worth the drive
Very challenging with errant shots dissappearing into fescue areas Faster than average sloping greens. Clubhouse not anything special but staff was extremely friendly.
Awsome golf course... pace of play a different story
Great golf course in the middle of no where....Its about a half hour from Rockford and McHenry! The golf course is a challenge... Make sure you play from the right tees or it could be torture... They have some of the best par 5s I have ever played. Number 6 down the hill is just wow... It does not play 600 yards at all... The negatives ... there are a couple.... The sand traps were dry with hardly any sand... Pace of play was horrible almost 5 hours on a Saturday afternoon with hardly anyone on the course. There was a group of members in front of our twosome and would not let us pass them to join a 2 some in front of them... Overall, it was great day on a great course!
Great course. Holds all 5 tees well. Beautiful setting. Could easily be a 41/2 to 5 star course
Played on a Wed morning beautiful day and a beautiful course. We play the blue tees and had all we could do at that length. Back tees are pro level. Course should be considered a gem. Built in late nineties it just does not seam to get the praise it deserves. Great value at $44 with cart.
4 1/2 hrs on Sunday - probably average for the course? did not see any rangers.
Nice trail. Wish it was closer-but worth the 1-1/2 hr drive! Could use some better yardage markers on the par 3 tee boxes. And lack of drinking water on the course is a challenge!
very well maintain course and good value
Really enjoyed playing the course. The course is well maintained. A good mix of easy and difficult holes. My second time playing the course. I enjoyed it both time.
Fun, challenging course.
Course is well maintained. It is out in the country and you get a feel that you are a long way from Chicago. Not much of a clubhouse, but the golfing is great!!!
The course made you think off the tee
First time playing the course and will be back. Very nice layout and made you think off each tee in where to place the tee shot. Nice change of pace from the cookie cutter courses. Very affordable price for a great course. Go Play!
A Beautiful day at a great course
This is the second time I have golfed here. The fairways were in
pristine condition. The course is very challenging from the back tees. This is a thinking man's golf course. Placing your shot on several of the holes will yield a good result.
awesome!!!
This is a hidden gem. I've played here many times, and believe me, it's worth the trip. Great layout, always great conditions, and nicest staff you will find anywhere.
Do yourself a favor and play Oak Grove in Harvard
This course is a great value.
This course is challenging with many great features. Many bunkers that do not drain very well even with mild rain - shallow and hard sand. Range available but leaves a bit to be desired. Overall, great value.
Playable course with one tricked up hole.
Course was in overall good condition with a good pace of play. The only drawback was a lack of drinking water available on the course.
a hidden gem
a heavy morning rain stopped when we arrived for our tee time. expecting cart driving restrictions, we were surprised to learn of none. course drained exceptionally well. plenty of course maintenance being performed while we were playing. some blind tee shots and some long par 4s were challenging, but overall our group enjoyed playing. we'll be back
A Real Sleeper
It's 8:30 AM and there are three cars in the parking lot.
You folks in Northern Illinois/ Southern Wisconsin are missing out on a very special place to tee it up. This tract, if it was located in my part of Texas, would be slammed.
The course was originally developed about ten years ago. A huge 5000 employee Motorola plant was built in the area, and this upscale venue was built to support the anticipated boom. The huge plant shut down after only a few years, but the championship golf course is still here.
These 18 holes are a challenge. Several of the longest par fives play directly into the wind. There's plenty of variety with tough par 3's and medium to long par 4's.
The course is in excellent condition. The greens are as smooth as glass. The fairways and tees are full and green.
The course is located in a bird and wildlife sanctuary. There are many wild friends out on this course, but they stay well hidden in the rough.
We were fortunate enough to play with Walt, a member and regular player.
I highly recommend this beautiful course. They have special rates for seniors, and on GolfNow.

One of the great N.Illinois golf courses. Except for the out of the way location, this course is for those looking for a real challenge.
Great Value with all the Specials they have thruout the week. Condition of course was well maintained and greens held and were fast. From Championship tees of 6613 yds., this track has a 73.2 Rating and a Slope of 140! Recommend it to everyone who wants an above average golf experience.
Course needs attention
I play this course at least once a year and seems like the quality is dropping annually. Traps had no sand in them and fgreens were extremely soft( peat mossy). GReens were in bad condition and there is no one out on course to monitor the slow play. I dont want to drive an hour to play a 5 hour round. Price was reasoanble if you get a deal on line but I would nt pay more than $30 for this course and I doubt I will be back becasue of the drive.
Excellent Course, in great shape
I have played this course over the years and keep coming back.
It was well worth it on Friday May 24th. The greens were fast but true, the fairways lush. It also did not hurt that the weather was perfect, mid 60s and sun, no wind!
I took two of my kids paying 35.00 each, it was a great deal for that price.
I'll be back a fw mor times this year!
Nice speed on the greens
Very nice course. A hidden gem. Rough needed to be cut. Sand traps are horrible. Most are hard pan. This was the biggest let down.
