Nice Course
The course was excellent to play on. I was a bit concerned because of the number of league folks that where ahead of us. What should have took 2-2.5 hours took 4 hours to complete.
Great beginners course
Great time at this course. Great people as well. !!
Great Value!
This is a great course for the average player. It is wide open and has long fairways. There are no sand traps and very little water hazards. The tee boxes, fairways and rough are in great shape but the greens are bumpy (more from uneven mowing than divots). I paid $19 with a gas cart on a Fri (twilight rate) which is really a fantastic deal.
It was my first time playing there. My friend and had great time.. Staff was very friendly. I would play there again and recommend to others..
Thank you for the feedback, we are extremely happy to hear you enjoyed your round with us and look forward to having you back again soon!
Mosquitolark
Bring bug spray, but a great course. Long open fairways
We are thrilled to hear your enjoyed your round at Meadowlark! We are not a big fan of the mosquito's either, but we are definitely glad to see warm weather in Chicago. We look forward to having you play with us again soon!
Nice course for the price
The course was in really nice shape. It was very straightforward. The only complaint is pace of play was extremely slow due to how busy the course was.
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the conditions of the course. Beautiful weather and good conditions lead to a higher volume of golfers and a slower pace than is typical for the course. We are actively working on a pace of play communication program to quicken the pace and improve the golfing experience. We look forward to seeing you playing again soon!
Average public course
The cost and two par 5's attracted me, but the conditions of the course were very low. Every green had holes too large to be ball marks. They looked as though somene took a garden trowel and dug holes all over every green. I had never seen anything like it. In the end the 9th green was more moss than grass.
Pace of play was slow due to the high age of most of the golfers. It seemed that there were a large number of retirees with low skill and nowhere else to be. The layout was good, although there is almost a complete lack of bunkers. There is water on a few holes, but those hazards aren't in play for most golfers. Other than some trees along the fairways, it's hard to find trouble.
For the money, there are certainly better 9 hole courses around - Downers Grove, Flagg Creek, even Western Acres. Try it once if you need to cross it off the list, but you'd be a fool to go twice.
Thank you for your review and we apologize about the turf conditions at the course. Unfortunately, geese have been known to dig holes in the ground in search of food, leading to the marks you saw on the course last week. The superintendent and entire agronomic team is on a quest to return the turf conditions back to our high standards; we are working hard every day to get them back in great shape. The day you visited was one of the first warm days of the spring and we had a very busy course that day. We actively encourage each guest to keep pace, but there are times when certain guests struggle to keep up. We look forward to seeing you again, as it will be our goal to make your experience a better one!
Long 9 hole course
Long but forgiving 9 hole course. Greens a little chewed up in some areas, but this early in the season they were actually in pretty good shape.
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.
great layout and design
the greens are too slow; course layout and design is great; the staff is excellent; location is convenient
Meadowlark
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
Great course conditions.
The course was in great condition after all the rain we got in the past few weeks.
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!
