Cute, challenging course

My wife and I enjoy playing this picturesque layout. Running alongside the Fox River provides some nice views as well as water hazards on 2 holes. While the length is not long, the course still demands some precise shot making. The grounds are in very nice shape although the greens could be cut a bit shorter and rolled to make them a bit faster. Overall, I recommend this course.

Outstanding layout; average course conditions

Great layout with nice undulations and curvature. Outstanding finishing hole. The fairways had quite a bit of standing water and there were a lot of dead spots. Greens were as slow as I've ever played. With a little TLC, this could be a gem of a course. Thanks for having us!

First Time Playing

Why haven’t I played here sooner?

I’ve been living in the western suburbs my whole life and played Potawatomi for the 1st time today. I could feel the presence of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and imagine the old steam bulldozers working the land near the river! Pretty cool and no I wasn’t consuming eatables…..yet. The golf experience was perfect and walking the course made it even better as I generally ride. It’s definitely worth trying once and I’m willing to bet you’ll want to play it again like I do.

Beautiful day and the course was in excellent condition. Maintenance staff did a very good job of clearing leaves from fairways.

Unfriendly Staff

Times the manager hasn’t been flexible: 3:40 tee time with my 7 year old. “Nope, no carts after 3:20”. I explained he won’t make the round walking that. “Nope won’t do it”. Try and book as a single player. “Nope we don’t do that”. Ok can you add me to the threesome teeing off? “Nope, go make friends”. This place is so frustrating to try and play.
