Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

Was $105 riding. Was not crowded. Went off at 10:10, original tee time was 10:24. I share this just to showcase it was not busy. Front 9 took 2:50. Was cart path only but please…No ranger pushing anyone. Day prior chicago- land had significant rain fall. Greens were thick, inconsistent and slow. Rough was so thick with huge patches that did not drain. Tee boxes were in poor shape. Clearly, they did not mow and did not care for the course that morning. For $105 was a dump. Quit after 10 as the wait on par 3 #11 was a good 20min. If I remember I’m going to call and ask for a rain check for 9 just out of principle.

New remodel on club house looks great.

Nice conditions, few spots need attention but mostly the course was in nice shape.

I recently played at this awesome golf course and the course was equipped with bells and whistles in place for challenges. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel like a VIP golfer. I'm already booked to play next week and counting down the days!!!

Bunkers were unplayable, very disappointing. The rest of the course was very good, greens rolled nicely in spite of the aeration but won't go back until they fix the bunkers which they way will happen this year.

Both were definite bucket list courses in the Chicago area but for less than 1/2 the price, Ruffled Feathers wins my vote. Also, at CH, the extra $8 for a bucket of balls for the range after a $200USD fee seemed a bit of a money grab. In addition to the money perspective, RF was in much better shape and the Pete Dye design was awesome to play.

Honesty won’t go back until they put more sand in bunkers.

Brought my father in law to a nice course I thought.

No sand ruin the whole experience

Tee boxes are very confusing because they aren’t all marked.

No rakes in most bunkers and some had puddles.

What used to be an exceptional course is now a diamond in the rough. 5HR round because no rangers are out, also no beverage cart.

Got a great deal on the rate and that’s the only way I’ll return.

Our group had a wonderful day at RF. For several years now RF has been on the rebound.....the clubhouse has been renovated (bathrooms and locker room, bar/restaurant) and the pro shop is being rehabbed after having some water damage issues over the winter. Nice brew selections, course nurse and convenient halfway house. Course itself is in good shape with the exception of the sand traps. The traps are edged but could use sand a refurb. Pace of play was excellent and each and everyone of the staff goes out of the way to make certain you have a great experience. Greens fee includes ranges balls with is another nice plus. Good senior value course during the week. Our group always enjoys it. Solid 4 stars plus and RF is always on our list to play multiple times each season. In fact we'll be back there in just a few days.......

Thought it was a private course but it IS public, so I am glad I had the chance to play it. A well-designed course that could be improved a bit. The clubhouse is impressive from the outside and gives off the private club vibe. The staff was very welcoming, especially the young lady who was at check in. The place is being renovated inside so not a lot of extras were available.

For mid-April, the course is in solid shape. The one thing that stood out to was that the bunkers were bad. A couple were not sand but almost like mud, and a few hand standing water. The greens were decent and rolled well but did not look great. Plus, they had more ball marks than should be on a nice track.

In general, it is a fun course to play. Decent amount of water that could impact your round. The back nine runs through more of a residential housing complex. Many greens are elevated so you really need to fly your ball on but there also are places you can run a shot on.

No. 11 is the “signature” hole and is a typical Pete Dye layout. It is an island green that hints of #17 at TPC Sawgrass but does require precise distance control. Got lost getting to hole 12 as we missed the turn to continue on and had to turn around after we got to 17 tee. A bigger sign to go right at that spot would be nice.

Other than the bad bunkers (which should dry out) and the greens that should improve as the temperature warms up, it is a course I would love to play again.

With Cog Hill in the area (just around the corner!), the people near Lemont are lucky to have two great facilities right next to each other.

Taking into account the time of year, the course was in exceptional condition. Pro shop is currently undergoing renovation so, if you’re low on supplies, consider stopping at a sporting goods store

Beautiful day. Course was cart path only and it had to be. There was a lot of water in the course but the course was very playable. Greens were in really good shape for March 1.

Staff are vey friendly. Course layout is great. However greens and bunkers needs some work.
