Surprise gem up north!

Really enjoyed playing here for the first time. Many elevation changes and the greens were fairly quick. All in all a very interesting course to play and one I will come back to.

Fall Sunday

Course was in good shape and not very busy.

Still didn't get in all 18 holes by sunset with a 1:40 Tee time. Golf Now and course should offer twilight rates somewhere between the 9 and 18 hole rate when afternoon tee times make mid and high handicap golfers unlikely to finish.

Bathroom looked very clean but did not smell clean

예상치 못한 즐거움을 주었습니다!!!

시카고 서버브의 수많은 골프장을 가봤지만, 여기만큼 재미있는 코스는 보지 못한 거 같습니다. 대부분의 코스가 핀을 직접 볼 수 없도록 오르막내리막으로 이루어져 있어서, 처음 간 우리는 샷을 하는 데 어려움을 겪어야 했습니다. 하지만 매우 재미있게 플레이했습니다. 꼭 한번 플레이해보시길 추천합니다.

다만, 코스 관리는 좀 신경 써야될 것같았습니다. 페어웨이와 러프가 구분이 안될 정도로 페어웨이를 깎지 않았고. 중간에 있는 휴게소의 화장실에서는 안좋은 냄새가 많이 납니다. 어쨌든 우리는 매우 즐겁게 플레이를 했습니다. 굿!

Slow round at 9:30am

The group in front of us was fine, but the two groups in front of them were awful and slow. I am fine with new golfers or whatever, but it took almost 6 hours to play a round that started at 9:30am. Apparently the foursome that was causing the slowdown were friends of the owner so no one could say anything. When I went in to complain, I was kicked out. We even had one of the rangers that works there that couldn't get the course going so.....won't be back!

Another slow day

Tee boxes were okay but need work. Fairways and greens in good condition. Sand traps, except for one, in good condition. That particular trap was considered ground under repair. Beverage cart found us numerous times.

Unfortunately the pace of play had us about 25 minutes behind a normal round.
