Once we arrived we were told that the grass was very high so it may be difficult to find your balls. We thought that maybe he was slightly exaggerating but quickly discovered that it was an understatement. You could hit in the middle of the fairway and the ball would be lost. With fees we paid approximately $37 per player. We should be reimbursed $20 each. If the course is not maintained then the cost should be commensurate

I have been playing this course for the last six years. Course conditions vary from fair to excellent. Last summer the course was in great shape.Today I played on a course in poor shape. There were no fairways, and the green were uncut , slow and extra firm. Sad to see what had happened in the last year

Pretty much echoing what others have said. Course is in awful condition. The rough is unbearable. You can clearly see where it went in, but when you get to the spot there’s about a 90% chance you won’t find your ball. I can’t even say good things about the fairway either. Sometimes hard to tell where the fairway begins and the rough ends. Greens roll way too slow and are filled with ant hills. The guy working behind the desk was the only good thing I have to say about this course. Overall I won’t be back until the conditions start to improve

The course was in terrible shape. The greens were slow and as tall as a fairway. The fairways were burnt or long, the rough was overly high and you couldn't find your shot even if it just rolled off the fairway.

Never play this course!! Horrible conditions, fairways are trash, tee boxes are trash, greens are garbage and the rough is unplayable. Save your time and your money.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this course currently as the condition of the course was not up to par. I’ve played this course a number of times but rough was so long you couldn’t find your golf ball, fairways grass was also long and burnt out in a number of spots. Greens hadn’t been cut in awhile, super slow. Pro shop almost empty and bar closed, could be staffing issues.

Could be a great course but there is no difference between the fairway and the deep rough. (Grass way too long) even in the tee box

Layout is awesome but there was no maintenance at all

Green was like fairway and fairway was like ruff areas,

Dont waste your money, until they have some maintenance done on course

This course is still being groomed into better shape. I played it yesterday. The greens are cut, they play a little slower than Deer Creek. The fairways are cut but the grass is in poor condition.

THIS IS NOT A COURSE in Tournament Condition. But if you are a Beginner or want to just get out on a course that isn't crowded. It's fine.

The new management team is trying to get the course back and now has new equipment.

YOU can definitely get on.

One staff person said fairways were a bit long. Problem was, you cant tell the difference between fairway or rough. Person stated they were still recovering from rains. Heavy rains were at least 3 weeks ago. They must have had their mowers stolen. Because no one is tending to the course. Greens were in good shape, but really slow. Hope this isnt the norm for this course now because its a really good layout and fun to play. Have played it at least five times last year and was never like this.

Tried giving them another chance, but again they were closed. This is the second time this has happened to me. I tried supporting my local course, after my last round, what a joke. The fairways, not rough was cut. You can lose a ball on just about every hole. The last in the office told me that they hadn’t cut the grass because their lawnmower was broken. I thought she was joking, did I find out how serious she was. It is unfortunate how bad this course has gotten

this course shouldn't be open in its current condition. I felt like someone stole my wallet on the way to the course every time I book is literally stealing money I went there on Father's Day weekend and could not have been any more disappointed. The bar is not open no golf equipment to buy in the clubhouse T's golf balls Etc they still had strict covid restrictions even though Illinois is fully opened up the fairways are as long as rough the rough it's 5 in + long in places you can lose a golf ball on almost every hole the greens were tore up.... don't go here

I learned to play golf on this course 30 years ago. It breaks my heart to see it in the condition it's currently in. The grass in the fairway is as long as the rough and the rough is more than ankle-deep. The bunkers have grass growing in them and are 50% submerged due to The recent rain. It is my hope the course will experience a comeback as it is now under new management.

I love this course and was sad to see that it was in poor shape today when we played it. The people who run the course indicated that they were having an equipment issue, and realized they have a problem, and appear to be taking steps to rectify it. I give the young man I spoke to credit for acknowledging the problems (uncut grass and general neglect), and I will definitely give the course another chance later in the year. I really want this course to be what it once was!
