Course in go9d shape fof early spring

Considering all the water issues on courses in Northern Illinois the course had dried out nicely. It was very playble. With the exception of a couple slow players in front of us I'm very happy!

My husband and I played on a Tuesday morning and the course was busy but we moved right along. It’s amazing to see the improvements they have made over the years. The fairways are great, the roughs are lush and the greens have recovered from past weather related issues. It was fun to play and we will be back!

Tee Boxes

I felt the course was in great shape other than the tee boxes. If they could be flat, it would make drives more enjoyable. Quite often felt like I was trying to drive differently due to the condition of the tee box.

Great course for the money. Under new ownership the last few years and they are putting work into the course, it’s coming along nicely. Pretty simple layout, but a fun course to play and work on your game. Greens are big and easy. A few holes need some work, but in a few years they will be in good shape. Pricing is great as well, one of the less expensive courses to play in the atea and makes it one of the better values for the price point. Usually wide open as well, so singles can get out and cruise through.

Lost Nation - June 14

Overall, the course is in really good condition. Several of the greens appear to have some type of issue/disease. Looks like management is attempting to resolve the issue.

Greens were terrible

Have always liked this course, but this trip the greens were not in very good shape,. Lots of dead spots, but more than anything a recent aeration made then awful to putt on. Despite that it was a reasonable price to pay and with a little attention the greens can be made very playable.
