Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

the course is very nice and demanding. BUT it was extremely wet due to the grounds crew must have left the sprinklers on all night it hasn't rained for weeks and the weather has been in the 90 so there was no reason to be walking through a drenched fairway and very wet greens with the sand traps being unplayable due to large puddles in them.

Water fountains have been removed from outside of bathrooms. No water coolers on course.

I was very surprised to find very poor conditions on the greens. Lots of ball marks NOT being repaired by golfers. This is a golfer player problem, not management. Maybe rangers should watch for duffers that just don't care and enforce verbal warnings. Its too bad. I got a golf now deal, but I would not pay full price to play here. This used to be a Top Chicago course. Needs to get better again.

There were challenges on almost every hole for a golfer of my skills but really enjoyed the layout of the course. Unfortunately ran out of time to complete all the holes before it got too dark. Would definitely like to play here again.

The staff was not friendly and the course took forever to play. It was a 5 hour round for 3 people. Way too long

Decent course but overpriced. Pace of play was glacial like which was frustrating. Picked up eventually but only because others ahead just stopped playing and left early due to pace.

Heard a lot of good things about this place. Course had a good layout, but greens were in horrible condition. If we didn't get such a good deal I wouldn't normally pay to play what they normally charge

Decent course, could use a little TLC. Good value for the money.

Pro shop said in excellent condition but that was not the case. Great layout but greens were slow with some spots that were damaged. Back nine has 3 holes with large patches of dead grass on the fairway. Add in domestic beer prices of $6 each and greens fees are $69 and you get a bad value. Drive down the street and play Big Run for $39. Much better condition.

Ruffled has a very good reputation and it lived up to it today. You'll need to play it a couple of times to know the nuances but it's a fair and fun track.

Had perfect weather for an after work 18 and rates were attractive. Got checked in at the course to find it was a cart paths only day. We've had lots of rain so it was somewhat understandable. On the course however, the fairways and rough weren't wet, so in my opinion, it could have been 90 degree ruling, but we stayed on the paths. The sand traps were partially filled with water. Not one of the not-too-friendly staff at the clubhouse mentioned a thing about that at check-in.

And, for what is supposed to be a higher end course, they have NO GPS on the carts, which wouldn't be an issue if they had BLUE, WHITE and RED stakes to mark yardages. THEY DO NOT. Apparently, this is too tacky for such a swanky course. So, on a cart path only day, we had to guess distances to the green and take a selection of clubs out to the fairway. Sometimes we brought the correct clubs. (Sometimes you could find a sprinkler head with a yardage, but most times you could not), so we ended up walking around looking for some indication of distances, then more often than not, just guessing. All the while the group behind is impatiently waiting.

Needless to say, this didn't make for good scoring or a good time. And, on a few of the holes, there are marshy areas between the tee and the fairways where they allow the cattails to grow above eye level. You literally cannot see where your tee shot lands on those holes, We had no idea where our shots landed or if we were in play or in a hazard until we drove down the cart path. By then, if we were OB, you're supposed to drive back to the tee box to re-tee but the group behind would already be waiting their turn, so we just dropped a ball and played on.

If they had GPS on the carts or installed yardage stakes, the pace would be bearable, but as it stands, it takes way too long to play here with people aimlessly searching for a distance marker on the course. Its frustrating to have to guess the distances. And not being able to see where your tee shot lands on some holes is just plain dumb. Won't be back until some changes are made.

Cool course layout, but the fairways and greens were so chewed up and covered in goose stuff it was not worth the money. This conditions were incredibly poor.

Course is in good shape considering the crazy weather we have had. We were not rushed or held up. Challenging course with light winds, brutal with a breeze. Good value at $47

Course in good shape and the the greens were true and quick.
