Great 9 hloe layout

A beautiful course located right on the Fox River in St. Charles. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., it is an interesting mix of holes with water coming into play on 2 holes including an island green. Course is not overly long, but requires course management and shot making to score well. Overall a great value in a beautiful setting! Want to play 9? Highly recommend.

No course management

Tee time was 11:30. Four groups in front of us waiting. 20 min after our time we finally got off. Never saw a ranger. Slow slow slow. Top it off with golfers driving carts on the green. There’s more. You get the idea. It’s too bad. It’s a nice little course.

NO RANGER...MAKES THINGS SLOW!

Nice public course...wet in some spots due to the terrible storms we have had. Walked 9 holes. Was slow due to 2 ladies in front of me who really didn't care I was by myself waiting on every shot.. Makes for frustrating round to wait. I would return again, but would make sure it's off peak time.

Nice 9 hole course.

Plays fairly quick. Constantly upgraded facility. Greens and fairways very good shape. Great choice for time challenged golfers. Right along the Fox river and can flood so check after a major rain.
