Forest preser fun
Fun forest preserve course. Short but has interesting challenges mainly with traps. Although, when dried out, the greens can be tricky and fast

Beginners slowed the whole course down
5 1/2 hour round due to two foursomes of complete beginners holding up the pace. There was no ranger to speed things up …. we were finally able to jump them on full 13, skip two holes to finish in 5 1/2 hours. Ridiculous To occur on a Thursday afternoon. There were five or six holes open in front of this group.

TLC
Aerated greens, grass to high on tee boxes also sand traps held water. Sand traps should have been drained and mechanically raked. Course has a good layout but a little TLC goes along way in having a better experience as well as a better round of golf.

Slow as usual
The course is not monitored and therefore it is slooooow! Not just because it’s preseason because it’s always like that. I only went there because it was relatively cheap and it’s March.. They do have golf scooters though which is a lot of fun. I don't know if I will go back.
