Oak Grove Golf Course

This is a little known Golf Digest 4 star course. I’ve enjoyed two fall rounds at a great value $30-$40 with cart. This course demands your full game and attention. There are long holes and there are many target hold shots required like a 6 iron off a tee in a par 5! It’s a challenge from all tee boxes.

The greens were not very good as they were aerated and significantly covered with sand.

Backed up at tee 1, waited 30 minutes before teeing off. 3 hours to get to hole 9, gave up and left after hole 12 due to terribly slow pace of play

Overbooked, pace of play awful, no ranger to control pace or drunken foul mouthed players, called the club house for help but was told nothing they can do. Although like the course and value, not going back.

So nice for a gorgeous course at a great value that offers peace and quiet compared to typical Chicago suburban courses. I always check on availability at Oak Grove first before looking at other courses!

Tee times 7 min apart and first 6 holes played in ~18 min each. Play was so slow that we decided to play the front 9 twice as there was no one on one when we drove by on way to 10. Never saw the back 9. No ranger. No sand in many of the traps.

This is a beautiful course that I might try again on a weekday.

This is clearly a top notch golf course and maintained at the highest left. The crew was cutting fairways at 1pm and stopped every time for golfers. Even the leave blower was out to ensure no debris on the course. If you need length the pro tees are over 7000 and that's if you can find them because there's some hidden ones. Greens were fast but so true. The only thing lacking is the clubhouse/food...only 15 min drive from LG and it plays extremely tough if have windy conditions. Again I can't see how LG can charge so high when courses like this are 15 minutes away. Please see and enjoy this well kept secret course only minutes away. You'll thank me for saving you $100 and have money to spend on dinner in LG.

Course is overall goods lots of blind tee shots so first time playing it is difficult off the tee picking lines. Greens were nice not very fast though The course has a lot of holes that sit low so can be very soft.
