Condition of course was OK but the greens were in not very good condition. Most of them were covered with leaves. Pace was slower than usual.
Great Forest Preserve course
I’m usually at the south suburban forest preserve courses so I don’t get up this one as much as I’d like but it’s a really good one. I’ve only played it twice but both times were enjoyable rounds and it checks every box I’d want checked. The tee offs on #10, #17 #18 are tough ones.
Course was in good condition but some of the greens are rough. Lots of debits that were not previously fix. Play was slow.
DISASTER
After hole 6 they had a grounds keeper guy turning on the sprinklers at every hole right before we got there including while we were teeing off. Literally every hole after the 6th. So every second shot onto the green or put we were landing in water logged greens, literally looked like it rained for days and there were puddles everywhere, we couldn’t putt and the holes were filled with water almost to the top. I think it’s ridiculous when you’re paying close to $60 per person for 18 holes. Then when I scheduled the day for me and a friend it only said there was walking and when I called I was told we could pay for a cart when we got there no problem and it would be $18 total, but when we got there they said $18 per person for the carts….honestly it was a disaster I don’t think I will be going back.
SLOW Pace.
I have played Chick Evan twice this year, both rounds were unbearably slow. Waiting for multiple groups on every tee box.
The course itself is ok. Not in great shape, but I've certainly seen worse. Tee boxes could use some love. Fairways on some holes are pretty dried out.
Probably won't play here again this year.
Short but sweet
Nice course in nice shape and isolated from civilization in the forest preserve. It is short, 5700 or so, but still can be challenging. I recommend it as you long as you appreciate it for what it is. Not a tournament course going to host PGA anytime soon, but a very pleasant, fun and interesting course.
