Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

Although the course had many water hazards, it was well-maintained and had a luxurious atmosphere.

The couse was beautiful except for the sand traps which were horrendous. Apparently they dont want to fix the drainage in the traps. This ruined the entire day not worth the money.

I played Ruffled Feathers about 5 years ago and was happily surprised how good it is now become. I believe they put a lot of money into it and the whole course and experience is great. Free Range Balls, Great quality conditions (tee boxes, greens, fairways, etc.). All great experience! Do NOT trust the rating on GolfNow - it was a 4.5-5 star course.

Bunkers were unplayable. No gps/screen in the carts. With those 2 things it’s hard to justify the price.

This is a handsome golf course. Lot of forced layups and interesting green and fairway complexes. The positives stop there.

Everytime I come to RF I feel like the staff feels like theyre doing me a favor letting me out on the course- no hospitality and no focus on the experience.

Not a walkable course - even if you're the first tee off on saturday morning - too spread out between holes.

Lastly, the course was in brutal shape. Standing water in every bunker, aerated and hairy/uneven tee boxes, greens bouncing all over the place.

Golfed with 3 other golfers we where all saying the

same thing….The 2 lines around the tee off markers

Were faded or couldn’t tell the color.. how about painting the sides of the 2markers on each teeoff so you know your at the right tee off..very annoying going back and forth to find out which one is your tee marker and the other 3 said the same thing…OTHERWISE ENJOY PLAYING RUFFLED FEATHERS AND THE STAFF IS EXCELLENT..PLEASE GET THE MARKERS FIXED

THANKS SO MUCH

We played as a foursome on 8/12/25. We started at noon and were told cart path only due to heavy rains the previous night. Not a surprise to us at all. Every sand trap on the course was unplayable, not due to water, but there was no sand and full of small rocks. The cart paths were in extremely poor condition, large pot-holes and chunks just broken off. The golf course has not seen any weed or fertilization in quite some time. Overgrowing clover, and many other types of weeds all over the course.

We spoke with an employee, he was playing as a single. We asked him about the situation. He told us a member of their corporate office was out the previous week surveying the course. He was told it would cost 2 million to fix the traps due to all the drainage issues. This used to be a nice place to play. They should shut this place down now. Pete Dye is rolling in his grave!

While this course has a ton of potential and could be a top public course in the Chicago area, the Ruffled Feather’s team needs to step it up. The course boasts ~100 bunkers and none of them are properly maintained. It looks like they haven’t filled these things with sand in years and many of the bunkers were unplayable. The tee boxes were terrible, especially the par 3s, which were absolutely beat up. The fairways and greens were fine and the layout makes for a nice challenge. Hard to say I’d come back here anytime soon, hopefully they can clean things up.

I thought course was in ok shape , bunkers not playable on lot of holes Was disappointed no beverage cart was out. Pace of play was terrible with two foursomes playing slow ahead of us and then getting together on 18 and taking 15 mins to get off green with no one out on course to speed these two foursomes up and restaurant was closed also on a Friday.

They have spent zero money on this place , the traps are unplayable and the pace of play at 930 in the morning was embarrassing …save your money and play something else.

Good layout. Fun variety of holes. Terrible job maintaining the bunkers. All flooded and or unable to play out of

Cart died on the front 9. Tee times are too close together. Played here years ago and it’s not the same at all. Not one ball at the practice range…. We had to go outs and pick up our own balls in the apron. Paid way too much money, for a 4:15 pm tee time to only get in 11 holes. Very very disappointed. I was shocked on the number of groups waiting on each tee box.

Very nice layout- amenities include driving range Included in green fee. Oddly, there were no ball washers on the cart or at any tee box. Also, for the price of the course and the very upscale area of its location, you would think there would be a GPS in the cart as well - there was not. The traps were dirt - not sand.
