First Time Playing

Would’ve been 5 stars if it weren’t for pace of play!

Everything about the course was great. It was in great shape. I loved driving through the neighborhood, but the one issue was it was backed all the way up.

Well managed

For a holiday Friday, they did an excellent job utilizing front 9, back 9 and hole gaps. Course was in decent condition considering all of the recent rain.

As expected

This course never disappoints. For a mid February round in Chicago, course was very playable except for a few mushy spots. Greens were a little slow as expected.

Winter Golf

If golf isn’t hard enough in perfect weather try winter golf. The was in the 50 degree range but even with that the course ground was hard, after the 9th hole the course started to soften up. The change created a different challenges, but all being said it was a great day at the course to practice all types of shots. Highly recommend the course but get there early.
