Donny’s Blindfold Trick

As a golf architecture enthusiast this Donald Ross original value trek 30 minutes from downtown Chicago would have to deteriorate even further to receive less than 4 stars from me.

The greens are shaggy and slow with severe need for compacting and aeration, some of the bunkers look more like an upland fowl habitat with 18-24 inches of plant growth rendering what little sand is left invisible and the course is in severe need of a tree and brush clearing with mature trees encroaching on traditional lines throughout the routing.

However, when you put on your metaphorical blindfold the routing, the well guarded greens, the hummocks and land movement are all there. Classic Ross bones for $61, I’ll take it over $100+ robbery at some of its Chicagoland counterparts any day.

Very challenging course

This course was beautiful and the staff was awesome. The only thing was the sand traps where not taken care of they were terrible you couldn’t even attempt to play them.

What you get for 50 bucks

Bunkers have grass and weeds growing in them - fairways were in good condition- greens were pretty slow but not bad - the real only issue is if you’re a low handicap looking for a place to play this isn’t it as it is primarily a higher handicap average golfer playing on that course and was pretty clogged up.

Poor choice

Thank God for the rain lately. Greens were super slow. You couldn’t hit out of the sand traps
