A Bit of a Drive from Ohare, but worth it

This is a wonderful course, though in the beginning we had a group in front more interested in the gambling points. prox etc.. than pace of play, by the 4th hole they and us, were a hole and a half behind the next group.

The Ranger came by and was very courteous, we explained the huge time they were spending on the greens, he watched them , spoke with them and they sped up their play, still was a 4 1/2 hour round but it was perfect and crowded. This course and its owners and staff were all great we will plan to play there once or twice a year

Wild turkey spotted

course was in good shape except for sand traps. all seemed to have weeds growing in sand trap near edges, Big pebbles and some rocks in sand traps! some sand traps have been removed such as hole 15 and 16, leaving spotty weeds and grass growing. Overall excellent playing conditions.

Hidden Beauty

This course is worth every penny. As nice and difficult as any my friends and I play. If it were closer we would play it much more often...

This course offers a wide range of challenges

This was my 3rd time playing this course. I like the scenery and the surroundings. Each hole offers a certain amount of challenges, but nothing too difficult. The greens appeared to be in excellent condition along with the tee boxes. I will be coming back and have already recommend this course to a friend

Sand traps

I and three other guys played the course about two weeks ago and found it in. EXCELLENT condition. I told several of my friends that they should play a round at this course. I was most impressed by the conditions of the neatly racked sand traps! Sadly to say, I played yesterday with my wife and stepson and found the course was in great shape except for all of the sand traps. I went into the clubhouse at the end of our round and said this same concern to the young guy working there at that time. He said he would pass that information on. I plan to come back soon. and I hope the sand traps are in a respectable condition.

What a turnaround!

After being closed and unmaintained for awhile, this course is back and better than before. Fairways are nicely cut and the greens are meticulous. Overall, this course is in really nice shape.

Still the same layout. Hills, blind greens, and forgiving fairways. I think the higher level golfer could find a challenge or two here.

One bone picking is the lack of yardage markers in the fairways. You need to guess yourself or use a tool. But we did our best guessing, which didn't end up too bad.

Hilly...

Beautiful course. Very hilly so you definitely need the course guide on the score card if you've never played there.
