Steeple Chase Golf Club

Very nice course. Appropriate amount of challenges for a high handicapper like myself. Will challenge good golfers too. Disappointed they didn't have a driving range. However, they do have a hitting net and their very large putting green makes up the difference. It is a scenic course and well maintained. Can't wait to play it again!

Haven't played here in many years. Very impressed with the course layout & quality. The greens are extremely fast, some unfairly sloped and with ridiculously difficult pin placements. I thought the practice green was a joke, but it was a warm up for a few of the ultra fast greens.

Go. Play. It's great.

Played this course with a couple of friends on a dreary summer day. Not only was it very enjoyable to play, when I dropped my wallet the pro shop kept an eye out and caught someone trying to walk out with it. Love the GPS in cart as well, very well maintained course.

Love this course. Well maintained, not too punishing. Friendly starter got us going. Nice to have GPS on carts. Greens offer nice breaks to challenge even the short putt. Buddies disappointed there was no beverage cart available on this day. Had a nice time.

Love the little horseshoes on the tees.

We played on a weekday so the cost was reduced. I don't think I'd pay the weekend rate. The course was in great condition. I really enjoyed the layout. A real good mix of holes.

Steeple Chase offers some great and memorable holes.

The city and surrounding area got flooded during the week. Called the course and was assured they would be open. Course was in great condition all things considered. Bunkers had standing water but that was to be expected. Fairways drained out and greens were in great shape. Bit pricey but grabbed a hot deal. Worth what we paid for a Sat round.

I had always driven by this course and wanted to play it, and finally had the opportunity this weekend. A couple of blind tee shots is the only 'negative' thing I will say about it, and that's not meant to be negative. Just a personal preference.

Course is well maintained, and laid out nicely. Greens were quick, especially on downhill putts. Somewhat un-receptive to wedges as s lot of times I couldn't get to ball to stick, but overall, I would play again.

We love playing at Steeple Chase. Everything is great. Excellent course very challenging good pace of play the biggest problem no driving range. There is a golf course next door called Countryside which has a driving range but not close to the quality of Steeple Chase.

The Good: Fun, playable Ken Killian design north of Chicago is one of the better Forest Preserve courses in the suburban area. Fairly benign front nine gives way to a very impressive closing nine with several great holes. Layout winds through wetlands (water is on 13 holes) and some woodlands. Very strong Par 3's throughout and nice variety of Par 4's and Par 5's on the back. Pretty good course conditions and large, slick greens that putt well. Good clubhouse and nice staff. Good value if you are a city resident or during twilight hours. GPS on carts!

The Bad: Sand complexes are visually impressive, but need more sand. Greens don't hold as well as they should. No driving range or short game area is huge omission. Lack of restroom areas or good signage is a negative. Pace of play can be an issue, particularly on the weekend afternoons. The front nine is relatively boring. A little overpriced at nearly $75 during peak weekend.

The Verdict: Steeple Chase is another good option in the northern Chicago suburbs. A fun course to play that won't break the bank. Very tough in the wind!!

Best Hole(s):Several great holes on the back, but the Par 4 15th is a standout. Tough driving hole and an approach that requires a shot around overhanging trees. The Par 5 18th has 2 huge ponds and very little room for error. One of the tougher closing holes in the area.

The course is challenging but fair. The course is well kept and maintained.

The staff is friendly and professional

Course is known as a "hidden" gem in Lake County. For residents, the prices are by far the best you can get anywhere for the quality of this course. It's a little steep for non-residents, but still a great place to play. Course is shorter than average, but the holes make you think about your shots and are challenging. I play this course 6-12 times a year. A lot of average/nice courses in the area, but this is the best choice by far. Conditions are always average or above, staff is friendly, and greens are taken care of nicely.

Course is in real good shape. Greens are true and fast. Got around in just over 4hrs.

Always enjoy this course, some very challinging holes 18 is a beaut

Lasted played this course last fall and I remember the conditions were much better. We found the tee boxes in fair shape, many bare spot and thin grass. We also found the condition of most of the greens to be a bit rough, numerous old ball marks. Fairways were in good shape, some areas in rough a bit thin.

too many golfers on the course.

I play Steeple Chase routinely and I am always impressed with the great conditions of the course. Greens run true, fairways are properly cut and hazards are fair. Course staff is professional and courteous at all times. Pace is generally quite good and the layout is nicely created for walking or riding. Each cart has a GPS which improves pace and your scores.

I would recommend this course to anyone from beginner to skilled.
