Great resort course!

Had a great round of golf for a great price. Once we played through two foursomes, who were extremely slow, we were able to complete our round in about 3 hours. There are a few challenges but overall a great course to play for an average golfer. Very well maintained course.

Pu this on your list of courses to play

Has some challenging holes. As with all courses, there are some that are not great, but overall, a tough and fun place to play. Always in good shape, other than the traps, which are full of pebbles and dirt. No sand to speak of. Still, would recommend this course.

Not bad

Gave my tee time to someone right in front of me---a group of 3 walk ups who I was told were "members" so it was okay to let them take my tee time. Odd bit not a huge deal. Only had to wait for them a couple times. Course isn't what it used to be but its still decent. Lots of areas where carts have ruined the grass. An easy fix with stake but they don't do it. At regular price it's too expensive. We got a hot deal at $40 and that's right where it should be.

Love the par 3's

Usually picky about courses not playing at 72, but I decided to play it on a Wednesday morning due to open tee times. Great staff, great pace (again it was a Wednesday morning), and some awesome looking scenes! The par 3's were awesome with some diabolical pin placements. Would definitely play here again!

Great golf course for every golfer

The course lay out is not bad, you have some elevations on some holes which you must select enough club to get to the green or you will come up short. Windy conditions and hard sand in the bunkers made it difficult to play your ball out of the bunker and navigate yourself around the course given blustery weather conditions. But who's complaining after all this is November and I'm still playing golf in Chicago!

Nice day off.

Used golf now "hot deal" for a day off golfing trip. Great course attached to resort. Only negatives: No true driving range (though they have mats and nets) that is paired up with potentially $$ hooks/slices off of 1st and 2nd tees with houses close on the left.

The course was very nice, very well kept up! Employees were very nice, except the young kid in the pro shop. My wife and i were in there looking around for 10 mins and we were the only ones in there and he never said hi or can I help you or anything.

Tricky But Short Course

Hidden gem in DuPage county. Very tricky placement of bunkers and water make this a perfectly challenging course. Distance really not a factor here.

Willow Crest

Beautiful course, not extremely challenging but fun to play. There is a lot of sand. Went mid-week and the course was completely empty, literally only saw one other guy on the course. Worth the hot deal rate of $30 for sure, but certainly wouldn't pay the regular rate of $75.

Great course

The fairways & greens was very well manicured. The rough was a little high but looked great. Each hole was a challenge and the Par 3s was not easy...lol. I shot a 110 and I'm an unexperienced player, the course challenged me to make better shots. I will definitely return.
