Nice local place.

You get what you pay for here. Nice place, friendly, inexpensive, and typically a quick round for 9 holes. Could use some work on the bunkers. Greens in good shape, fairways are nice and well kept. The only thing better for the money would be if golfers could be more considerate repairing ball marks on greens, and replacing divots.

Make sure you play fast!

My 15-year-old son and I played at 7:10 a.m. after we found it the night before on GolfNow. For only $10 we thought we'd give it a shot. It was what we expected for the money. Staff was friendly, course was pretty easy, which was good because we are both novice golfers. Had a couple in their 60s behind us. Met them at the 2nd or 3rd hole. No big deal. Until the 6th. I guess we weren't playing fast enough. When we were setting up our second shots, he yelled "C'MON LET'S GO" FROM THE TEE BOX. Totally disrespectful. My son told me to take it easy and let them play through. We did without incident and I told the attendant of the issue. I guess they play their semi-regularly, so beware. Maybe if you go later in the morning you can avoid them. I would recommend the course with the caveat mentioned above.

Good for Quick 9

Got a sweet deal on Golf Now at 7 am. Played a quick 9 in 1.5 hours shooting solo. Decent course. No water, but a fair amount of sand. Recommend for a quick practice round.

Nice community type golf course. You get alot of bang for your buck. For often $10, one gets the green fee paid.

not even worth the bargain price

groundskeeper screams at foursome in front of us for some unknown reason during hitters backswing. figured it must be a one time thing. nope, does the same thing to us because we took cart no 34 instead of 35 or some such number. he also poses as a ranger. course condiyions were disgusting. you have to hit a forced carry over a creek on 9 . water was down exposing a washing machine or stove or something . that was just a couple of headaches there were more. stay away

Course was in awful condition. Needs much water. Bring a hammer to hammer tees into the ground. Will not golf there again!

Quaint out of the way GEM

What an awesome find near my back backyards (live in Oak Lawn), they keep course well manicured for a reasonably priced course (and nothing worse than dealing with rock hard sand in the bunkers because of lack of attention, but not here, soft as a .....), though it would have been nice to have sand fill in the cart for us courteous golf ears that actually fill in our divots that can't be replaced in areas. I highly recommend all that want to get in a quick 9, or play a fun 18 that repeats, so worth it!!!!

brutal pace

2.5+ hours for a short 9 hole course is unpleasant. the twosome in front of us were playing the tips and should have been playing the front tees. looking for lost balls on nearly every shot and NO ranger to get them moving. Makes golfing on this course not fun.

Palos Rob, don't complain when the review goes negative. The first rating is for course pace, his was poor and that is what he stated. A ranger might be in order to watch pace of play. These comment help other and can help the course as well if they choose to react.
