Old Orchard Country Club

Nice, old course that is well maintained. The fairways lack the huge number of divots that scar many of the public courses. Offers plenty of challenges with water and sand for both new and experienced golfers. Course has a narrower feel than some of the newer courses I have played. Staff is friendly and willing to do whatever they can for you. Matched with some exceptional weather, this made for a great round of golf.

The starter was great, very nice. I wish they has a ranger to make sure pace was kept.

I play this course a few times a year. It has the look of a private club from the fifties. The clubhouse is run down and shabby now. The course itself however was in good condition for this time of year. The fifties look of the course is a positive feature for me. Heavy rains the night before seemed to have no effect. The rough was long and challenging as you see in most mid-west courses in the Spring. The greens looked spotty, but putted fast and true without bumps. Pace of play could be slow, but we were able to play through a foursome and finished under four hours. If you can get a tee time under $50.00, this course is one of the best values around

Have golfed at Old Orchard before, but likely won't return. Greens were in terrible shape, sand traps weren't even raked, and tee boxes were beat up. Played behind four golfers who were extremely slow and the group ahead of them was at least 3-4 holes ahead. There was no ranger on the course at any point to push them along. It created a 2 foursome backup on every hole and a 5-plus hour round. For $60, there are far too many other courses to play where they actually monitor what is going on and at least make an effort at maintaining their course.

caught a tough Chicago day, prior days too, yet course was in superior shape under the circumstances..upper 40's, wind off the lake, yet, caught a break w/Golf Now 'hot deal' and will say that I'll play it again at real higher bucks cause of the
GREENS! smallish with tough pins, and slopes. The typical Chitown greens this spring are generally poor becuase of ice issues. OO got it right.

Course has fast greens and in good shape for this time of year.
Fairways have nice bent grass and are mowed at perfect height.
Roughs are a little shaggy. There is some tree removal going on right now as well, but if you keep the ball where it is supposed to go, the course is fun. A lot of water comes into play at this course too. Course is much more picturesque in the summer with the flower beds in bloom, but still pretty with the fall colors. Most of the leaves are down, which made ball location a little difficult, but all in all it was very enjoyable.

Short but need accuracy. I enjoyed pretty much. Pretty moderate and cozy course. Has some features.

Equal amount of water and bunkers. You really need to stay on the fairway; rough is long, lots of trees. I like the layout with little curves and creeks.

The course is in great shape and boasts some quite challenging holes and then some easy ones.

Typically this course runs about $65 for 18 and a cart and while it's a nice course, not sure it's worth that type of coin.

Challenging tee box and pin placement a lot of trees enough water makes this a great find of a course. Playing in the fall will be though with all the leaves. Best $27 play of the summer

Very nice course with some challenging holes. It would be nice if some golfers would follow the USGA golf etiquette of repairing their ball marks on the green.

Needs some work on the rough. Needs to be cut more often.

Liked the coarse overall, but it was narrow and winding. Reminded me of British style links coarse's with trees. Tee boxes were poorly marked and smallish. Hole 16 was very narrow and had a very tough approach for your 2nd shot. Fun overall and would play again at the discounted price, not full.

Course was well set up and maintained. Starter was very helpful and friendly. Played with two different threesomes on the front and back nines and both were good company.

Poor judgement by starter allowing a fivesome ahead of us considering our Saturday morning 7:48 am tee time was a "fast play " promotion. The group ahead of the five in front of us was the real problem, did not see one ranger on the course. Beverage cart service also nonexistent. Will play this challenging course again but only at a discounted rate.

This is a short, narrow, tree-lined course. Typical par four is 350 yards. Par is 70. The 18 holes are on top of each other, tee boxes adjacent and fairways separated by a thin tree line. Big hitters who spray with hooks/slices won't have a lot of breathe easy holes here. Even fades and draws find tree branches. I didn't find anything particularly enjoyable or memorable about the course. It was a narrow challenge, that's for sure. To me, the holes all blend together in my memory as short narrow doglegs. I did find it to be well maintained. Not fancy by any stretch. The $55 GolfNow rate was also available direct through Old Orchard website for a Saturday teetime. So not sure how this was any deal. I won't be back.

The twilight rate is good, but I wouldn't pay their regular rates to play. The sprinklers were on at 4, 5, and 6pm on various holes, but it was 85 or 90 degrees and sunny out. At that temp, half of the water evaporates before it ever even has a chance to get into the ground. That was annoying. They should run the sprinklers at night. They'd save money and not create obstacles for the golfers.

This a beautiful and well maintained course - some tricky holes, which get trickier if you dont hit a good tee shot.
Greens are challenging and in great condition.

I liked this course!
Sidenote: I took notice of how clean the bathroom was on the course, nice touch if you have to use it.
