Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

This course is extremely challenging with a great layout. The sand traps are terrible and the course needs watering. I am assuming that they have cut back in these areas due to budget restraints. The course is a great place to play if you purchase your tee time on Golfnow "Hot Deals" but not worth the regular prices that they charge.

Ruffled Feathers is a nice layout but the pace of play on the weekends is usually 5 plus hours. The tee times are either 7 or 8 minutes apart and almost guarantees a 5 plus hour round on the weekend.

Brutally slow round, several times multiple groups on tee boxes. They decided to let a FIVEsome play at 9:00 and despite several calls to the pro shop and pleading with the most incompetent marshall in the world, pace never picked up. Will never play here again.

Course was in great shape well cut fairways and the greens were fast!! Tough course but fun to play

Not for the rookies like myself. Very nice course, if you can be consistent and straight. Best course I've ever played on in every way. Very challenging tees, fairways, and greens. A must play for everyone who's up for a challenge. Good luck, bring balls.

First there were no bag boy and no starter. The place has gone down hill the past year or so, it use to be one of the great courses in chicago

Stay out of the traps unless you like hitting out of gravel and compacted dirt. This is a nice looking, challenging course, too bad the bunkers are neglected. Would not go back until sand was actually used in the traps. "I like my wrists unbroken please". The pro shop staff agreed the bunkers needed work. Food was non-existent.

Love the golf course but pace of play is terrible. We were a twosome and the two foursomes in front of us would not let us play through. I hate inconsiderate golfers.

This course was ok but for tournament conditions, it was not very good. I would not recommend this course except for an average golfer.

Course just experienced rain the day before.
All Sandtraps full of water, had to pull balls out.
Difficult situation unfortunately.

Nice layout, but course more for the challenging golfer, not a beginner or high handicap golfer.

It's a pretty course especially in the Autumn.

Sadly we were stuck behind an outing of hacks and were backed up 1 to 2 groups on every tee box. Made it very hard to find our rhythm.

It would be nice if GolfNow had a feature that notified you of an outing. Then you could decide if you wanted to stay with your tee time or change it.

Pretty sure the courses know of group outings ahead of time and could give GolfNow the heads up.

Greens amazing with a very challenging layout. Looks as if the course at one time in its life had private club attention. Not so much now. No staff to assist with bags etc on a Saturday morning. Staff that was there had no interst in helping. Went thru 2 carts with bad GPS units in first 6 holes. Staff finally attempted to fix our cart, not believing us at all.
Bunkers in terrible condition. More gravel and hard pan than sand. Areas around greens burnt out. They had a 2' drop area that was compacted dirt. Pace of play was slow for a Saturday am.

The course is in good shape. Not as good as it use to be 10 years ago but well worth the money.

The course was in excellent condition. This was my first time playing a Pete Dye course and I enjoyed it very much. Most shots require both thought and execution to be successful. I would like to play it again with the knowledge of where to miss when approaching the greens. A number of times my miss put me in a bad position and cost me a stroke. Had I known the best place to miss I could have saved a few strokes. Would recommend to anyone who wants to play a well designed course in great condition.

Unfortunately play is slow and rangers when their around don't help to move play along. I would play offen but you you don't start early enough then it 's a long round. And for what it cost to play you should be able to enjoy it. Maybe spread the tee times to 12 minutes or more apart. Anyway having to play the front side twice cause the back was crowded was not to my liking .

Seemed painfully slow at 1st, but after we finished 9 the gps said we were only 12 minutes behind. Back 9 was much faster, completing our entire round 15 minutes ahead. Definitely short staffed, no ranger nor cart girl. However beer was only $3/can!!! That helped. I will play it again but no rush with so many other choices.

only played 11 holes because of weather when we got back to clubhouse the bar was closed no food either

Booked on Golfnow. Was not warned or advised about a tournament teeing up 30mins before our tee time. Suffered through a miserable 6hr+ round. Also was not warned about greens being aerated. Overall a very poor experience and outing and I would not recommend this course or outing to anyone.

I paid $60 on Golfnow for the round. The conditions of the golf course were just ok. The greens are still slow and the rough is thin at this point with some weeds. The fairways overall are in good condition though there are some dead spots. My biggest compliment would be fairway bunkers, which were not in very good shape at all. But you should expect these conditions with the bad winter we had & it is still only May 3rd. If you can get a similar rate as I did, I would highly recommend this course as it is very challenging and worth it. The range is nice also.

Ruffled Feathers is a Pete Dye course which played around twilight can be played for a great value with a cart. I played by myself and although I had to wait for the groups ahead of me, I was able to get plenty of practice since there was no one behind me. The course was crowded since it was Easter Sunday and low 70s and sunny which is very rare for Chicago.
