Steeple Chase Golf Club

This has got to be the best park district course that you’ll ever find in the area.

Fantastic course and staff was great. No driving range. Over looked that because this course was a real gem. Quick greens and in great condition. Pace of play could have been little better. I blame it on being behind foursome that had no business on an am tee time. 4:30-5:00 hr round with no one in front of you is unacceptable. Can’t wait to play again.

I love this course. Every time I play at another course, especially when I play at other expensive courses, I love this one even more.

They have the best greens I've ever played on because they're mostly flat and slope but make all putts challenging with fast green speed. You can one putt as easily as you can three jack on the green!

The landscape is beautifully done and makes it challenging, especially if you're chipping downhill. The traps are perfectly placed. The fairways aren't crowded by huge, branchy trees. The dog legs of the fairways are normally 200-250 out, and most of them aren't sharp. As a guy who can drive 250-300 depending on wind conditions, this plays perfect for me. It's fun to try and hit a draw over the trees. Because the tree density isn't as high as a lot of other courses, it's pretty easy to find your ball.

The onboard GPS is a godsend. It's very accurate and it really helps me play my best round.

Generally speaking, the average group that you're golfing around are friendly and relaxed. You don't feel pressure if you fall behind pace because of a bad hole or anything like that.

Overall, to me it doesn't make sense to play at a slightly cheaper course and sacrifice the quality that you would get here @ Steeplechase.

One of my favorite places in Lake County to play.

Excellent layout and friendly staff. Pace of play could use some improvement. Generally takes 4.5 to 5 hours during the week to get around. Course is in good, not great shape. Overall a great way to spend a day..

Carr path only. Course still brown; but greens and fairways are very playable

Very tight difficult course. Not much forgiveness around green or off tee

It's a nice course to play if you can get a special rate. The regular rate is a bit high for what you get. I played in late October and they are pretty much shutting down for the season but the course is still in good shape. My one complaint is that the area around the clubhouse is very poorly designed and very congested. The practice putting green is so tilted that it is unhelpful.

7:00 am tee time after some rain. The course was a little soggy but you can’t control the weather. Course has a great layout and is not overly difficult. Other than it being wet the course was in good condition. We cruised through 18 in 3:15 hrs but we saw a bit of a back up on hole #1 at the turn and then again when we ended. It was turning out to be a nice October day and everyone was trying to get out. I will happily return for a round.

Great course would been nice to know in adavance the course was punched lots of other great golf courses around too very rude starters I felt like I got scammed

Pleasant round on a beautiful Summer Day. Will definitely test different parts of your game off the tee, in the fairway and especially around the greens. Chipping and putting from above the pin very hard. Some course familiarity should help with right club selection (to minimize these instances).

A little on the slow side, but that’s to be expected on a Saturday. Especially when people are playing the wrong tees or not prepared with an extra ball when their 1st shot goes into the water (LOL).

A couple suggestions for management:

- fix up the hitting nets. In pretty bad shape with bad balls, no tees, no targets. That can’t be that expensive.

- The gas engine carts are very noisy. Its a shame to have to hear that against the beautiful natural sorroundings. Every golfer announcing themselves on each hole/shot. Electric carts would be much quieter (and cleaner).

This was by far one of the most challenging courses I've played. The course layout was nice, but it was once you got to the green. If you didn't land your ball below the hole and you were putting from the top or sides, the ball would just run past the hole and it was hard to determine the break on side putts. Putting is usually my strong part of the game, but I never made so many 3 putts in any round. In addition they have some Par 3's that fly over water which is always fun besides many strategically placed bunkers that are hard to avoid if you don't plan your shot well. Lastly, the picturesque 18th hole with water guarding the approach from the right made this a fun hole to close out the round especially with the wind kicking up. The onboard GPS gave exact measurements from where you are to the pin, plus it is interactive that you can select points on the hole to find distance from where you are. Really didn't need to use my laser finder. I've been wanting to play Steeple Chase for some time and it didn't disappoint. The only drawback I saw was that there wasn't signage really directing you to holes especially when you made the turn as to where the 10th hole was. Also one other nice thing was that they had two bays with nets that you could get some swinging practice in before your round besides putting. Looking forward to playing again now that I know the secret to the greens.

We played this course at the twilight rate and got through the 17th hole before it got too dark to see. This is a really nice course that fits in well with the surrounding courses. There is a nice variety of holes and a lot of interaction with water. The course is not heavily bunkered but a few of them are MASSIVE (especially 14). For a municipal course, it is well maintained. Were a lot of coolers with ice water on the course which is always appreciated. There was no range, but nets were provided to allow for warmup. The course next door has a nice range if needed. Will definitely play this course again!

Course was in overall decent shape however greens were top dressed and it was a pain with sand collecting on ball every putt. I was told greens are top dressed every two weeks so that is a pretty regular thing. Also course was really firm especially the rough. Overall course is good but I think it's over priced especially week day fees. Weekends forget it I would never pay that fee for this course. Have played courses this year with better conditions and price.
