Staff revamp

Course plays good, pace was good, we were patient with the 4some ahead of us( beginners) and they left after 9 holes. The back 9, however, the ranger cone came at us loudly and demanding we pick up the pace. Never listening to us explain we waited for the 4some in front of us and now he’s blaming us for the back up. Try being out more before blaming slow play. Once we hit the 11th hole, no one was behind us for almost 2 holes. The starter was rude and just felt he didn’t want to be there. Golf is fun and competitive, let’s keep it that’s way, no need to bring your agitation to the course or your PAYING consumers.

Very nice park district course

I have played here many times. The course is not very hard. It was very well taken care of for a park district/community course. I thought the value of the course was good.

Very slow play

Rangers need to do a better job moving the slow groups up.

Best public course?

As good as a public course gets in Chicago. Challenging. Excellent condition. Nice bar and bartender. Greens are about 80%. The rest of the course is 100%. Excellent GPS on carts. Popular but not crowded. The feel of a country club.

Solid value

One starter nice. One starter completely insane.

Course was in insanely good condition especially for $29 twilight. I was very happy with it. Had to play through a group that took 20 shots on the first hole but all good. Layout is super boring but pretty easy good place to tune up

Consistently good greens.

The greens are the hero here. True and fast. Makes the course more challenging than it looks.

Course received heavy rain before the start of the round but drained incredibly well. Tee time was delayed by weather and you wouldn’t have known it rained by the 2nd hole.

Ranger was incredibly rude

It’s a nice public course but the ranger ruined our round. Came up to us on the 17th hole out of nowhere and disrespectfully told us we were playing too slow. The hole was a 320 yard par 4 and we waited for the green to clear as 2 of the people I played with are capable of driving the green (one of them ended up driving the ball pin high just off the green). We were being courteous and wanted to avoid injury and when we told the ranger this, he disregarded anything we had to say and drove away without a conversation. Golf is a very expensive game and it was a perfect day out and nobody deserves to be talked to the way this ranger talked to us.l especially when we were respectful the whole time and paying a lot of money to do so. If we were playing slow the whole time and this was the second or third conversation, I understand. But he was incredibly rude and it was discouraging to be talked to like that. I live in the area and will think twice before playing here again.
