Nice layout

Considering the heavy play this course is in beautiful condition- quick, consistent greens make this course a challenge- friendly staff kept pace of play moving. After 4th hole the course opened up & pace was fineHighly recommend!

Same old story

Course is great. I was reminded on the 10th tee why I play this course so rarely. Foursomes are always being let off 10th tee just in time to bring the pace of play to a screeching halt. If they stopped this practice I would play this course regularly

Course is always in great condition. Greens and pin placement are sometimes a bit overboard but it's fun if you just take it for what it's worth.

Only annoying thing is that they let groups off the back 9 sometimes. I was on pace for a 2:30 round this morning and then got stuck behind a group after the turn. Not great.

Tricked up

Here was a nice village course that was tricked up by some administrator trying to make it challenging for the few. Everyone I talked to who are residents say it was too bad what they did to our course. It is so tricked up as not to be enjoyable. Play somewhere else.

It doesn't get much better than this

It doesn't get much better than this, especially for a park district course at this price point. The course tests all aspects of your game, even though it's only 6,300 yds on the card. Not many forced carries, which helps move things along. The green complexes are awesome, and very tricky. It's in good shape. Course was crowded, but people moved along. Cool putting green and short game area, nice patio. It's right in the middle of a neighborhood. If I lived around there, I would go just to hang out.

Challenging greens. Not too tight or too much OB/water

Fun golf if you are working with a less than ideal ball striking ability. Greens are decently kept and multi tiered so they can be quite challenging.

Interesting track

I was pleasantly surprised by this course. While there are a few too many fairways that are close to one another , there are some really interesting holes. The greens are great. Really undulating, but not unfair in terms of pin placement.

Also, while it is not a long course it plays tougher than the distance because the back tees have some long holes (e.g. 2 par 3s around 220 and a par 4 around 465).

Difficult course layout

it was difficult course for bigginer. narrow fairway, small and express green made me triple boggy easily. But, it was designed wisely and remarkable course to try again.

First timer

This was our first time there. Beautiful day but pace of play was very slow. Not sure of what group was slowing things down. We were behind for women and they played quick and were great. Greens are unfair and too many craxy hills. Not bad to have that in some spots on a green but every green was like that. You need to add a map to the scorecard. We always found the next hole but you never had a feeling of where you were. You go through and by so many holes.

Brutal greens and pin placements

Nice course layout. Super tough to score with big slopes and pin placements. Get ready for 3 puts. Just plane stupid when they put pins on tough slopes.
