The pace of play was awful. Many times we were waiting to tee off on a hole with three other groups. Rangers were not doing their job.

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...
