were not manicured at all. It was like teeing from the rough. Greens were ok for being so early in the year. No amenities in the clubhouse. Can't blame covid on self serve. Not worth the 35 bucks for a broken cart. Rather play somewhere else for 5 bucks more..

Tee Mats for Tee Boxes

1) Tee Mats for tee boxes

2) Staff tried to charge us $75 each for the round

It’s okay if you’re learning how to golf and you don’t want to leave the city, but your dollar goes way further at other courses nearby.

Great Course

Always a good time at Edgebrook. The greens at this course a very well kept. It's a really fun course, with diverse holes. Saw a couple of deer on the course, and various hawks.

Dan Was Great

For a Monday in late fall, the course was run solely by Dan and he is a gentleman. I was chasing the sun down and he was waiting patiently for my cart to make it back to the clubhouse to end his day. The staff here are invariably cordial and professional.

The deer at Edgebrook and rare bird sightings are a big plus too.

Perfect weather
Used cart

This course needs a lot of work. There are no grass tee boxes, instead they have astroturf mats, which are nearly impossible to hit off of. The greens and fairways need a lot of work. For the state that the course is in charging $45 is way to steep. I have played most of the forest preserve courses and this one by far is my least favorite.

Fun course to play

Really fun course to play. The greens were well kept, the staff was friendly. People who complained are snobs, who probably suck at golf. Of course the rough is bad, it's called the rough for God's sake. The mats for tees isn't as bad as I thought. Bonus we saw a buck and a doe. Overall a fun place.

Awful

You tee off turf mats similar to a cheap driving range. The fairways are in terrible shape and the holes are short and crammed together. Several holes have trees over-hanging the tee box. Just in brutal shape. Not worth the money.

Walked

Overpriced, terrible conditions

The course charged me for a power cart and did not tell me, so I paid for a pull cart. When I saw the price on my credit card, I called them, and they said the cart / walking rate is the same, so that they didn't overcharge. I tried to explain that I wouldn't have rented a pull cart if I had known I was charged for a power cart, but they were inflexible and would not refund the difference.

Generally, the course conditions are terrible, you tee of mats, the holes are crammed together, the design is plain. I think this course is really only a fit for someone who just got good enough to play something harder than a par 3 course. Other than that, you will have a terrible time. It was my least enjoyable round of the year.

This course is in bad shape. Fairways are not well maintained With a lot of dead grass and your ball might end up in a pile of sticks if not hit on the fairway. This courses only saving grace is that the greens are in much better shape than they used to be and the staff is pretty friendly. Only way I would play here again is if they drop the price below 25 bucks like it used to be
