The course was good. I didn’t have a driving range, however it did have a chipping green.

Average course

It’s a good course, will go back. It’s near your next to an old Air Force base. No driving range at all, there is a chipping/putting green.

Let go…..

The dandelions make it impossible to find your ball even if it’s 5 yards off the fairway. Makes it far less enjoyable. At least do one pass around the fairway with weed and feed (a couple times , takes one guy one day or less to do all 18 holes and keep it cut………..also, the putting and chipping green gets cut last so if you show up early to chip you will not gain a feel for the greens at all…….

Decent course

First time golfing there, was worth the 90 minute drive considering the deal that was going on. Everyone, from the workers to other golfers, were extremely pleasant. The course definitely needs some work with dandelion control. The bunkers were not impressive, typical with what I see at many courses in Illinois. Would definitely come here again.

A shame it’s gone downhill.

The greens were nice, appropriate muni medium speed and almost no pitch marks. I suspect primarily because of lack of play. The cost of $40 on a weekend sounds good but it isn’t worth it when you factor in the goose poop everywhere, no maintenance in the sand for years (I have played this course since 1988), a starter who cannot tell time and screws up, making the round well over 4 rounds on a three hour course, and finally, no food. Once known for its breaded tenderloin sandwich, now grab a plastic wrapped ham sandwich from the fridge.

It used to be a decent place to go and now it’s a dump. The course is ok but you can do a lot better. Oh, one more thing. I shot my best score of the year when I played, too.
