Disappointed in golf pass

I had to pay in advance to reserve a tee time. I thought that once I checked in I would be charged the senior rate. The golf pro couldn’t make an adjustment. I was overcharged.

Great Course and Great Value

Great condition, challenging but fair. And reasonably priced compared to how expensive public courses in Chicagoland have become. I will definitely be back.

Donald Ross Gem

My playing partner and I enjoyed the course very much. The greens need a little work as the ball marks were a bit out of control. The bunkers and rough were in excellent shape which kept the level of difficulty elevated. The ranger needs to keep the players on pace when they fall behind which caused our round to go from 4.25 hours to 4.75 hours.

Fantastic Public Course w/ Great Value

This is one of my favorite public courses in Chicagoland. And at $75 green fee including Carr, one of the better values in the area post COVID. Great practice facilities as well.

Expensive!

This course is not worth $125. Traps are awful, no path, greens are just okay. I like the layout. It should be $80/90 tops here.

Hidden Gem

Nice course with good pace of play. Cart service on the course along with good halfway house. If you stick around for some food afterwards, I recommend the BLT. Great service from start to finish.

Great Staff and Course

Course was in great condition and offered plenty of challenges. This was my first time playing the course and I will definitely play it again. Staff was great in offering advice on some of the challenges of course and how to overcome them, prior to teeing off.

Fun track

The front nine was especially challenging. There were some Sunday pins that really made ball position important. Greens were rolling fast. Course was in great shape.
