Pace of Play

If you like waiting to tee off, this is the place to be for a late afternoon/early evening round. In all seriousness however, this place is great but avoid this time as we found ourselves stuck behind very, very slow players today. We opted to skip Hole #1 after watching the 4-some ahead fail to complete it in under 25min-LITERALLY. We started on Hole #2 and eventually were able to complete 7 of the 9 holes today. It would have been nice to have at least ONE ranger out there to move groups along. Other than that, I hope to play this course again, just at different times when the "less experienced, less knowledgeable" golfers are NOT out there. Not a golf snob but show some consideration to your fellow golfers ahead and behind of your group.

Nice course to get nine holes in on an afternoon/early evening. The course has some long par 4/5, but keep in mind that there are no sand traps. A great course for the beginner/intermediate player. A great location with access to the tollway and a few other courses. I recommend this 9 hole course to any golfer. A great experience!

Very Slow Play

I know it was one of the nicest days this spring but course play was very very slow. It started out well. The first 3 holes played at a perfect pace. About the the 4th hole we were waiting. By the 7th hole there were 3 groups in front of us. I know when tee time is after 12 pm to expect slow play but this we ridiculous. We only played 6 out of 9 holes and left because it wasn't worth hanging around for 2 hours to hit the ball another 15 more times. They really need a ranger to keep the pace moving. Maybe it's better in the morning.

Beautiful 9 hole course in the middle of the forest

This is a very pretty 9 hole course for a great price, hidden gem. Not too much trouble but the holes are surrounded by trees , in the fall it provided beautiful views. It's in the middle of a forest preserve so you won't hear (or see) any cars or buildings (maybe on the closing hole).
You will find several wide fairway lined with trees, The greens were in very good condition and rolled pretty nicely. I strongly recommend you book your 9 hole there.

priced right

When we checked in they informed us there was a youth league playing and it would be about a 2 hour game for 9 holes. Well it was more like 2hrs 20mins to play 9. That was the only downside.

Nice 9 Hole Course

Nice course without much of a challenge with a lack of bunkers and water.
Good practice course or to get in a quick round of 9

ok

We got a 12 o clock tee reserved and get there early to find they have no carts and we waited around ten mins before we had to take a cart from another two some. Would not go again. Too expensive for 9 holes

Good Warm-Up

Course is your typical 9-hole golf course. Nothing special but at the same time, its well kept for a public 9-hole. Great for a warm-up round early in the golfing season.

Overpriced farm field

Course is only good for people who are just learning, which is bad for seasoned players. Pace of play is horrendous!
