Edgebrook Golf Course

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Someone should have told us that the greens were aerated with big holes. NOT COOL to not disclose

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

Hadn’t golfed here in years due to pace of play and course conditions. Gave it a shot. Course still in poor condition and starter had a 6 some in front of us and said it was no big deal for a Saturday morning. Wouldn’t golf here again if it was $10. Staff was laughingly unhelpful. Won’t be playing here again and I recommend you save money and don’t play here either.

This course is in absolute terrible shape. I get that it’s short and that the fairway isn’t necessarily needed on most holes but there could still be grass and not dirt and the holes where a fairway is needed was non existent. $40 for this course is an absolute rip off. Hitting off range mats? Really. ? The tee boxes were weeds and dirt. Terrible. Shut this place down before it’s convicted of highway robbery for charging that price.

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.
