Fast greens

Awesome course, narrow fairways, very well kept greens, staff is friendly, under $40 each for 2 golfers and cart. Will be playing again and recommend others. As long as you don’t get stuck behind elder folks who walk, your pace of play is solid.

Sorry...spoiler alert.

Best post Covid round so far. Pastoral country club style expansive woods style course with each hole it’s own challenge, including a 500+ yd par 5 which I two putted for par! Course in mid summer 4+ condition with meticulously groomed fairways, mercifully cut rough and fast/true greens. I played 18 twilight holes in just under three hours for $30 with a cart. I hope I haven’t ruined it for the regulars but I will be be back. Well worth the drive!

Nice Course

Had a really nice time playing this course yesterday. Staff was friendly. Pace of play was great. Beautiful scenery and well maintained aside from some grass clippings which made the ball a little hard to find sometimes. Would definitely go back. Did not use any amenities.

Above average north suburb course

Things are opening up, so driving range and putting practice is open. The course is in good shape, rough can be think in places. Foursomes at 10 minutes apart, pace of play can sluggish especially par 3’s. Course is straight forward, tough in spots.

Overall value good for this season of elevated prices. I like the transparency of the cost presented on websites and Golfnow includes cart.

Great condition

Course was in excellent shape. Narrow fairways, not particularly long, but challenging. If you’re off the fairway, you’ll likely be contending with trees and need to punch through back to the fairway,
