Clown greens

Expect to three putt everything. Don't pay for a cart, they likely have groups going every 10 mins and it will be pretty jammed up.

Miniature golf greens

This course is overplayed and poorly kept. Nobody replaces divots and nobody repairs ball marks. They don't do anything to keep the tee boxes in good shape. If you like sand traps we'll this course is perfect. If your 5 yards left or right your ball will l hit the mound and roll in. Then you get to hit on to rollercoaster greens. What's sad is with all the undulations, they put the pins in super tough positions. The goal is to two putt. You will three putt these greens many times. Also what's sad is I'm so close to this course that I could walk there and I still won't play it. It's alsol expensive with how they maintain the it . Plenty of other courses to play. Stay away from this nitemare

Very nice muni course

Very good although short course. Greens are challenging. Design is thought provoking as far as strategy. They have a great Himalaya practice green, short game practice area & driving range.

tremendous value

First time playing this course and thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf.

We had a mix up in the tee time when we arrived to check in and they handled it most professionally . The staff were excellent and the facilities are set up like a country club. The course was in excellent condition from the fairways to rough to the greens. Looking forward to playing this course again.

One of my favorite public courses in Chicago

This course is one of my favorite, I had a friend in town on business this week and we played a Thursday 11:am tee time. The course played a little slow because of some foursome’s who had no business playing from the tips haha but that’s pretty a-typical here.

The course layout is challenging and well thought out…not a boring green on the course either.

The short game/practice area is great.

Staff all very pleasant and helpful

Facilities are top notch, it’s almost like a public country club

Carts are newer/brand new and have onboard GPS and scoring

Excellent value for the money and a great GC as well.

WOW!!!

What an unbelievable layout for a public course. Wildest greens I’ve ever seen and I’ve been many places!

The layout of the greens is something you have to see! This is easily a Top7 IL public course. What an absolute gem!
