Slow play

3 foursomes of teens playing in front of us seemed to just be goofing around. No ranger came out until the last four holes. Almost a five hour round. Not normal for this course.

Golf course

This is a wonderful course. The ranger actually went around and checked player pace. Was a group that was holding up play. Ranger told them to play ready golf. No issues from that point on. Entire staff extremely helpful.

I have never seen a public course ranger be proactive

Many blind landing areas!

The shape of the course was excellent. The lack of intermediate rough and many blind shots makes it difficult for your 1st time playing the course. Greens were in good shape.

The course rip us off on cart rental rate of $23 per person...Once you get to the course you have no choice but to pay their inflated charge.

Sorry you lost a customer!!

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.
