Not worth of $85 peak time golf

The roughs are super thick, goose poop EVERYWHERE, the holes 14 & 15 smelled like sewers (just nasty gas smell), kids came out of apartment complex and jumped on the course between the teams so contacted the office no one picked up, just terrible. Not worth of over $50 for this club. Don’t recommended at all.

Better courses nearby

Course winds thru a development, and at times seems a little tricked up. Would help if they had GPS on the riding carts.

Extremely slow pace overshadows the pluses

Cool design, tight and short with interesting design, but the pace of play makes it unplayable for me. I booked on Golfnow and it looked pretty open on the site, but there were groups in front and behind me and I was unexpectedly paired up. Quit after 14 holes. Also the sprinklers were on on 13. Called it in and they said they’d take care of it. But 10 minutes later we decided to drop in the fairway.

Would be a fun place to pay if they managed tee times and pace correctly.

Way too much water on the fairways. Course played very soft.

Condition of the fairways seems to have deteriorated in the last couple of years.

Average at best

I'm not a fan of courses like this. The layout means you are basically playing on top of each other the entire time. It's not terribly long, and the distance they try to squeeze out of the small space actually just means tee boxes are next each other and greens. The price is right and it's right outside Chicago. I'd probably play again, but it wouldn't be my first option.
