About
Bittersweet Golf Club in Gurnee, Ill. is ideally situated for a scenic round of golf. The diverse landscape flows seamlessly from lush wetlands to native prairies covered with colorful wildflowers. The layout also winds across a 100-year-old sage meadow and through forests of mature hardwoods, which serve as a home to an abundance of wildlife. Beyond the beautiful scenery, the terrain presents many challenges. The undulating fairways demand accuracy as you hit from multi-tiered tee boxes. Water also comes into play on almost every hole and there's an array of strategically placed bunkers you'll have to avoid. The eighth is the toughest hole on the front nine, a par-4 dogleg right with a lightning fast green. Bittersweet Golf Club's back nine is known for its scenery, which is best displayed on the signature par-5 11th hole, which offers not only a challenge but also a spectacular view from the tee.

Brutal
Brutal. Tee boxes trashed. Pace of play brutal. Not worth the money
Bittersweet
Challenge course for me and my golf mates where we sharpen our accuracy
Service Was Off Today
I play here a couple of times per season and usually feel welcomed, respected and receive good service. Today was off. From the moment I walked in the pro shop the attendant was rude and short. My 4some was behind a 2some on the front but at the turn we pulled up on a 4some teeing off that we never saw in front of us. While using the bathroom which took all of 2 mins I inquired if they were letting groups off of the back because someone was in front of us. She very rudely responded that they had just stopped at the turn and was just now teeing off. We learned from the out of turn 4some that they had been at the bar after the front 9 for 20 mins!!! This undoubtedly resulted in the rest of the round being slow. With no ranger anywhere in sight. $72 is too much for that type of service on white i consider a mediocre golf course.

It is a shot makers course. Most missed long, right or left will be lost. Bring balls as you might lose a bunch
The course is in great shape and the cart women was fantastic
Bittersweet Course
Bitter because of the challenges it presents and sweet since rewarding when played on
One of our favorite courses.
Weather was hot and humid and the pace was very good. We played our round under four hours. Course was in good condition. Tee boxes and fairways were soft from the rain from the day before. Greens were fast. Enjoy the round very much.
Top notch.
Great course, tough as nails but as beautiful as it should be. Very impressed.
First 2026 round at Bittersweet
Course was in good condition from tees to greens. Greens were rolling well and good speed. It was very crowded and the pace was very slow. It took us nearly 5 hours to complete our round. A marshal would be handy on really busy days to make sure everyone is moving at a decent pace.
