little chilly in the morning but getting warmer in the afternoon, quick 3 hours round and back nine are interesting.

friendly staff allowed early play since it's not busy at all and good round.

Amazing Course

Didn't expect this course to be so nice for the money that I paid. Very well-maintained and very nice layout. Been bragging to my friends about it. Will definitely be playing this course more despite of it being 33 miles away from my place.

Not expecting much.but pleasantly surprised

We arrived and was pleased to see they have a driving range . Part of it was under construction so just minor distraction. Nice club house and check in was easy and staff was very friendly. Front 9 was a bit narrow and straight up and down for the most part .conditions we nice and decently groomed .the real value comes when you come to the back 9 .completely different course. Beautiful wooded area and still well groomed .greens were in good condition.cant complain about much here .great course for beginners and intermediate.

Kudos to the Groundskeepers

This is the closest course to my parent's house, so I've been playing it off and on my whole life -- I've never seen it in better shape than it is now. At $19 walking it's now a certified steal. Way better condition than any of the forest preserve / muni courses I play closer to the city, which are nearly double the price. Great to see the love the groundskeepers are putting into my old home course. Had a great time playing and will be back. Challenging but fair difficulty.

Good course for higher handicap players.

For $35 with a cart it’s a great course for bogie golf. The greens were being Airaited during my play so I missed out on a few holes. But greens longer grass then expected so slow puts.

Overall a good public course. Worth playing
