Home of the blind shot

This is a very hilly course. Just about every hole has blind shots. Accuracy is a must. The course was in great condition. The greens roiled true. The slope of the greens are tough. Must read from every angle. Fairways were in good shape. The bunkers were in great shape. Overall this is a solid course. Will definitely play again. Worth the trip from Naperville.
