Well Kept Well Conditioned 4.25 stars

My interest peaked when I noted Golf Advisor ranked Mendota #9 in Illinois for 2019 and #7 friendliest in the nation in 2019. The topper was a $19 hot deal fee inclusive coupled with.a perfect weather morning to make a 1 1/2 hour trek from the Western burbs of Chicago. Folks are friendly the course is well conditioned/well maintained in all areas (even the traps). Trees but no real issues.....plenty of room to route your ball. They take great pride in this course and it shows. Some of the greens are smallish and have lost their size. #4 thru #6 stretch of course is formidable and the back nine provides plenty of challenge as well - windswept tee on a ridge dog leg right par 4 13th over a creek greenside. Both the Par 3's on the back 14 & 16 feature fronting water hazards. Hills and dales/down and up. Nice old school 50's clubhouse with lots of windows. The members really are friendly to newbies and the folks in proshop most pleasant and welcoming. A top ten in Illinois? - that's a bit of stretch.....but certainly within a top fifty. I wouldn't hesitate to return. Highly recommend if you're in the area or want to go experience a nice pleasant quiet day in the countryside.

Fun layout

Mendota is always in good condition. The greens are mostly small and they run true. The staff is great. I highly recommend Mendota. If I lived closer I would join the club.
