Calumet Country Club

A friend in my foursome got a hole in one on 14 par 3 The course is making a plaque for him This course was built in 1901 Closing in 2024 at the end of summer They are building a Amazon mega building

I thought the course layout was very good along with some good challenges. The main problem was that the greens on several holes are in need of repair. It appears the main club house is going to be renovated which is a good sign. I would play the course again. I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone that is really serious about their game since putting is so crucial to scoring

Multiple ball lost on the fringe due to high grass. The buckets are full of weeds. I can keep going so I'll just say avoid this course.

This course use to be pristine when it was private. I had played many times then and have played it many times since. The course was in excellent shape yesterday except for the bunkers. Many of them had weeds growing out of them and had not been raked or sanded. The rest of the course was cut well, the rough, the fairways and the greens. The course has a great layout and is challenging to play. It is a great value for the money, especially if you stay out of the bunkers.

The staff was wonderful and accommodating and definitely will be back!

I drove all the way from the north side of Chicago to try this course and was very disappointed. The sand traps are full of weeds. The ruff was so tall that I lost several ball that landed next to the fairway.

Course is in great shape. Only a couple greens had some rough patches. Other than that the course is in excellent shape.

So there was an outing at the course when we arrived at 12:50 for our 1:10 tee time. The guy in the golf shop said the earliest we could tee off was 2:00. He said the outing would have to end before we could play and they didn’t have any carts available. It was a sh#% show. The condition of the course was awful. It’s a disgrace what has happened to this Donald Ross design.

A very nice layout, nice bunkering . Can use every club in your bag. Enjoyed it

This Donald Ross original value trek 30 minutes from downtown Chicago understands its position on the golf food chain.

The greens are shaggy and slow in serious need of compaction/aeration, some of the bunkers have turned into Audubon Bird Sanctuaries with 18-24 inch weeds more conducive to upland fowl than a golf ball, and the property needs significant tree and brush clearing with mature trees impeding on traditional lines both off the tee and on approaches from the fairway.

However, once you put on your metaphorical blindfold - the contours, land movement, well guarded undulating greens, elevation change and hummocks are all there in classic Ross fashion. For $61 I much rather play here than many of its $100+ Chicagoland counterparts.

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.

Layout was good, fairways n greens in good shape....sandtraps had weeds growing all through them, making them unplayable...ridiculous! Was getting dark on eighteenth hole and mgr came out screaming! Give me a break...what an jerk!

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.
