Neighborhood Favorite

I love playing Edgebrook and I always feel I have the course to myself. The course was in great shape for the time of year it was. Greens were perfect.

Not Impressive

For your money there is much better options around the city. Course is in really poor condition and is an absolute free for all on the course. Implementing a starter would do some good.

Edgebrook makes golfing unpleasant on days they mow. Ipay to golf there, but have to golf around the rude lawnmowers

I enjoy playing here, but will ot be returning soon.

Edgebrook makes golfing unpleasant on days they mow. I pay to golf there, but I have to golf around the lawnmowers.

My golfing partner hit his lawnmower cart by accident on hole 10.

I told him to get out of the way. I must have angered him.

He followed us from hole 11 to 14 cutting the grass.

I called the desk requesting he keep out of our way.

His supervisor showed up on hole 15.

Instead of apologizing, I get blamed for slowing the game by looking for balls in the wood and taking extra golf shots. (Both statements untrue)

The lawnmower guy should have reported me instead of following us from hole 11-14.

The supervisor didn’t care for my side of the story.

I spoked to The desk guy. He repeated what the supervisor was told by the lawn mower.

I told the desk guy if what he claimed was true(that I was getting balls in the wood or taking extra shots,). Why did he follow us from hole 11-14. Why did he take it upon himself to stalk us instead of reporting me?

Of course I was made to feel like I was Lying. I took pics of the lawn mower guy and showed them to the desk guy.

Mr. Casper, something is rotten in Denmark!

Good for beginners

I usually enjoy golfing over at Edgebrook golf course. It is a basic course to improve your game. But lawnmower staff very rude.

This is a different course. Some who are more traditional may be uncomfortable with it.

Staff was great, pace of play was fast, greens are in nice shape.

Some things were a bit odd, like the official tees are artificial grass mats about 4 feet wide, but they mowed another Redbox on most holes.

This course Ian a par 66 with 6 par 3's and no par 5's. The longest Par 4 is just over 350 yards. So it's not the most hallemging, although the trees on a few dog legs and one creek come into play. I was able to avoid hem easily.

Overall resonantly priced, and a fast pace of play. We finished 18 holes in 3.5 hours l.

Poorly Managed, Poorly Invested and Lack of Focus

I don't recommend this course if you can't play 18 in 90 minutes, shoot under 100 or care about pace of play. I just got done playing here today. I finished in 5 hours, shot 83. The guys in front of us were wasted. They wore really trashy clothing, despite standard dress code. There was a lot of children on the golf course and this 'accepted' behavior sets a bad example. They let the people in front of us battle in bumper cars. The people in front of use were playing with another 4 sum infront of them. The golf course condones finishing a hole, leaving the pin on the green and proceeding to the next hole.

Every hole there are matts on the ground to tee off at, despite the $30 green fees. If you're expecting to tee off on grass, it'll happen, but every hole will feel like a par 3.

Something positive? The greens are well taken care of. The greens are really challenging. I shot an 86 but with 33 putts. It was nice to play on something like that.

Overall, I told the management of our experience there. There was no resolution. They said there is nothing they could do about what people do on their course. I'll never go back though.

Average Course but Quick Round

Not sure if this course always has beat-up tee boxes, but they were not in good shape. There were tee mats for the blues, but really, who wants to hit off those?

Overall, it was a nice fast round with a few challenging holes. I liked a couple of the par-3s over water. Most holes were dead straight tho, so not particularly challenging and few, if any, bunkers. Good course for beginners I'd say!

Confusing layout

The course is a bit confusing for first timers. The starter tried to inform us of the difficulty of it at the first tee. But still a bit lost. We were first golfers of the day(so nobody to follow behind) but its an overall bice pkace tucked into a forest preserve. I will be back for sure!!

DO NOT PLAY HERE!!!

How can golfnow.com even support this place? Most of the holes didn't have tee boxes, it was all mush, and the only green grass was on the greens. I think a refund is in order! STAY AWAY! Find anywhere else to play.

Also, they don't have a liquor license.

Staff was super, super nice and friendly. But, the course is simply unplayable.

Fine for a quick round after work.

The good:

Course is short, so my score was 10 shots lower than normal!

Early morning round meant I had the course almost to myself.

The guy bringing out carts was very pleasant, and gave me the rundown of the course.

The mediocre:

The back tees are all high-quality hitting mats with tee holders. Not great, but at least they're not AstroTurf.

No Par 5's. It would be nice to be able to crank the driver once or twice per round.

The bad: I booked the first tee time of the day. While I was waiting for the clubhouse to open so I could pay, the starter send two people out ahead of me. He mentioned they were employees, and I didn't have a problem letting them go first.

Except I don't think they fixed a single ball mark on the greens. Just about all the greens had a couple of fresh ball marks when I got to them. How do they expect people to fix their ball marks if the employees won't?

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We do understand the importance of golfer etiquette and apologize for the ball marks that were not fixed. This is something that we take seriously and will make sure to talk to our employees about. We are glad to hear that, aside from the unfixed ball marks, you had an overall good experience at Edgebrook Golf Course. We hope that you are able to make it back to the course again soon!
