Would only go back if on a budget

VERY CROWDED. Holes were incredibly short. Zero bunkers. Lots of ruined fairways from flood. Only positives were that it was cheap, and the people I met were all friendly. Would only go back if on a budget with no other options, though.

Pretty rough shape

I've been playing at Chick for more than 10 years and it's always hit or miss. This time it was a miss. We went out at 6am so pace was good, but the course is in terrible shape. Greens are okay but tees are shot and there are many grass less sections. It's like they kind of let it go other than the greens. The course could be really good if they would pump some money into it. I guess you get what you pay for, but I would gladly pay more to play a nicer course.

Fun course

Conditions are a little rough this time of year but not as Bad as I thought they would be. It's a fun course and even though it short it does not play short.

Good day on the course

Short but need to keep them straight! Staff does a great job, and the course is well maintained for the amount of play. Although the course was crowded it played at a reasonable pace of 4 and 1/2 hours.

Great little course for the money.

Staff is great. They continually create promotions to get more golfers on the golf course. This creates great deals for the golfers. My only suggestion would be to install the woman's 18th tee box on the other side of the creek. My wife loves the course, but when we get to 18, it spoils the experience for her. The women's tee box on 18 looks like an afterthought

Morning storms lead to wet, but lightning fast round.

The thunderstorms in the hours before my tee time made me nervous about a cancellation, but the course remained open, and it was WIDE open. There was a twosome ahead of us that we lost after the 3rd hole, and a huge group behind us that our 3-some lost after the 2nd hole. So we essentially had the place to ourselves and we absolutely flew through this beautiful woodland course, shooting over a river multiple times with well-designed, different holes following every tee-box.

Beverage cart girl was very nice and we saw her 3 or 4 times during the round.

The course was surprisingly dry after intense thunderstorms made the course very wet in the hour right before our tee time, but after the first 5 or so holes, it wasn't an issue anymore. Saw a family of deer on the 8th hole.

Will absolutely 100% play again many times. Loved it.

Wouldn't recommend

The course is so compact, balls were flying everywhere. I nearly got hit countless times. The pace was horrible, we waited 10mins at every hole. Took us 3 hrs to golf 9 holes. If you go just don't go during prime times. It's not very organized and they need a golf sheriff to light some fire under the butts of these slow golfers.

Not bad for what you pay

Fun, relatively short course that is in good shape. Affordable, even on the weekends. We play here 2-4 times per year. Some really easy holes and some pretty challenging ones. It's a fun course to play a few times a year. Just get out early.

Greens are much improved!

Based on past experiences at this course, I noticed the greens have received a lot of attention and are in much better shape than I remember from past years.

Slowest round of my life

Early morning Sunday tee time was delayed to tee off and it took 50 minutes to get through two holes. Will never return despite having enjoyed this course multiple times prior.

Good times

A "fun" course to play. Short course....however some "not so easy" holes. Good greens. Short course feels like you are playing a "shoot out". Fun playing 300 yard par fours. Feel like a pro if you hit a good drive. 75 yards to the green. pace of play was 4 hours..

I would not play this course all the time.....however it is fun to play 2-3 times a season.

Just below avg

No matter what time you play there (unless your 1st tee time) it's so slow. Took me and my buddy 2 1/2 hrs to play the front and I left. The starter informed us that a twosome was holding everyone up. I love golf, but if I tee off at 8 am on a Wednesday and my round is projected to be 5hrs I'd rather stay in bed

Good value

Course was in fine condition, though weather was very windy that day. Chick Evans plays a bit short but it has a couple challenging holes. Overall a good value for your golfing dollar, especially if you hold a Forest Preserve Golf Card. Booking through GolfNow was seamless - thx.

Great course

This is an awesome course. I've played it at least 5x and I wil be back. The only thing this place needs is a driving range.
