Nice greens, true roll.

Rough tough enough.

Cart girl could use a lesson in golf etiquette. Talking rather loudly while we were attempting to tee off. A couple of times she parked in a manner that blocked the cart path and prevented going around while she waited on other golfers.

Boone Creek

This is a great course tucked conveniently between Crystal lake and McHenry.

I love to play here when I'm try to make some small adjustments. It relatively flat and easy to navigate for those who walk. This is a great course that easy fairly easy to play.

Pastoral Natural Setting

The beauty of Boone Creek is its natural setting. NO houses with a beautiful creek running through it. Also very playable and fair course for players above a 10 hndcp and challenging for low handicappers if played from back tees. Greens over the last 5 years have really become good and turf is also in good condition.Expansive practice area. Course is fairly flat.Great spot for a social round of golf

Something for everyone!

This course offers different challenges for the beginning, intermediate or serious golfer. The "Valley" portion is all about course management, the "Prairie" portion is where distance is king and the "Creekside" portion is a mix of both. Of note, the roughs are thick and often cut as if the course is applying to host the U.S. Open, so keep it in the fairway! Staff members in the pro shop, the bar or on the course are always friendly!

Course in fairly good shape. traps could use a little lighter sand. Bring lot's of balls with you as there is high risk on every hole due to the thick rough.

Course played fast and completed 18 holes just under three hours. Would play again.

Beautiful course

I played 9 holes on the Prairie course. Beautiful job of integration with natural landscape. One of the more beautiful courses I've played. Nice staff. Not too hard because it's not too long. But like any course best if you but fairways.

There finally cut the rough. It took years to do it. I quit playing this course because of this. I'll go back if they keep them cut to a reasonably fun place to play

Not too many high hills and plenty of directions for easily finding the next hole. Very relaxing yet great practice for the avid golfer.
