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.

Hidden Gem

Its quite a drive out of the city but a very nice course , some of the par 4's are very short and the par 5's are all reachable in 2 . The greens are in great shape and faster than most. There are quite a few elevated tee's and greens which is always nice. I'd definitely play here again
