Nice Course of the money

I hate the pace of play issues at this course. They have tee times to close together and it causes backups from the 1st thru 5 tees. It was fathers day however a 6 hour round is a little nuts.

5 hour rounds

Good course not a lot of water. the only problem is that they send groups off too tight and they do NOT enforce any kind of pace of play. Probably the 2nd nicest Forrest Preserve course behind Dunne but would rather spend a few more bucks and get done in 4 hours

Challenging but forgiving

Really enjoyed the course as it is a very well maintained public course but they definitely overbooked. We had a Sunday 10:30 tee time and there was 4 groups in front of us on the first tee. We didn't tee off until 11:00.

for as much play as this course gets, greens are in good shape

super senior rate, course not overly difficult and greens surprisingly in good shape. staff is always friendly. normal pace is generally very slow, would recommend some keep pace ambassadors to speed up play.

This course is easy to play

All and all the course was in decent shape except for the bunkers which were all unkeep. They looked like they haven't been raked since the spring. The course is great for the average play, but way to way to easy for a low handicapper.

County Golf Back on the Radar

It was not too long ago that the Cook county Illinois courses were in disrepair and in need of face lifting, in particular, Highland Woods. Now operated by a private company, Highland Woods is in the best shape since its inception nearly 40 years ago. The greens were properly mowed and fairly fast, generally the bunkers were consistent and playable. The overall conditions of the grounds were acceptable with minimal grounds under repair. I would play the course again and recommend any of the discounted times available through Golf Now.

Nice layout

Challenging but fair. The greens were in excellent condition.
The play got somewhat slow on the back nine. Other than that, it's a nice layout for the $$

Many wide open fairways.

Good scoring course. Can miss fairways and have a good second shot to recover.
