Pretty good for November

This course is always open. Had great weather for November. The greens were slow but that’s expected for this time of year. This course has a great layout and is setup for anyone to play. This could be a championship course by narrowing the fairways and adding a few more bunkers. As it’s set up now, it is one of the most forgiving courses off the tee.

Nice time

I really enjoyed our round this afternoon. The course was in good shape considering it was November. Fun course with some challenging dog legs. Will definitely come back. Thank you.

Overall a very good course

My only complaint is the high number of unfixed ball marks on the greens. I know I fixed over 50! The staff should have some sort of campaign to encourage the public to take better care of this nice course.

Need to have a ranger out there for pace of play. Greens were in horrible shape and the fairways left a lot to be desired. Too many nice courses out there to even think about playing again as is.

Pleasantly Surprised

Never playing here before, wasn’t really sure what to expect, but like for the most part what this course has to offer. The course has a nice layout, with a very good mix of short and long holes, a few dogleg holes, with most greens guarded with bunkers. There a few water hazards on the course, but other than a couple holes, really should not come into play. Course conditions are not too bad, but being a forest preserve course, it probably gets lots of play, so at the time of the year I played some of the greens were showing some wear, but still rolled well.

Over priced

Bought a 4 some package. One person didn't show due to being sick. Was forced to take on a 4th, and was not reimbursed the 65 dollars.

This course does not care about your experience. They have 10 minute gaps between tee times regardless of party size. You will just get hounded by the ranger to pick up the pace, and hit on the heels of people in front of you.

Will not play here again.
