Love everything about this course. If they redid the cart paths it would be one of the most booked courses in the area at a higher rate

Great trac

My buddy and I each drove 25 miles to play and once again we were not disappointed. Challenging layout, nice course conditions and friendly staff all combined to make it one of our favorite destinations.

Great deal on Golf Now made it irresistible..

Nice course

The layout is top notch and the greens are great

This course is hard so play can be slow so I try to visit in off peak times. I went on a day with light rain so pace was great.

Hidden gem

Unique layout with challenging features and narrow fairways. My favorite cousin to play I've found in Mchenry County. Very friendly and accommodating staff. No fancy bells and whistles with the carts, just good old fashioned golf.

A real treat

What beautiful views, with the trees changing colors, this course provides some excellent vistas. Dynamite layout and great conditions make this a must play...especially in the fall.

Thanks to Golf Now, got a good deal.

Nice course horrible staff!

Course was great the staff were horrible. Purchased a foursome and was unable to fill all four spots, no consideration was given for a rain check even this late in the season? Staff also said they don’t receive any money for my golf reservation through your site, so they won’t acknowledge or give consideration to adjusting my reservation, I paid for four but only had two golfers, not a bargain!
