Great course and found some great players to play.

The Ranger did not do his job. There was a foursome in front of us that was playing very slow. The ranger would come watch the pace and did not do anything

Horribly Slow, always!

Good, tough course. Slowest course in Illiniois!!

3+ hours for 9 Holes. ALWAYS. EVERY TIME!

Probably a staff problem. But really. It makes it SUCK!!!

Fun course super slow

Too many golfers at once. There were some holes with 3 foursomes backed up. 3 hours for 9 holes! Poor planning

Tough Nine!

Excellent, hard 9-hole! Great value always for this course. Pace is normally mediocre at best. But worth it. Tough.

Great course

Over all the conditions of this course are great. The only negative thing to mention is that the pacer was not seen until the end. 9 holes in almost 2.5 hours for a quick 36 par course.

Great amenities and friendly staff. Definitely will be back.

Average. Slow greens and play.

OK course I guess, conditions were good except the greens were very slow. Also the group ahead was painfully slow, we took about 2:15 for 9. i clicked "no" on would you recommend - not because it's that bad, but because Village Links just up the road is a better choice at comparable rates.

Great course for a tune up.

If you're looking for a 9 hole course to work on your game, this course works well. Challenging enough to test you. Short enough to not have to spend an entire day. Pace can be slower than you'd like but not too bad most of the time.
