Excellent Layout, Nice elevation changes

This course has a great design with elevated tees and greens. Hole #6 is a a gem. Fast greens and very good fairways, Will come back again.

I hope the management will keep repairing the cart paths. (Current state is not good for senior vertebral columns)

The course usually plays slower than most courses. There is no ranger. The yardage on the scorecard is not even close.as a senior that I is ok with me. However, if you are looking to play a 6000 yard course, you might want to play another course.

Fun hilly course

Fun spot, lots of hills and tight fairways make this 6k course tougher than it looks. Not many traps, some water comes into play. The trees are what you need to avoid. Lot of holes stacked on top of each other so look out.

Best Round of the (Early) New Year

Hello, This is the great course. Period. I have played five times this early spring, and in early April in Northern Illinois, most of the courses have not maintained their greens very well. Often, the player is brushing off tree leftovers, and it makes putting difficult, but not here. The greens are in great shape, the fairways are in the great shape, the carts are awesome…I don’t have enough good things to say for my round today. I will be back.

2 Hours thru hole 5/ No refund given

Joke of a day- took 2 hours to get through 5 holes, We drove off the course after waiting on the 6th tee box for a good 14 minutes. Complete clusterfuck of a day. Booked a tee time and then had to tee off 45 minutes later than expected- should have asked for a refund then. After driving off the course- I called the pro shop and asked for a refund with a voice mail or a raincheck. No return call ever was returned. Caveat emptor- place feels like a money grab. Beautiful course and the greens were in good condition- not a ranger to be seen all day though.

Unique layout with plenty of elevation changes

Somewhat challenging course with elevation change(s) on every hole. Nothing like this in our area. Each hole is distinct and interesting.

Excellent Layout! One of the best in the area. Needs better maintenance

One of the best public courses in the area. Elevated tees and greens. Contour changes are intriguing and challenging. I would go back again! Will recommend to any serious golfer. Although the course needs some better maintenance, I imagine it would be in better condition when spring comes. Cart GPS needs better tuning. It locked up twice while I was on the cart path and indicated to stay on the cart path ! Had to reverse for a while to unlock!
