Odyssey Golf Course

I played Odyssey for the first time this year. last year played 3-4 times and the course has taken a downward spiral. the greens were full of divots, the sand in the traps were as hard as I seen and the tee boxes were in bad shape.

For the price I expected what I got last year a good well maintained golf course.

As with most courses in the Chicago area, the Odyssey golf course had a long hard winter. The fairways were quite beat up and patchy with a lot of bare spots. The greens and tee boxes were in ok shape. I thought the layout of the course was well thought out and makes you use all the clubs in your bag.
The staff at Odyssey was fantastic. I somehow booked a hot deal through Golfnow.com for a Tuesday and showed up on Monday. The course was closed due to a large outing, but they worked around it and had me start on #13 and play through. I felt like I was the only one on the golf course. Again, I was especially floored by the courteousness of the staff. They went above and beyond what I expected to make sure I had a great experience.
Overall, it is a good course that needs some TLC from this horrible winter we endured. I expected it to be in better condition than it was, as many other courses have rebounded faster. I will play Odyssey again in a few months because of the staff and hope that the course has found its way back to what I have heard it should be.

The golf course was in pretty good shape. The rough was cut down but looks like it can get pretty thick there if they grew it out. The greens were very good - they were probably the only reason I would play this course again at some point - though I wouldn't pay more than $40. To me, the course didn't have any distinctive features that make me remember any holes - except for the 16th has a cheesy 'island' green - I do remember that. The carts were filthy. All in all, the round was enjoyable and the pace of play was good.

I played this course on a weekday, Wednesday afternoon. The staff was very courteous and paired me up with a father and son, which made the round quite enjoyable, seeing that I was a single. We played the course in about 4 hours and really had nobody ahead of us till hole number 14 and those gentlemen allowed us to play through, which was very kind of them. The course was in fairly good shape, I would say about a 7 on a 1-10 rating, the greens were browned out in several areas, but the ball still rolled true on those areas. The course has one hole, number 14 , which is short but extremely hard, it should almost be considered unfair. But all in all I enjoyed the course, especially the price, which I obtained from Golf Now, what a great program. As a retired person Golf Now is a great program to golf at reduced prices and it puts golfers on the courses, which is good for business.

2 hours and 45 minutes for the back nine on a Tuesday during the day. Lots of retirees that have no urgency and do not allow players through. Clubhouse does nothing to encourage faster play.

The course was in great condition and very scenic. I truly enjoyed my round as well as my golf partner.

I really enjoyed my round the staffing was great very positive. I had never played the course and was pleased to see the great condition of the fairways and greens. It was a light rain and 45F so the course was wide open. The greens rolled true and were in fine shape. I liked the shape of the holes. the Par 5's had lots of left to right and right to left shots fun course.

LATE IN THE SEASON COURSE STILL IN GOOD PLAYING CONDITION PLUS FREE COFFEE!

Course was in great shape, staff was really friendly. If the weather holds up I will definitely be back out there this year.

5+ hour round. No one to keep people moving. Course needs attention and the Golfnow rate was the same as their winter rate

Golf course was is good condition, flower beds need attention from weeds. Otherwise course was in great shape for this time of year. Thirteen, fourteen did me in on a great round. Beware of the doglegs.

This is one of my favorite in Chicago area. The course is beautiful and well-maintained. Some courses have difficulties but mostly moderate.

Good pace of play. The back 9 was the highlight of the course. It had some nice hole designs, especially hole 16 with the island green and 18 coming into the very impressive looking clubhouse. The front 9 was okay. My foursome was immediately turned off by the state of the greens. They were filled with ball marks, gouges and dry spots. My buddy had a 6 ft putt hit a ball mark, pop up into the air and stop dead. With the golfnow hot deal the course was average value. I definitely wouldn't pay more. There are other courses in the area that are nicer and kept in better shape for the money. Also we were looking forward to a cart girl but instead got a cart boy?!

Overall experience very good. The play moved along and we enjoyed the courtesy cars for the water and refreshments.

Course in good condition. Pace of play was steady/fast.

Not in good shape. Greens need attention. Too many gease, ducks, and other birds living there. Not a bad layout, but they need to correct the problems.

Very nice course. Has challenge for every level of golfer.

I really like this course, I have played it 5 times in the last 2 years and I can say that it is easily in my top 5 courses in Chicago, I have played the Ravines and even that is behind Odyssey.

Nice layout pretty challenging...needs some work on the fairways and greens...Will play again...

The golf course property is located in a residential naborhood with luxurey homes carved throughout the course which was very nice to the eye when playing a round of golf. The back nine has some very challening holes 10, 13,14, 15, 17, and 18 are the most difficult holes coming home.
