Just ok

I like the course layout but it's over priced and the condition is questionable. Played late morning on a dry day and the bunkers had mud/standing water and the cart path was filled with potholes. Also had no beverage cart on a nice mide July day the entire round. Value for the price not worth it in my opinion

Think Twice Paying Those Fees

Clearly not a $75 course...I knew that going in..that's why I got a pretty good deal for $38 on GN. Course needs loving care...greens ball marked everywhere...no sand in traps...no ball washers...even missing hole plaques. Not what you'd expect for a resort course trying to attract business conferences. Would I go again? Yeah for $38!

Pace of play

I was very displeased with this course based on the fast the course claims to not have the money to hire enough staff. Not having a ranger on the golf course is a detriment. We had people in front of us that had no idea about how to keep up the pace of play or even an idea that they had to do anything. I questioned the starter about having a ranger and he said we are short staffed and cannot have a ranger. If this is the case you should close the course

Great resort course!

Arguably the best resort golf course in DuPage County. Narrow fairways, fast-moving greens, and #5 is one of the most challenging par-4s I’ve ever played.

Needs some updating

I play here regularly and the course conditions are usually good but lately maintenance has really been lacking. Traps in bad shape cart paths have huge pot holes some dangerous and over all need some attention.

Good Course but could use some help

The course is tight but fair. You need to be accurate off the tee or you will find trouble. Bunkers everywhere which is my problem with the course. The bunkers needed sand badly. It was like hitting off cart path. Nothing but rocks and compacted sand. The black tee boxes were also in rough shape. They were really sloped with divots everywhere. Most of the time it was hard to find a good place to tee from and with the course playing tight they should’ve been better maimed. Overall fun little par 70 course.

FYI, please repair your divots. Takes 2 seconds and makes the green that much better for everyone else to play on.

Challenging and forgiving

Great layout. Forgiving as there is some tall grass but the majority is 2nd cut rough. Some narrow fairways to test the drives.

Was a bit backed up, Father’s Day so it was expected but there was a fivesome ahead of my group. Thought it was odd to offer a 5-some on such a busy day.

All in all, will play it again.

Pot holes and weeds

The cart path had giant pot holes everywhere full of water. Also the fairway had weeds and next to the green as well. The bathrooms where all closed and they instead put a portpuddy next to them. Cart got only came around once in 18 holes. 18 holes took 5 and 1/2 hours. For 90 I could of hand the same experience at a cheap course and not been upset that I got ripped of.
