Looking much better!!

They've done a lot in a month here. Greens improving. Grass cut much better. Still not perfect. But much better, but well worth the price!! Pace is usually a bit slow. But it beats working any day!! I will be back

Good value for the money

Tuckaway is hidden gem, with changing elevations. Although the course could use a bit of maintenence, the greens fees can make you overlook some of its short comings. My favorite hole is #17, with a fairrway that is pitched toward the water, followed by a dogleg around the water. Nice course.

I love this course.

This course is great for moderate players. I enjoy taking my clients to this course and they seem to really enjoy it as well. It is pretty open, but there are several areas to lose your ball. There are a lot of trees on this course....my ball has found many of them.

Great Course - Give it a shot!!!!

Great course for the price! Don't let negative reviews discourage you. An absolute south suburban hidden gem. Pace of play was what should be expected at 1130 on a Saturday but it moved rather quickly. Challenging greens are a plus, may need some maintenance but overall great. Friendly staff...

Stay Away

i have been playing this course for years. Went out Saturday 5/13/17 and it was like a free for all. Fivesomes , no rangers to move things along, 5+ hour round. And as far as the course goes, you couldn't tell the rough from the fairway. Weeds everywhere and i mean everywhere. I don't know if its the same owners but it never looked as bad as it did that day. Don't think i will go back.

Nice Course

The course was good. I believe my experience would have been much better if the tee areas and greens were in much better shape. The greens were the worst I played on this year. Some of the tee areas had no grass.

the green was aerated on the day we play

The course layout and fairways are great. The putting green was recently aerated with bald areas about 50 % of the green. Not so good.

The course was terrible

The course was terrible. I should have known something when I saw a big sign that said no refund as a matter fact no charge should have been assessed anybody who endured the terrible conditions at this golf course I would not recommend this course to anyone .

The fairway grass was as long as United States open rough every shot there was grass behind your ball I lost four balls in the middle of the fairway not only should they not have charged they should've paid people to play on Sunday, August 21, 2016

Great challenge with the table top greens. If you don't hit the ball just right on the greens they roll off.

Good course to improve your game

Small greens, a couple of blind holes, and many dog legs on a very hilly layout. I found this course challenging at first, but adjusted and pared a few holes. A couple greens were in need of some attention, but for the most part an enjoyable round. Great for the $$
