Oak Brook

Greens were very slow, pace was slow, layout is odd, they could stand to add some length to some of the par 4’s. Tee boxes and fairways are in good shape I’ll give them that but the greens were disappointingly slow.

Imagine having to putt through ruff your entire round...

Those are the greens here. Punched in July? inconsistent greens as well. Course used to be solid with great upkeep on the greens. Not so much anymore. Gotta pay for that new driving range gear somehow. Look elsewhere if you enjoy playing on greens that roll true, are taken care off, and dont have dead spots everywhere. Won't be playing here again.

Boring layout; poor greens condition

The amount of ball marks on the greens here are the worst I’ve ever seen in 40 years of playing public golf. The holes are also really boring and quite short. For $90, you can do a lot better than this.

Pace of Play -- Meh, and No Ranger Support

We play almost every Friday around 8:30 a.m. (foursome here for over 10 years) — the course is geographically perfect for our group. The scorecard lists a 4:20 pace, which is reasonable.

But lately the club has been allowing league groups to go out ahead of regular tee times. This past Friday it was three league foursomes right before us. When checking in, I asked whether the leagues are expected to maintain pace and whether it would be enforced. I was told yes, and that the ranger would keep things moving.

That didn’t happen. Our round ran more than 30 minutes longer, and we never saw a ranger once.

After the round I spoke with the head pro/manager Rob M. He confirmed leagues are expected to keep pace. Not only were we inconvenienced but every group behind us was also. His attitude was the disappointing part — somewhere between indifferent and condescending. His response included “deal with it” and “we’ll try harder.”

What a shame. (Karen and Rob)

Hi, I really held back from posting a review but I had a bad taste in my mouth from the experience we had at Oakbrook Golf course.

I hate to start of with saying with I dealt with the stigma of a Karen but funny enough the person I first encountered in the pro shop was a women named Karen, unfortunately she was very unpleasant and dry and could tell she was annoyed with how busy the course was that day…

After dealing with her she didn’t even ask us if we knew where to go.

Next what really made things worse after the pace of play was already starting our tee time late because they allowed a wedding group of 16 people golf together without keeping them at a minimum pace of play per hole.

To add the cherry on top, I walked in to voice my concerns in the pro shop and “Rob” was enjoying his lunch behind the desk and the other employee looked absolutely thrilled to be there as well.

Rob proceeded to finish his bite and wipe his hands and tried to hear my concerns with food in his teeth. He seemed to be surprised when telling him everything that went wrong and proceeded with “oh im so sorry, i hope you give it another chance. I don’t think i would like to come back after spending 300-350 total for my day at Oakbrook.
