Rating 70.9

Wolf Hollow Golf Club originally opened in 1928 as Lena Golf Club. The course tumbles across northwest Illinois' gently rolling hills, incorporating quite a few elevation changes into the layout. The golf course has a true risk-reward design that will thoroughly test your shot-making abilities. With proper course management and a bit of luck, there are several birdie opportunities to be had. Measuring in at just over 6,400 yards from the back tees, the course manages to give you a few lengthy holes but it will also put your short-game skills to the test. The 16th is one of Wolf Hollow Golf Club's most intimidating holes because this par 4 has trouble everywhere. A creek and tall grasses guard the left of the fairway and the small green requires a nearly perfect approach shot.

Hidden Gem

This place is well worth finding for many reasons. Staff were great. Course condition and layout were very good. Price was outstanding! Greens were very nice and rolled true. Very hilly with many uneven lies resulting in a great challenge. Gotta go to this place!

Wolf Hollow

I like this course. Have played it several times and it is always fun. It has some very challenging holes but overall is fair. I like the diversity of holes with some long par 4's which is compensated for with some fairly easy ones. Definitely a course I recommend.

Nice Layout

This course used to be in excellent condition and I have played it numerous times over many years. This time it was in the poorest condition I have ever seen it. It appears to me that over the past year conditions have fallen below the standards the course has set in past years. I hope they go to work on it.

First Time Playing

TOO MANY BLIND SHOTS!

Course was In very good condition overall, considering our lack of rain for past several weeks. Fairways and greens were in very good condition. Course seemed very busy for a weekday. Parking lot was full but pace of play was still quite good. But, WAY too many blind shots, which I my lowers my overall enjoyment considerably. Could've been more enjoyable. Probably will not return...

The Wolf

I like this course. It is challenging yet not so hard that my ego is crushed. The course is in good shape although a couple of the greens had some problems. Pace of play was good. Pro shop help is not so friendly, however, bartender and food servers are great. Will come back and recommend to anyone wanting a fun challenging course.
