Slow pace of play, layout questionable
Tee boxes very close to each other on different holes, greens fenced off from other areas, no driving range ( it stated it did have one online) and a 5 hour round means a lot of frustration.

Srained well
We've been playing Joe Louis The Champ g. c. for may years. The course used to drain poorly following rains. But now with additional areas that used to flood set aside as fescue / rapraian and natural areas for wildlife, the course was very playable following 2 nights of rain. Enjoyed the round as I had avoided the xourse for the last 8-10 years. Now its back in my Chicago southside "rotation"!

Great Value
This is a very nice course with a good range of shots needed. Not too much water but lots of overgrowth(intentional) grass bunkers. The sand bunkers were flooded and in disrepair, but the rest of the course was great. The greens were very good!
