Slow play: result rain
Idiots that stood at their carts for 5 minutes after each hole caused my group to get caught in the rain for our final holes. Also the last holes are filled with mosquitos. Staff are great but wish they could have a ranger to keep things moving.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Pace of Play is important to us and we will double efforts to make sure we are getting around more and keeping the flow moving.
Hope to see you back on the course soon.

Too long for the typical golfer here, they need to move up. Slow. Course should move tee colors forward.
The place is full of golfers who are not good and don’t hit very far. Which is okay! But the tee color positions are too far back, and the golfers are playing way too long for their abilities. Causing VERY SLOW PLAY. Please move the whites up to where the reds are now. I suggest the following arrangement:
Black (replace existing blues)
Blue (replace existing whites)
White (replace existing reds)
Red: new tees at 2000 yards
My course did the same basic thing. People moved up, and pace of play improved! It costs almost nothing, and dramatically improves customer satisfaction.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We will also review your idea on the tees, We have limited tee box space so could be a bit difficult but it is a fine idea.

Alright for a cheap game
Didn’t love the layout of this course - holes are parallel to one another so you have other groups losing balls in your fairway and vice versa. The staff was friendly, no amenities but that’s what you’d expect. It’s fine for a cheap round but it definitely feels like a forest preserve course - wouldn’t plan a day around it but it’s a fair value
Appreciate taking the time to leave us a review. Can do too much about hole locations but would love to hear how we can improve the player experience. Feel free to reach out at info.meadowlark@forestpreservegolf.com with any ideas.

Too slow even for holiday
Holidays bring out idiots. I was one for playing. Two in front played from back tees, hit about 50 yards, took a minute to hit each shot. I quit after 7 holes. Three groups on 8th tee.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We pride ourselves on providing golf for everyone. Sometimes that can bring out beginners and sometimes the low handicapper. We will do our best to make sure pace is moving along. Hope to see you in the near future.
Thank you so much for the 5 star review.
Great value for 9 holes
Greens keeper is exceptional here for a Forest preserve course. Greens in great shape and fairways beautiful. No sand traps an minimal water but I’m told this is longest 9 hole course in IL with two 500 yd Par 5’s. Unlike most 9 hole courses you can air it out. Clubhouse people like Scotty super nice.
Thank you so much for the kind words and the 5 star review. We love our team and they work hard making sure the experience is 5 star every time. Thanks again for the review and hope to see you back on the course soon.
Seemed slow
The greens looked bad...brown and aerated...but putted true. Pace of play seemed slow but finished in about 2 hours. Can't complain...first time I even touched a club this year.
Aeration is just a part of keeping conditions top notch. Greens are already completely healed and greened back up. Hope to see you back on the course soon.
Public Course
Course was in excellent condition! Friendly staff.
Great overall day !!
Definitely will play it again

Nice public course, one water hole, no sand. One of longest courses in state. Scott and Carlos always do a band up job! Thanks
