9th hole cart path fairway Photo submitted by HOTSPOTTS on 05/09/2018
Course conditions so poor its hard to rate
The course has no fairways. The cloverfield (not grass) "fairway" was ankle deep and the same cut as the rest of the course. Where it was cut the clippings were deep. I hit down the middle and lost 4 balls on the first 3 holes as I couldn't even find my hot pink balls in the fairway. I actually left the course after 6 holes
If I could give negative stars I would.
Fairways= 3-6 inches high
Rough= 6+ inches high
Tee Box= i couldnt use my 3.5 inch tees because the grass was too high
Greens= 1/2 inch+ high, missing grass in some spots
I walked off the course after 2 holes, will never return. This course has character and would be fun to play if they took care of it. But there nothing nice I can say about my experience.
Course in very bad condition
I tried to play a round of golf with my cousin on Sunday. We had to walk and that’s no problem but the fairways was in extremely bad condition. You could not tell where the fairway was. The grass was super high and thick. Between the both of us and the people on the course was losing balls in the fairway because it was not manicured. Very disappointed with this course and I don’t see my self ever going there again.
Tough Conditions
- Golfed a 6 a.m. tee time.
- Manage expectations.
- Chicagoland has received a lot of rain, so it's understandable that mowing has probably been tough. With that said, I've never seen grass longer in the fairways than I did today.
- Would hit great drives and simply could not find the ball in the grass.
- LOTS of water on the course; hopefully it will dry up.
Goat Ranch
In the 40+ years of golfing, this is the worst kept course I’ve EVER played. Fairways and rough not cut for weeks. Pins on greens not put back after cutting.
Tall grass on Fairways. Poor condition greens. Muddy fairway
By far the worst
Can't count how many balls I lost in the fairway. They need to cut the grass more.
What a joke
Upon arriving for my tee time that I booked at 4 pm on Tuesday 5/19 I was told that when I called to book it for Saturday at 9 am I really booked it for the day I called. Yes... I WAS TOLD WHAT I SAID BY A PERSON I DID NOT TALK TO WHEN I BOOKED. I was then told they would squeeze us in since we showed up. Huh??? Makes no sense whatsoever. In any case, I let it slide since I wanted to play....
Mistake on all parts. To say this is the worst course I’ve ever played is an insult to the worst courses out there. This is not a course. It’s a grass field where livestock should be roaming. Losing balls on fairways, knee high rough, and poor treatment by the staff who feel like lying to a customer is the best way to cover up their mistakes. And to charge 40 dollars??? Criminal.
Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy, let alone friends. I’d give it negative stars if possible.
This course should not be open
It’s criminal that this course can charge money to play. Absolutely terrible conditions and shouldn’t even be open. No fairways, 2 ft rough, awful greens. Don’t waste your time or Monday. We quit after 4 holes.
Terrible course. Completely ungroomed
We actually had a major problem with this course. There was no fairways only rough on every single hole. There was no good shot to be had. Even down the middle you'd go look for the ball and could not find it. We talked to a few other groups that were having the same exact problem. Very miserable front 9 we left after 9 holes because it was so hard to play here
Just Don’t Do It
This is the worst course I’ve ever played and frankly should be taken off of this app. There are no fairways, 4 inches of grass. You’ll lose balls you drive straight down the fairway because the grass is so long. It’s a goat pasture. I wouldn’t pay $15 to play this course. You better factor in the cost of a box of balls to your round because you’ll lose them. Unreal how little care.
This is the worst course I have ever played. I could take better care of the place with a push lawnmower. Even if you hit the ball in the “fairway” there is a good chance you aren’t going to find it the grass/weeds are so overgrown. I don’t think that I would play here again even if it were free.
Waste of Money
This is by far the worst course I have ever golfed. They shouldn’t even be allowed on the GolfNow app. To charge $40 to play in a cow pasture is robbery. There are no fairways, only rough. The grass is up to your ball even when tee’d up on the tee boxes. Greens....what greens? Terrible shape, ball bounces doesn’t roll. The owner of this course should be ashamed.
Hickory Hills
Course is normally a nice course. Today it was horrible. There were no fairways. Balls hot down the middle of the so called fairway were lost some of the times. If you hit it in to the rough, forget it.
Greens were half way decent.
They need to work on the course conditions before they allow people to play. It was like a cow pasture.
This could be a really nice course. Today it was full of water throughout. Should have considered not allowing people to play today like other courses.
Don’t do it!
My buddy and i decided to play this course despite the reviews. We figured people might be over exaggerating but they were not AT ALL. This course is not well kept. It’s sad because it is a really good course layout and has so much potential but they are not taking care of it. Not worth $40-60 per round. If they lowered cost to $20 i still might not even go back out. You could literally be nailing the fairway and still not find your ball because the grass is so high. Unbelievable! Don’t waste your money. The greens are super rough. Ball is bouncing instead of gliding smooth.
Course not mantained
Not worth the drive. The fairway is no different from the rough. Impossible to find balls even on good shots. The green doesn’t roll evenly.
The worst course I’ve ever played
I read the other reviews, didn’t think it could be as bad as they said. It is. There are no fairways or tee boxes, just rough and more rough. Weeds everywhere. A round here is maybe worth $5 and even then I’m not sure I would do it
