GREAT CONDITIONS !!

Course always is in top notch condition. Staff friendly. The biggest problem is trying to get a tee time without booking days ahead of time. Course is pricy but some discount offers on teeoff.com, but too few, they go quickly. My congratulations to the greens keeper and his crew. Great Job!

Didn’t even finish it for safety concerns

No starter Was present and people were just starting whatever they wanted. Significantly overbooked, so people were playing directly into us. After two close calls, we left on hole 3

Rude Staff

Golfed here a few times, do not buy a tee time after 3pm bc they have a rule that carts need to be in by 8:15. I then asked why 8:15, the staff member stated don’t ask me. You lost the that capability bc you are 5 minutes overdue and it’s bc it’s a rule and you are being rude, I then said I didn’t think it was rude to ask a question on the reason when every other course nearby does not have this rule. He stated I was snarky and I again said no, I just asked why it’s a rule. He stated it was an IL State Law (not sure if that was true or not). I then asked a different member if it was a law to not allow pull carts. The guy who was not loving my questions said that was an option. I stated that was never presented to me and he said it was to your other two plays (whom we did not know) and I said well then I guess I know for next time but it was not said directly to us. We then cleared our cart with three people standing around us who said they were all here bc of us and were now being worked overtime and that they will clear out the garbage (4 items) from our cart. I wanted to say well good bc right now it looks like that overtime means standing there doing nothing but again, not trying to be rude.

Greens are way too slow!!

Beautiful setting and playable golf course for all.

A very short course with some decent challenges. I am a glenview resident and would like to play there more often but the greens are just too slow and it takes away the fun of trying to make putts. Please cut your greens so they are similar to other public courses in the area.

Thank you!

Tight spaces

Overall, I would not recommend this course for an above average to better golfer. They do keep it in good shape and it’s in Glenview so it’s not a hike to get to from the city which I guess they justify the high green fees.

First, the land the course is on is TIGHT!! They probably maximize every square inch of land they can to fit the course in. Except for the weirdly placed instruction area in the middle of 3-4 holes that’s only about 100 yards long. Very weird. It is pretty well tree-lined so I’m sure that helps protect you from errant shots.

Almost every teeing area is surrounded by other tee boxes or greens so you really have to be mindful of your surroundings or else you get a random sound in your backswing. I’m talking within a few yards.

Front 9 has some average length par 4s but the back 9 is really short. Small greens so only having wedges in hand comes in handy I guess.

There were Marshalls on the course that we saw regularly but it just seems like they drive around but don’t manage pace of play. One time, there was a Marshall who parked at one of the holes we were playing and just sat in the shade for a good 30 minutes. Thing is, there were no groups behind us for a good 4-5 holes. We played in 4.5 hours on a late morning tee time on a Thursday.

Awesome Pro shop! And check in! And rangers! Food Triple boggie

Bestest golf staff at Pro shop! Career golf shop staff! Pro is amazing… especially if you get a hole in one! Rangers are good; keep everyone on time.

Restaurant needs to be reminded they also serve golfers at the beginning of a round and at the turn. Food is cold, not packed for a golfer on a cart, getting it takes forever.

CPO notification

On a really nice fall day when we haven't had raim for a number of days we checked in at the pro shop for our Hot Deal which included a cart. We waited half an hour after our time (total time there 1 hour) due to early frost delay. No problem. When we're called to the tee we're told it's cart path only. Why not tell golfers this at the pro shop? I would have preffered to walk than take the cart. No aparent reason for this. The course was dry and in great shape. Less than pleased with the level of communication.
