Edgebrook Golf Course

Starter put us behind a six some who played “best ball” but really didn’t. They were taking forever to play. Waited almost 15 minutes for every hole. Nice course, but they can’t have a six some play on course.

I'm not too picky when it comes to the courses I play but this was far and away the worst kept up course I've ever played. There aren't any tee boxes except for the mats that you HAVE to use on some holes. The course feels like you play 12 of the same straight 230 - 280 yard holes with a few others thrown in there. The course is poorly laid out so much so that at least 1 tee is hitting basically straight over another green.

Dont play this course, it's not worth your time and money.

It gets old making the same joke every time your ball is unplayable... "Well, it's only $25 a round". But that's not why I'm leaving a negative review. I'm used to the undulating tee boxes and challenging fairways of cheap courses.

The bad review is because there is an employee at this course that outright lies about tee time availability. The employee is extremely confrontational and creates opportunities for conflict. Literally, every time (x3) I've booked a tee time, there's been a "problem". There's always some confusion added unnecessarily. Like: "ok, you were 3:30? Let me make sure that works..." What's the problem, I've booked so send me out.

The employee micro manages cart distribution by not allowing certain tee-times to even rent a cart "just in case someone else shows up and wants one (whether or not there are any others booked)". I've been asked to switch carts twice because I'm solo and there's a broken one for me to use and leave the one I've already touched for someone else (twosome). Final straw was the employee following me outside to confront me about touching too many buggies. I had to touch so many while looking for one that still had straps and a single cup holder not dangling off.

You couldn't pay me $25 to ever play this course again.

The greens were in decent shape but that was the only good thing about this course, besides the staff. The course was in horrible condition and pace of play was very slow.

This is a true links course, with tight holes and an interesting layout. It was fun, played fast, and was great for my skill level (intermediate) as it's mostly par 4s with a few par 3s. However the grounds were not super well maintained (park district funding) and not a lot of amenities. Also the pace of play dragged a bit. If it were mid week, and I had paid less, I definitely would repeat for the fun. But the drive and price weren't worth the lack of upkeep and amenities for a weekend round for me when I could invest the same time driving away from the city and get so much more.

Almost every hole is a drivable par 4 or a long par 3 that you need to use a driver to reach. Using the longest tees means you hit off a mat. I don’t think I’ll ever be back. It might be the worse course I have ever played.

Hitting off mats for 5 holes, course is incredibly narrow, fairways are in awful condition, and pace of play is bad. Good for first-time golfers but no one else.

The course is poorly kept and the fairway intertwine so you are bound to have a ball hit by you. Also you’re hitting off mats for 5 holes. Just awful.

Too tight, sometimes dangerous. Too patchy, rarely a good lie.

There are many bald areas around the fairway and the tees. I had to move my balls constantly to make sure there were no rocks underneath that may damage my clubs. The ground was very dry too, which indicated that it had not been watered for some time.

Other than that, this is a good course for beginners and intermediate players who are trying to be more consistent with their games. If you miss hit the ball, most likely the ball is still in play... from an adjacent fairway.

Negatives: Lots of bald areas, fairway and rough are indistinguishable, and ground is so dry that it’s tough to put in the tee.

Positives: great for high handicap players to learn about consistency since it’s less likely for players to lose balls

A little over priced used to be able to play this course for about half the price not sure if it flu related.

If you live in the city and want to get a quick, cheap round in this is a good option. I paid 25 with cart you can practice your short game and on some holes driver.

if you wants to play blues you hit from a tee mat. Whites are grass.

The greens are big and forgiving. The fairways are wide. Not a lot of trees.

This is a park course so don’t expect a beverage cart or amenities you see on public courses but again for the price difference and location to city dwellers I’m fine losing some amenities.

The purgatory of golf courses. Teeboxes are crusty mats on asphalt. No par 5s, no bunkers.
