Well maintained course

Course was well maintained and the staff was very friendly. The refreshment cart came around quite often. Greens we're very good and the bunkers were well racked. Always go to this course at least once a year.

Great times on a great course

Hughes creek is a fun 18 hole course nestled into the far west suburbs of Chicago. Lined with beautiful homes and farm fields, Hughes offers a fun yet challenging experience throughout its 18 holes. Each hole is designed to challenge mid to high handicappers with tough yardages and pin placements but still offer the abilities for beginners and experienced golfers to have fun. Wonderfully maintained greens and fairways offer a pleasant experience for all golfers young and old. Bring a friend or link up with new people. Hughes is a great way to enjoy golf in its best form.

Pros:

1. Great layout to challenge all levels

2. Greens are elevated and well maintained.

3. Great restaurant and bar

4. Friendly staff

Cons:

1. Pace of play is usually pretty slow, I’d say my average round time is 4.5 hours or more

2. Inexperienced golfers usually leave divots in greens

3. No driving range but a nice chipping and putting green

4. Very limited balls and tees etc in clubhouse for purchase

Well worth the money and always so much fun! I play it regularly!

Overall Nice

Overall, the course and play was good. The staf was friendly (at the desk) however one of the grounds keeper mowed two of our balls ON THE VERY HOLE we were playing. That alone makes me feel like they aren’t very high quality on EXPERIENCE. I won’t go back because of the distance but also because I don’t like losing $6 balls to a mower.

Great Service/Slow Play/Average Course

From start to finish all the employees here were just fantastic and desired that you to have the best experience possible. The course is a fairly mundane parkland course suffering from a number design and routing errors. The tee shots on 2, 4 and 5 are ridiculously tight and overly treed up so your weekend warriors quickly put up some very high numbers that slow play considerably. Plus if you've never played the 4th and 5th good luck. Inexplicably to reach both front nine par 3 tees you drive back into play requiring a sharp eye/hardhat. If you get through 5 you'll have some scoring chances. Same with the back nine with 11th a long par 3 and then you have back to back well over 400 yard uphill par 4's. Both nines finish with picturesque uphill par 4's to plateau greens. Greens were rolling decently except pretty ripped up from golfers not being careful walking on them. Fairways rough and traps all in decent shape too. The starter/ranger attempted to get play moving but was unsuccessful...wasn't his fault. Our back nine slowed to crawl despite when making turn where it was clear that the 14th and 15th hole (and likely more) were completely devoid of golfers. First year as part of our Golfvisions players pass book since Settler's Hill is closed for renovations and that's why we played it. I tend to not have Hughes Creek on my must play every season list but will recommend it for play once a year due to the outstanding employee service we experienced. Hughes Creek just doesn't contain any holes that I have to play again and again. Decent place but a $30-$35 value.

Nice course. Several interesting holes. Be careful on #5. One of my favorites in the Chicago area. No range though.
