We play here often and like it. Course in good condition and reasonably priced. Just wish that rangers would do their jobs and speed up slower groups as we had two very slow groups in front of us. Kills the experience. Almost never met a ranger that did his job. :(

Except for the tollway…

This is a solid muni that I will always downgrade because several holes are so close to the 294 tollway. Even with the big ugly wall, you can hear the traffic on several holes. The course layout is fine but nothing spectacular. It is very well-maintained, including fresh sand in the bunkers. The practice area is grass and better than almost any public course around. The Tap House Grill is a pleasant option for a post-round meal.

Decent, well maintained

This course is slightly above average. It is well maintained, but it's not particularly interesting. Hole layouts are a little basic, except for maybe 2 holes on the back 9. I will say that Larry the starter did a great job with a weird tee time scheduling issue. Needless to say, he was helpful and got my round started expertly well.

Nice course but terrible customer service.

Overall the course is nice and clean. What made the experience bad was the poor customer service. The employee named Steve was not friendly at all. As soon as we got there, he was yelling and shouting at us and other players. I would have given 5 stars, if the guy was more polite.

Starter is a Jerk

Course was wet but otherwise okay. Starter Larry came up on 1st tee and told us to speed it up, which is hilarious. That guy doesn’t have a clue. But if you ignore his presence, it’s a good time.

Cart girl won’t come out until 11, so pack bag beers if needed.

They jerk you around to take your money

Went out to play and was told they only have tee times after 530pm. Get to the course and there’s no one teeing off. 2 holes in they pull my group off the course for lightning in area. The pro shop is closed at the time and they don’t issue rain checks. They have this policy of issuing no rain checks after 530pm. I came from another state to play this course and the treatment was absolutely disrespectful and they hide behind their policies of saying it’s on our website. The course ranger could have told us no rain checks would be issued like the rest of the golfing world would have easily done. Extremely disappointed with the conditions and especially the treatment.

Absolutely terrible

1. ZERO WATER on course. 88* and they didn’t even set up 1 igloo cooler, anywhere!

2. ZERO beverage cart service

3. ZERO rangers on duty

4. Extremely aggressive starter. I mean, atleast pretend you appreciate the business. As a single golfer, I noticed that all golfers at the first tee were respectful to the staff & other golfers. There should be no need to be that aggressive & impatient.

5. It was weird, I paid as a single WITH cart, then they charged me an additional $15 to remain in the cart as a single. I mean, there was no shortage in carts. The 2 others that I golfed with chose to walk. So why should I pay an extra $15 to ride solo?

I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone & I don’t think I’d ever golf there again.

Good round, just a bit slow

Our foursome had a good time. Quote was in pretty good shape, although the green were very hard. I’m sure because there’s been so little rain. Only issue was the piece of plate. Had to wait on most holes.
