Midlane Country Club

My family arrived at 3pm for a 3:30pm Sunday tee time. We were told we could go out at any time as the starter had already left.

There was no ranger on the course. There we two separate groups with 6 golfers in each group and one with 5 ahead of us. They did not seem to care about pace of play and with nobody left to manage the course it was taking 20 mins to golf one hole.

We kept skipping holes only to run into another oversized groups. Others normal size groups began jumping holes causing confusion on who was playing what hole.

Also there were no yardage markers making it impossible to tell how far out you were. There was goose crap EVERYWHERE and the course was in awful shape

Avoid this course like the plague.

my Grandmother before she died used to tell me if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all ... but I will say this I’ve lived on this course for over two decades and I couldn’t even begin to count how many times I’ve played it. I know the course literally like the back of my hand with my eyes closed at night. Not completely stoked about the way I was treated tbh

Our traveling league (20 seniors) played Midlane last week. We had played the course last year in July and found it not in the best of shape. On our recent visit it had rained heavily the previous afternoon so the course was wet but not unplayable. The course was in much better shape this year.

The staff was friendly and helpful. It is a challenging but fair layout at a very reasonable price. We will be back.

Nice course

Challenging but fair

Lots of water hazards

Great staff especially cart girl!

Staff got me off the back instead of going off behind 5 foursomes in the front 9. Course was wet, but drained well. No cart restrictions. Greens were solid. Course layout is tough ALOT of water, and houses.

Overall B

Midlane is always a great course, the staff is always friendly the rates are good. The course was in good shape after all the rain we have had. It's always a pleasure to play Midlane.

I really liked Midlane in the past. I had played on a permanent tee time and had a membership there for 5 years. I left for Thunderhawk years ago but I come back to play this course 1-2 times per year. I was really surprised how poorly maintained this course was on Memorial Day weekend - a time when courses should be showing themselves off. Not one bunker was raked by the grounds crew, greens were not cut and much slower than other years. There were an incredible amount of weeds growing in the rough, an obvious sign of lack of upkeep. The management also let customers drive carts everywhere and during this rainy period of weather, the carts have ripped this course up a lot. My guess is that ownership is not doing well with the course or it’s hotel and banquet facilities and they just aren’t putting the money into it for the upkeep. I have always liked the layout and if the deal wasn’t good, I would not play here for full price. Sheppard,s Crook or Thunder Hawk are much better.

What more do you want? 140 slope from the tips, forced carries, small greens, wind, light rain, and low 50’s weather. Glorious.

I’ve played Midlane a bunch and still love popping up from the north suburbs. While the course definitely could use some improved maintenance, particularly around tee boxes and the practice area, this track is challenging, interesting, and fun.

there were no water coolers on the course and the beverage was seen twice once on the 2nd hole and once on the16th hole. when we tried to call the cart over we were ignored. I understand the rule that you need to purchase beverages from the club but that being the case either have water coolers or enough staff to accommodate your patroons. we were pretty dry after 18 holes.

I played this course 2 or 3 times a week last year. It has really gone downhill under new management. Greens and Tee boxes are in horrible condition, with no seed in sight. They have had over a year to fix the flood damage, but no work is being done to repair bare spots.

I wouldn't play this course again even if it were offered free.

Please restore this course to it's original glory!

I really like the challenge of this course. It’s fair but tough to score.as low as you think you should. Lots of unique holes to make it very fun to play.

Following huge floods of 2017, Midlane Golf Course has rebounded extremely well! There are some spots that you can tell the course had been damaged, but it certainly did not ruin our game at all. GREAT JOB Midlane staff!!

Lastly, Midlane's Customer Service was spectacular. All of it - from the golf shop to the beverage cart. They all went out of their way to make certain we have an enjoyable day. They all treated us like we were family and that they truly appreciated our being there. Go ahead, give it a chance. You won't be disappointed!

Shocking! Can't believe how bad this once beautiful golf course has fallen apart. The greens are absolutely worn out and not even worth putting on. Can't play from the sand because it's like concrete. Just had to pick my ball up the couple times I landed in there. Goose poop all over the place, fairways and greens. Also, I have never seen so many divot holes on the greens at any golf course in my life!! Oh and can you please take a little time out of what must be a busy schedule and fill up the ball washers as all of them were empty! Can't recommend this course to anyone until they get out there and fix the problems even if the price was almost free. Customer service was just as bad, what a shame Midlane!

Well maintained and challenging course beautiful layout I will definitely be coming back staff is very nice as well

I have been playing at Midlane since the late 1990's and it's condition has really deteriorated. The fairways used to be lush and both the greens and sand traps were well manicured. This is no longer the case.

The maintenance of this course has really slipped and there was no grass seed available in either the carts or on tee boxes. Furthermore, there was no water available on the course.

While the course has a great layout, I will not play it again until the reviews of this course substantially improve.
