Always a fun round
Fairways need some water and the sand needs some love. Always a great time when we play here regardless.
Butchered fairways lol
Yeah not worth $70 at all lol maybe 40… all the fairways are brown and dead. It’s pretty bad lol walkers all over the course is absolutely dreadful and grueling for pace of play. Good luck
The course was in pretty nice shape. The greens were in great shape. Some parts of the fairways were brown spots no rain but didn’t come in to play.
Good time
The course was in good shape. The greens were fair for the middle of summer. Played nine and the skies opened up with a storm. Received a rain check. Will finish the back nine. Overall a good experience.
Excellent
Beautiful course and very challenging will definitely play again
Fairways and greens are in very good condition
Bunkers are crusty and rough
Tee boxes are not level
The rough is at a reasonable level
Very hot at 95F, so crowds were small
The course was in very good condition. Especially the greens.
Well done
Course was in great condition. If I had to comment on something? The tee boxes were good shape , but hard to get tees in ground . Greens rolled pretty true .
Nothing quite like it in NW Suburbs
My favorite course. Yes, partially because of the very wide and forgiving fairways, but also because it's beautiful and you don't feel like you're in the suburbs. Every hole provides it's own type of challenge. Okay maybe #16 and #18 are a little too alike. It's a great course and was in good condition after a very heavy rain the day before. Can't wait to play again.

Fun course
I always enjoy playing here. Decent layout, good mix of yardage. To be fair, was raining that morning so conditions weren't up to par, soggy fairways, and spike marks on greens. Hope they take care of the fairways and greens.
Thanks for the great review. We cant wait for the rain to slow down a bit. Hope you get back on the course soon.

Love the layout
This course has its moments of being challenging. Played a day after heavy rains and it was still playable greens , fairways were a bit soggy. Overall this didn’t affect any play. It’s well maintained for a county ran course.
Thank you for the kind words. We pride ourselves on offering the best possible conditions and providing a fun and enjoyable experience. Hope we see you back out on the course soon.

Horrible Bunkers
One of the players that I was paired up with shared his opinion of the bunker conditions to me. He always says he pulls his ball out of the bunker. The course is loaded with bunkers and it is inevitable that you will land in many for an average golfer. 95% of the bunkers that I landed in were like playing off of concrete. Every shot I played in a bunker was embarrassing! I would like to play there again if I knew that the bunkers had soft sand; otherwise, I would probably pass on playing there again. The course is very long compared to most courses. Not a course that is senior friendly or to a typical average golfer.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us the 4 star review. We pride ourselves in providing the best conditions we can so the comment about the bunkers will be taken very seriously.
I think you will see a turnaround on bunker conditions on your next visit.
Thanks again
