Get a Mower

Who wants to walk through goose crap on a course that has not been mowed in a month? You can enjoy the scenic view of the 1950s clubhouse on 18 while you sift through the range balls which have not been picked up since spring. Craptacular..

Juice not worth the squeeze

Decent course, nowhere close being worth $65 per golfer. Course was in decent shape at best, tee boxes were not well cut, greens pretty slow even as it warmed up. Course pretty vanilla for the most part, not very well maintained.

Nice Public Course....

Watch out the $ 65 rate does not include a cart. it is $ 20 bucks more per person. $ 85 bucks.... for Sunday at 9 am tee time. Not worth the money. Chalet Hills & Foxford Hills in Cary, IL are both cheaper and better courses. Maybe I am just spoiled form over the years of playing & living in Cary.

Nice course!

Great pace of play, never waited to hit with a 6:30 am tee time, well spaced. Fair course, not particularly challenging, the Par 3s are a bit long relative to challenge of other holes.

Not worth the money

Paid 70 ish for this course. Should be worth 35. Not terrible but the pictures make it look like medinah. Just not worth the money and the holes are on top of eachother. Maybe just play the back 9

Tough course, but a little over priced

First time playing Old Orchard. It's a challenging course, for me at least (10 handicapper), and can definitely be confusing getting around to the next hole. As for the course conditions, the tee boxes were the biggest problem. They seemed really nice, but were actually really squishy. You'd place a tee and your feet would sink a few inches below–it was strange. Pace of play was slow, but I'd chalk that up to the extreme heat. It's a pretty course overall. But cart and 18 holes set me back $85 and I think that's a little steep for this course. It's nice, but that's a little too much for me.

Terrible course condition. There were no staff on hand and the value of the course for the money is absolutely awful.

Despite the wind and rain

It was a great day at Old Orchard CC. Really nice layout and in reasonably good nick as they say. Shows wear from the high volume of players it handles but the grass and greens were in overall fine condition. Can’t wait to go back.

A gem

A great, unrushed round!

One suggestion would be better signage and scorecard. Had several confusing moments not knowing which way to the next hole.

Old course, lots of charm

I recommend this course regularly. The trees are all old growth so it is beautiful and easy to get around. The course was in great shape. The fairways were very soft, the rough was a bit shaggy but not terrible. The greens are small but usually soft, receptive and fairly flat so easy to putt. I love the clubhouse because it seems straight out of the 60's era. The course amenities could use some work as the practice area and putting green are pretty substandard. It's on the short side but still has challenges as many holes have water protecting the green so you can't drive them. The staff is very nice and helpful.

Difficulty Fairly Easy
