Good be great

Course is absolutely horrible shape. Massive dead trees everywhere, over grown. Tee box and greens are the worse I e ever played. But hey, you get what you pay for and we paid $18 for 18 with cart. I’d play again for that price but would t likely pay much more than that.

Calumet

There have been some improvements which make course more playable. Arrived at 9:45 for 10:00 tee time and there were no carts available. Tee boxes still fine, but sand traps overgrown with weeds. Greens were in pretty bad shape. Course layout very good and holes were marked, unlike earlier in year. Still one of best values for money.

Don’t Play Here

Just sad experience. Horrible rough, 3 foot weeds in “sand traps” at times. Greens extremely hit or miss. Not worth $50 at all. Don’t play here.

Not in great shape

Run down would be the best way to describe it with older carts, bad tee boxes and some greens were in brutal shape. The clubhouse is a dump and the bathrooms were just as bad. No bar or restraint but had a vendor at the turn.

This ain't it

The tee boxes are very rough, crab grass, most every hole. On 95 degree days, they offered no cart staff, nor anywhere to fill up your water bottle. They have a driving range which they shut down for municipal players, reserving it for an afternoon youth tournament.

I mean come on, $80 is a premium price to pay for a course full of compromise. The club house is all but abandoned.

A pretty bad golf experience

Calumet used to be the ultimate golf course, but those days are over. They tried to sell it to a truck company, but the village blocked it. So now you have a course that has little to no upkeep, a run-down clubhouse and just a bad golf experience.

We wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, but after golfing there this weekend, I won't be back. The course is run down with super slow greens, bad fairways and no sand. It's better to look elsewhere. There are too many great courses in the area to ever justify going here.

I wish I could give it 0 stars

This may be the worst course in the Chicago land area. 75 dollars for a 7:30 tee time at this "country club" should be illegal - the bunkers are a mix of a little sand and a ton of knee high overgrown grass & weeds. The tee boxes are also overgrown with weeds, the bathrooms are disgusting and the sprinklers were on at 8 am. On top of everything, it's right off the expressway so you need to yell to hear the person next to you on the green. I implore you do not play this course
