Chick Evans Golf Course

There are always nice and kind staff welcome you.

Always fun to golf there, thanks Ray and Art!!

Decided to try Chick Evans golf course while visiting Chicago. Arrived at 11:45 AM for a 12:22 PM tee time. They had no available golf carts, and the line of people standing and waiting to tee off was long. The starter maintained carts too, so staff presence was sparse. Carts became available as players ended their rounds. We eventually teed off at 12:50 PM. Play was painfully slow. Never saw a ranger to help play along. We finished at 5:30 PM. Never again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tougher greens than you would expect.

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

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.

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.

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.

Slow pace, tee boxes in poor condition, greens excellent.

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.
