Hughes Creek

Facility under new ownership/management this year, and definitely not up to par! Drinks greatly increased and overpriced, clubhouse dirty, and bathrooms unkept and dirty, golf carts not clean, course littered with debris and in need of care. This was a beautiful course and facility that has now gone into a downward spiral with the new management. It is being managed poorly.

Sporty and Scenic course

Played on a beautiful fall day which happened to be June 22nd. Low 70's, windy and clear. Finished in less than 4 hours and thoroughly enjoyed the round. The layout is interesting with a few brute par 4's and some easy ones. Fairways were in pretty good condition considering the lack of rain the past 2 months, and the green were fast. Only drawbacks are the lack of a driving range and the kitchen is closed for the year. The cart girl, Anne, was very friendly and attractive. Out in the country and very scenic. It has houses bordering some holes, but they are way back and no danger of hitting one.

VERY FAIR PRICE

good layout other than the 4th hole which is the worst in Chicago. Turn into a par 3 and move on.

First Time Playing

This course is a nice course but the manager was a name I apparently can’t say on here. Kept saying we weren’t playing fast enough but we had to wait on a group in front of us at one point. He made us skip a hole after we let a group play through. I get the etiquette of playing golf and I have never had a manager be so rude. So of course this upsets a guy and then you start playing bad. The manager ended up buying us a drink at the turn but honestly he didn’t have to be so impatient with us. Just my opinion. I won’t return to this course which should make him happy anyway.

No singles allowed

I have played this course at least 30 times the last two years but new management no longer wants singles. They have openings but won’t let you meet up with an existing group. Same thing at Tanna farms which I played 20 times last year. Tanna has all kinds of openings but won’t let me play. There are plenty of courses that will take my money for the 50 rounds I play each year.

Fun Track

I just love this little gem out in Elburn. Course really fits my eye. I feel it’s a very forgiving course yet challenging. You don’t get punished too bad for miss hits and the greens were in great shape; rolling very true.

I’d return!

First time playing Hughes Creek. Enjoyed the course layout and setting. Course conditions were good, though the sand traps could use some attention. Overall, it was a good golf experience. I’d return (though it’s a long drive for me to get there from the NW burbs)

New Management

They’ve run other courses into the ground. Now, they’re doing the same at Hughes Creek. It’s a real shame.

Good Track, reasonably l-maintained, Friendly Staff

Greens in excellent condition, several fairways need urgent repairs -- especially, #2, #4, 5. Almost every tee box is in bad shape. The cart path overall in dangerously bad condition. Too many potholes, deep enough to jar your vertebral column. Must repair the paths immediately.
