Bad course

Horrible when you have to tee off from range mats and the "fairway" is all dirt not even worth the cheap price

Edgebrook

wow, rain , lightning to start, very wet fairways from heavy rain(which it has been every second day,heavy). but this is a strait,mostly level course. No sandtraps. A course set up for new or players coming back to the game 13th and 14th hole are a challenge due to terrain. the Chicago river, woods and a steep ravine come into play on these holes.
Heavy woods come into play on a number of holes.

Easy, confidence building course

Short, easy course. The greens are in good shape, but that's about it. Challenging par 3s, short par 4s, no par 5s. Leave the driver in the bag and practice your mid-iron game.

Greens outstanding condition

I booked on GolfNow. I was not told that they had an outing that day and we would not be able to get a gas cart. I have a bad knees and cannot walk long distances usually. The greens were he best I have played this year. If they got rid of the tee mats, it would do a lot for the course.

Course has gone down hill

I had not played this course in over 20 years and it was in poor condition back then. It was hard to belive that it was worse. I will say the greens were in great shape and the restroom was clean but the rest of the course is in very bad shape. You still hit off mats and the fairways were not cut. I won't be back there anytime soon.

Dog Track

While $25/person with a cart is a pretty good deal, I found this course quite ridiculous. The fairways were really bad and a few of the holes are just lame...an 80 yard par 3 straight up a hill? On a positive note the greens were very well maintained and there was almost nobody on the course so we moved through pretty quick.

Great staff but the course could use a little love!

Great course and overall I really like it compared to the other forest preserve golf. I've visited several of these courses but do have to say that I will never again be playing at billy Caldwell. The staff was extremely rude and not the least bit welcoming.

18 hole course, cheap price.

The course wasn't in good shape in terms of the fairways, however the greens were kept in great condition.If your looking for a quick 18 at a reasonable price this is the place.

This course was poorly maintained

I would like to start with finding the place was rather difficult because of the size of the sign they have on Central to help you locate the course. When arriving to this course I came to see that the course had two options to tee off from. You could either hit from the white markers and be in a straight patch of dirt where there was no grass or you could tee off from little mats which gave you that driving range feel. The course is poorly designed and was at times hard to figure out which way to go to find the next hole. After the 9th hole you think the course would circle back to the clubhouse for "the turn", but that wasn't the case, there was no place to purchase snacks or beverages while on the course. I will probably never go back to this course and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I was very surprised as I have golfed other forest preserve parks and haven't seen any this poor. I hope this is not what the other will be like in the future.

Pay $20 more and go to a real golf course

Too short, fake mats for tee boxes, poorly maintained. Doubles as a disc golf course, if that gives you a measure of the quality.

Great place to golf 18 under 3hrs usually

course has some interesting, fun holes, some water but no sand traps also still has cement tee boxes with mats or semi grass tees in front which makes course even shorter. I like it because you can golf 18 hole in 2hrs 45min usually

The course needs a lot of attention.... I was hitting from dirt in the middle of the fairways.

Failure of course maintenance

The maintenance of this course was embarrassing. There were entire fairways that were brown and barren and I've never played a course where the ball jumped during putts as much on greens. I paid $21 with Golf Now's fees and think I vastly overpaid. If I paid the standard fee I would be irate.

Bottom line, go pretty much anywhere else.

Great pace, very easy

Great pace of play. We played 2 rounds because the first only took 3.5 hrs. Of course when you have straight 250yd par 4s all over and no hazards that's easy to do. Greens and fairways are nice. Tee boxes are terrible. They only have 1 tee box every hole and then just a mat 20yds back on some concrete for a "blue tee". Nice to get a quick round in or work on your iron game a little. Don't bring a driver

Good value - Nice greens - No par 5's - Hi-handicappers

This is a forest preserve course. Great value. Greens in good shape. This course is for high handicappers but surprising good.
Limited electric carts. Call ahead if you are riding.
