Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

No sand in the bunkers, just hard dirt (I know, don’t hit the ball in ‘em). Some tricky holes, blind shots - either get GPS or offer yardage guides/books. No idea where or how far to hit some tee shots. And this isn’t the course’s fault but holy cow there were a lot of unfixed ball marks on the greens. I fixed at least 5 plus mine on every hole and it didn’t make a dent. And lastly, I think the designers were in a bad mood when the drew up some of these greens. Huge swales/drop offs that you don’t know are there if you haven’t played the course. Fairways & tee boxes were in great shape.

RF treads off the Pete Dye name and that’s about it. Unfortunate because the bones of the course are great. But the condition of the fairways, greens, and bunkers consistently leaves a lot to be desired. Inconsistency and/or neglect are the only ways to describe. Simply not worth the money.

Pace of play was terrible and nobody was managing it. Great course layout but bummer how bad the marshaling and organization was.

Really enjoyed my first time at this course. Well designed, well groomed with a friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be coming back.

Ruffled Feathers used to be a super nice course and manicured to the tee but it now appears that it is looking rundown and drab. Some of the bunkers were full of water the greens were pretty pitted up with ball marks and it’s just not up to what I remember it being years ago. I played twilight so it only cost $44 and that’s about all that’s worth at this time. At one point they used to charge $125 and it would include a lunch and it was well worth it but now with the course conditions along with the cart paths being all full of potholes and run down it’s appears that it’s gone down quite a bit since years ago.

Great layout that is a lot of fun and includes a good balance of distance and target golf. Tee boxes need a lot of work and greens weren't running completely smooth. Fairways we're in good condition and rough is long, so keep it in the fairway to score.

The tee boxes, greens and fairways were not well taken care of. The layout is great and challenging. Staff was very friendly and knew what they were doing. I’m

Course was in nice shape but question set up for a holiday weekend - example - 8th hole set up as 220 yard par three - there was a two group log jam there; 2:50 minutes to play front nine was brutally long. And tenth tee was backed up as well. Bailed out after nine - could not stomach a 6 hour round of golf.

This will always be one of my favorites in Chicagoland but it’s really not getting the care it needs from the team. Just a few years ago the conditions were impeccable always; now tee boxes are abused, greens are hard and fast but need some love, and goose poop everywhere.

The pace was so slow, slower than the 1st time I golfed here that I will never return. Granted it was Father’s Day but I didn’t see a single Ranger on the course making sure the pace was kept up. I even called the clubhouse and they said they would send a ranger out. I never saw anyone come by.

The tee boxes were beat up pretty good with no signs of maintenance and the greens lacked any upkeep as well. For $110 I expect far better conditions
