Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

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.

First time playing the course and even though it was winter the course was much more playable than many others in the area. Staff was excellent and for practice balls, cart and round was a great value. Would definitely play again

Pace was so slow

We left after 14

4 hours on a Tuesday

The quality of this course has gone down significantly. I love the layout of the golf course for its challenge and target golf. It is fall season and none of the leaves were removed from the golf course. The Geese dung is everywhere.

Need to get this course back to its original beauty.

Speed of play is ridiculously slow. Get the rangers out.

Last but not least, I LOVE the Layout.

The director of golf, who I met after play that day, is a great guy and wants the best experience for the golfer.

We got out on a Friday afternoon at 1:30 and the round took about 6 1/2 hours to play and were unable to play 18 due to sunlight. There were multiple two sums playing alone slowing down rate of play. Course maintenance was taking place during the day in the middle of fairways the “sand” is sprinkled over what seems to be concrete.

Not what we were hoping or expecting for premier public course. Very let down. Will not be back anytime soon.

The weather was not great. It started drizzling as we teed off on the first tee, and got heavier as the round went on. By the back nine we were playing in a steady pour. The pace was great, but of course, there was hardly anyone left on the course.

Despite the wet conditions, the course took the water very well. The fairways were very playable and greens were still true. We were impressed at how well the wetlands helped keep the course drained.
