Hidden Gem

Best course in the Chicagoland area in my opinion when factoring price of tee time. The layout is the best in the area. The short par 4s are are good as any design for any public or private course out there. Challenging par 3s and a great mix of risk reward holes throughout the course. Great course for all skill levels and one that golf course design nerds will love. The staff is always super friendly as well. I can’t recommend this course enough!

Mini Golf Greens

I play this course because its down the street from my house. It's in great shape but the greens are all over the place. Double breakers

and not very fun. I feel like I'm playing mini golf. I can see if a few of the greens were like this but it's just about all 18 holes.

Seriously?

Who designed these greens? Ridiculous undulations on just about every green.It's like they don't want you to 2 putt no matter where you land. Why not put a few windmills,or bridges that go up and down like a mini golf course?

Nice course but rough greens

Fairways and tee boxes in good shape, however greens are anything but ideal. Instead of smooth rolling, ball bounced its way to the hole. Not sure why greens were aerated in July.

A Great looking course except…

This was a great course. I loved playing and the pace was great. However, after 9 holes I’m usually hungry and there was no food available at the snack house. None!! You had to go into the clubhouse. If you have a snack house then you should hotdogs, or bratwurst available.

Bring "A" Game Approaches and Putting

This is a nice experience but highly recommend for better players. The greens have tricky levels and you need to be on right level to avoid 3 putts (or more). Par 70 so overall distance is misleading as there are a few 190-200 yard par 3s with some very long par 4s. These are off set by some very short par 4s that are protected by greenside bunkers and the previously mentioned tricky greens. Because it is difficult, pace of play was pretty slow over 4.5 hours but overall a fun course. Great practice area for chipping and putting along with a small driving range. Clubhouse was nice as well and cart gal was available frequently. I'd recommend this and will play here again.

Unfair greens but good overall

Course is upkept well with nice practice facilities. You really need someone who has played the course a few times with you to help on approach shots. The greens are like mini golf. You hit what looks like a decent approach and see where you are and hope to 3 putt.
