Streamwood Oaks Golf Club

Our threesome arrived before 1030 for our 11am tee time. When I checked in at the pro shop, the man said we 1) Had to wait until 11 even though there was no one around 2) I would have to ride with a fourth player. I said I would walk even though I had paid for a cart. We discussed it further and he said those were in the TeeOff agreement- no deviation from the time and cart sharing with strangers was required. Around 1045, he said the three of us could go without the fourth. I walked rather than revisit the cart issue even though it was in the 90s. We won’t be going back.

This course is a lot cheaper than other courses around Chicagoland. It only costs $15 per person for 9 holes and a cart. Friendly staff, too. Will play again.

I play this course often, and yesterday I asked myself, why? The tee boxes are in terrible shape,; uneven chewed up, bumpy. The staff is really nice, but, despite a posted dress code they let some guy on the course in a sleeveless ratty tee shirt.

I am a local resident and it was threating rain all day but I figured I would try and squeeze in 9 in the afternoon. I was going to head out and play but decided to use tee off and save $5.00 to play with a cart in case it rained hard. I got there over an hour early and nobody was on the 1st tee and only two groups went off during the 1 hour the guy made me wait. Again no reason he couldn't let me go out with nobody on the course but chose to say, sorry its the rules. The greens were so slow you would have trouble even getting the ball to the hole. I could live with that, but making me wait 70 minutes for no reason is not acceptable. I offered to walk in case it was the use of a single cart by myself was the issue, nope made me wait. It may be the closest course to my home, but it's never going to be on my list of places to play again.

Well I observed a course in Patience and Professionalism by a staff member of Streamwood Oaks named Al that was quite admirable. The person I was booked with on the site showed up late for the tee time and was yelling at this staff member Al who was checking in guests about taking his own cart. He kept this up while this staff member Al explained the rules Streamwood Oaks follows. This person kept yelling and demanding his own cart and I walked away because I was already late on my tee time from waiting and wanted to get to the tee box. I then observed this staff member Al walk outside with this person yelling about taking a cart to the parking lot that was not permitted and offered him a push cart to walk to the lot with and pick up his clubs. Whatever the reason this person had for his demands YOU DON'T SHOW UP FOR GOLF LATE and then make demands and treat someone with disrespect. My compliments to the staff member Al for the way he handled this situation. The course was in great shape and extremely difficult. Clubhouse was spotless and comfortable. Staff and management top notch.

I have never been treated so badly in my life at a golf course I purchased a tee time off of hot deals from golf now and never had any issues. I ended up being 5 min late and the front desk guy was a complete jerk to me and said well your late so automatic no refund and you cant play. What a joke just because he hates his miserable life doesn't mean he should take it out on others. I didn't see anyone on the first hole or about to tee off or anything. I understand I was late and even offered to skip a hole to be back on a time where I was supposed to be he still said no. I understand if they were really busy but they seemed very slow to me. What a complete joke to Streamwood!

Many reviews complain about the unfriendly staff but I have yet to run into any such problems. The course was not crowed and the pace was great we finished in less than two hours

I enjoyed playing first time here. Some tee boxes are under repair but overall, course is in good condition. Watch out for driving in to houses as they line up on left of fairways. Water in play on several holes.
