Most Improved Facility

Maybe the most improved golf facility in the United States. Having a quality grass practice range on the north Shore is huge. No matts for me snymore

Ok…

Course is somewhat under construction. The pace of play is way too slow. I didn’t even finish the course today. I left after waiting almost 15 minutes to tee off at the 6th hole. Playing 5 holes took 1.5 hours. Love the course and the staff is great, , but the pace of play is unacceptable, and to pay 24/28 for 9 holes under those conditions isn’t worth it.

Fabulous 9 hole course!

Thank you for a great course with friendly staff. Much appreciated. Today I even got an unexpected chipped in birdie on hole 3. After golfing, the patio and menu is fabulous. I had the chopped BBQ salad and Scott the chef is amazing. Very grateful to have such a wonderful golf experience with an added bonus of outdoor patio and delicious menu. Highly recommended. Thanks again!! This place has become my weekly place and I travel from downtown Chicago. Much appreciated!!

Nice course that needs a little work

Course staff is extremely friendly and the clubhouse is very nice. Course is a little beat up but they are in the process of making major improvements so it's going to get better.
