Reviews
Poor Conditions
The place seems like it doesn't get taken care of that well. Roughs were insanely deep, like major tournament deep, made no sense. Greens were in poor shape. Would not play again.
Good Golf
My boys and I enjoyed the course layout and pace of play was great. We finished in 3 hours. Great value for your money, the staff was friendly and helpful.
course not ready yet
I usually like this course. But after the long winter, the course is not ready yet. There was no difference between fairway and rough. The course needs some care. Hopefully, it will be ready in a few weeks.
Good Course Good Value
The course conditions are good, esp. for the price. Need more yardage markers - at the very least every par 4 and par 5 should have a 150 yard marker.
Staff was Rude
This course is fine in terms of conditions. Not beautiful but not unkept either. What ruined it for me was the service. The older gentleman in the clubhouse was grumpy and disrespectful to not only myself, but the other patrons who were paying ahead of me. On top of this, the beverage cart driver passed my group 3+ times without stopping. How about some employees who are excited about golf on a Saturday? An angry cashier doesn’t set the tone for players to have a fun day.
Terrible experience
My 11 year old son and I played there yesterday. It's mid-April and there was zero work done to manicure the golf course! There was no distinction between the fairway and the rough. None. There were downed tree branches everywhere. This place hasn't cut the grass since at least last year. At the turn, we decided it was unplayable. We asked for the a refund on the back nine and they refused. They didnt even offer a rain check for a later date. When I said the course was not playable, the response was "It's April what do you expect." Well, every other Illinois course is in shape to play! If you're not, then you should warn the golfers before hand that the course is in very poor shape. The response was completely un professional and insulting. I will never come back to play here again.
Shaggy!
Nice course. More expensive than past. No Ranger,🤷♂️ Shaggy tees and long rough. Hard to find balls. Could be a really good track with a little bit of care!. Cut the Grass!!!
Re visit after a couple of years
Course layout is nice, some changes were made. Much fairer, now that the 10th hole is a par 5, rather than a par 4.
Nice course
The course overall is in good shape. The tee boxes need to be tended to a bit more. Always enjoy playing here.
Very Pleasant Day on the course
Very enjoyable course. It was fair, but challenging. Greens were okay, but not sensational. Very, very enjoyable. A very good value.
Great day, had a great time. Played at the right time. No one ahead of us and no one behind us.
Needs lots of help
Fairways were in good shape. Rough full of dandelions and was cut way to high to find balls that rolled off fairway into early rough stages. Greens were in sad shape lots of browning.
Worth it for the money
It's a muni course. Back 9 is in better condition than the first 9. It is a good value for the money.
