good golf

wanted to play 18 with my friend and saw this place as a good middle ground for both of us. Course was amazing, fairways are great, greens are great, all in all good time. Green fees are worth it here. Would come and play again

Great golf experience

The staff at Palatine Hills is amazing… so friendly and helpful…Gary, Dan, Mike, and Dale are great ambassadors for the golf course.

Palatine Hills has a nice practice area, course was in good condition, and it was enjoyable even though I had the high score in my group. I’d encourage you to set a tee time and experience it yourself.

Palatine Hills- good local course

Good golf course. Good mix of challenging and moderate holes. Course had some recent aeration and several greens were sand treated, however, it still was playable and we really enjoyed our round of golf. Get a tee time and you'll enjoy it.

Greens

The 1950s greens need to be updated. Terrific course, kept in great condition. Love the layout. They just need to upgrade the greens. Take a look at your competition. Schaumburg, Fox Run, poplar creek, and more….

Nice course…but

Nice course, great staff but thought that charging $36 for a golf cart is a bit ridiculous. And we even got the senior rate. Still expensive even with discounted golf vouchers from Golfnow.

This is gonna be a good one

Accidentally hit into someone, yelled fore, and nearly hit someone. The drunk guy proceeded to yell at us and call us r*tards even when we went up to apologize and make sure everyone was ok. Seems like these park district courses attract the scum of the earth that don’t have manners and golf etiquette. Loved the course tho just killed the vibes. Be careful out there and shrink the game.
