Great Shape in early Fall

Course has some short holes (288-320 par 4s) and shorter par 5's but decent amount of elevation changes and some narrow chutes. Grass in fairway and tees was excellent and greens were in very good condition. Green, consistent and rolled true. Pace of play on a weekday afternoon was pretty good but didn't see any ranger on the course. Definitely worth the price.

Great Course

Being from FL, I have relatively high expectations but reasonable. I was rather impressed with the conditions and layout of the course. Any complaints I’d offer are likely the way golf courses are in the area. I would definitely recommend giving this course a shot.

Playing Hickory Hills South Course for the first time

Visiting friends in Chicago and had a morning to be able to play golf. 10 Hcp from Cincinnati. The course was very enjoyable. Really liked the terrain and layout. Greens were pretty pure, but land above the hole with the slope of those greens - had a few three putts! Would definitely play this course again should the opportunity arise.

Pleasant Surprise

Great course and a pleasant surprise. It was a busy Sunday morning so a little slow on the front 9 but overall great day and was much faster on the back 9. I would recommend this to friends playing and we definitely would come back.

Stay away

Just look at the rental clubs. Had I not just paid $45 to Uber there, I would not have played and I wish I wouldn’t have. It was useless with those clubs. It would have been nice when I called to confirm clubs were available, if they would have been upfront about the condition. You know something like,”The clubs aren’t bad for a random collection from the lost in found in 1987.” Also, I saw people playing barefoot, could hear music blaring from various fairways, got hit into multiple times from players on different holes. I could go on, but you get it. Stay away.

How soon can they close this?

This course used to be a private club. It should have just been closed when it failed instead of trying to make it public. Clearly no $ go into course maintenance. Doesn’t drain well. Weird hole layouts. $70/round for this is a joke. Etc Etc.

Payed for 18 holes. But when we got there we were told there was a league playing and we would have to play the back 9 twice instead of 1 through 18 like it should be.
