Horrible experience on 2/25

Showed up 20 minutes before tee time and was greeted by 15 or so golfers waiting around for a cart. They were backed up at least a hour-hour and a half.. The lady inside was very nice and offered free beer on the house for everyone waiting around for the inconvenience however we tee’d off an hour past our time and couldn’t get 18 in. Also had to ride a three wheeled scooter instead of a cart. It was very slow and I had to peddle up hills and it died on me through 9 holes. It would’ve been fine if the price wasn’t $60 for a round that we couldn’t even finish.

My apologies for the delay you experienced. We had snow and frost on the ground that delayed all golfers Sunday morning by two hours. Cancellations and rain checks were available. You can still get a raincheck for holes not played.

Nice course

It's not fair to rate a Midwestern course's "conditions" in the middle of November. This is a nice course that we always enjoy playing. Check it out

Turnberry on Nov 6th

Course was in great shape, especially for early November. Most of the carts were missing the GPS devices. We never got the ones on our two carts to operate.

Turn Berry is a quality course

It's a difficult course but not to the point where it's unplayable by a double-digit handicap player. Greens are tough, but in good shape. Since it is a wooded course, fall can make it tough to find the ball off the fairway. I love playing here overall.

OK course

Played on a beautiful day in late October. To be expected the greens had been recently aerated and top dressed so they were pretty slow. A lot of leaves on the ground made it hard to find your ball. We were a twosome playing behind a threesome and we waited for just about every shot for the first 16 holes. Still it wasn't bad until the 17th when I couldn't find my tee shot in the leaves. After giving up looking, I dropped a ball and was ready to hit when a member of the staff stopped by us and asked what was the holdup? I told him I had trouble finding my ball in the leaves and he starts berating me out for taking so long. After waiting on nearly every shot for 16 holes he does that to me? I am not a slow player and it upset me the way he approached me.

I am sorry about the inconvenience caused to you. The ranger is just doing his job telling just about everyone to keep up with the pace. Nothing personal.

Incredible value

We play here all the time when we get it on Tee-Offs. Best value we've found on here. Seems like we're the only ones who think so...give it a try.

Sad to see how it has deteriorated

I was a member of Turnberry in the 1980’s when it was one of the better clubs around. We actually hosted the Illinois Open in 1989. Fast forward to today and I could cry to see how it has gone downhill. The course was always challenged with respect to drainage but it was considerably worse than I remembered. And it appears that the superintendent decided to aerate the fairways after we had several days of rain. The result was basically mud fairways. Greens were very soft and slow.

Although the pace of play was good on the front nine, as we made the turn it appears that they let at least one if not two groups go out ahead of us. Today was the first time that I can recall quitting after nine holes.

The layout of the course is great, but I won’t go back. Too bad that my last memory of this once great course will be so tainted.

I was a member here as well in in the early 1990's and it was an exceptional golf course then. Today when I play the course it's like watching an old friend dying. So sad! Larry Packard (original course architect) is rolling over in his grave at how the owner has let the golf course go to it's current state!!
