Open greens/fairways great for beginner to handicap golfer

Greens were nice and open, great for beginner golfers working on drivers. Found most of the balls hit poorly. Took the cart option, holes average 300+ yards and most are par4/5 holes

My boy, 6 yr old, had a blast as well. Great pace as well.

Beautiful 9 hole course.

What more can I say

Best course for 90% of golfers out there. If you think you’re too good for the Lark, think again. You’re prolly that guy with the new SIM2 set posting 135s at a $100 track but tel your friends you shot a 87 because of all the grease missles you hit. If you’re coming to the Lark and have basic inferencing skills, you should know what you’re getting into. So for anyone leaving a bad review on here I say to you sir or madam go clean your iron covers and find a 3 some to ask if you can play with..bag alert!

A Cheeky Lil Round At the Lark

Clear skies, Luscious lies...hello friends And welcome to a tradition unlike any other. Thee Lark. Good spot for an early morning foray thru triple bogey boulevard or maybe you just need a spark. Get that spark with your daily dose of Lark.

It’s a long 9 in more ways than one

3250 yards from the white tees is plenty long for a muni 9 ..... but 3 hours to get around makes for a looooong 9.

It’s long

It’s a long 9 hole course, but it’s your average muni course in every way, sans the extra length. Conditions are park district quality, layout is flat, long, dull - pace is rough. But they do have these crazy “golf boards” so I guess that’s something.

Love the Lark

We love coming to the Lark to golf. Can't beat the price, especially if you have the forest preserve card. We save $6 with each play. We usually play twice a week. Sure, the fairways are a little rough right now but Earl at the course is doing an outstanding job in trying to improve things. The tee boxes are great, nothing torn up. The majority of leaves have been removed along with twigs and branches, which makes finding your ball much easier. Also, the aprons around the green and the greens themselves are in terrific shape.Sure. sometimes play can be slow but this is mainly due to the amount of play this course gets. A lot of golfers play here, so yes, it does get crowded. In addition, golfers need to be courteous as well. If you see that you are holding things up, let quicker golfers proceed ahead if possible, hit only one ball, and limit the amount of time you look for your ball or measure your putts. These are the little things that can help to move things along and keep golfers behind you, happy. Keep in mind, everyone is trying to do their best and enjoy their round of golf! So kudos to Scott, Mike, and Earl for doing a tremendous job at Meadowlark!

Are you kidding me with the Soccer Golf???

The soccer golf absolutely ruined the round. Flags and soccer players everywhere. It was quite annoying. I won't be back!

Hello, we are sorry to hear that footgolf impacted your round. Our staff does their best to make sure that footgolf rounds do not impact golf rounds. Since they do share the same course, we may see some crossover but that is rare. We appreciate your feedback and would like the chance to talk to you directly about your experience.
