Midlane Country Club

Under new management. Shook hands with the owner. Stand up gentleman and head pro Mike is an honest man of his word!

This course has the layout, tee shot complexity, green speed, and challenging holes to adequately test a professional golfers game. Yet it is still enjoyable for the amateur golfer who loves quality courses for their buck. Though a 50min drive from the city I'm playing there on Memorial Day!

Course was in excellent condition. Greens were good speed. Layout is old school mixed with ne school. What makes the course challenging are the greens and pin placements.

Great shape. Fast greens. Friendly course for the amateur. I would play there anytime. Friendly people. All was good time.

Best course on GolfNow in northern Illinois by far. Hats off to the course supervisor! I'll be back!

It is a beautiful course, with lots of water and natural beauty. Many challenging holes. Great overall value. This course was selected to be a Qualifier for upcoming US Open. Head Pro Mike Chappell and his staff are first rate and continue to make great improvements. Check out their new website an Go play. Enjoy.

November golf. Cold day, but course condition was impressive. Very few playing so speed of play was awesome. Played 36 holes in under 4 hours.

Started playing Midlane in the early 80's when the pro shop was in a barn. Always a fun layout, I stopped coming after the 27 holes they grew to, were being developed for housing. Finally came back this year (after a 12-15 yr layoff) 3 times. Each visit was better than the next. Very friendly pro shop staff. Not crowded early in AM. And, I like the routing and variety of holes now as well. The only throw away is #6. Used to be a challenging par 3 but now a terrible, forced carry par 4 that needs a huge facelift. That said, the greens were phenomenal and not just for November. Smooth and FAST. Give it a look, you won't be disappointed.

Played Midlane today for the first time and I was very impressed. Greens and bunkers were in great condition, especially considering the time of year. Water comes in to play on 14/18 holes which gives you a nice challenge and I had to use all the clubs in my bag. Staff was very helpful (talked with Mike in the pro shop and he showed a lot of passion for both the course and game). Highly recommend this course to anyone.

played on nov. 1 and the weather was outstanding for november, partly sunny, upper 60's. Course was in excellent shape , greens rolled nice.

The Good: Midlane is an interesting, well-conditioned Robert Bruce Harris (designed The Brute) track in far north Chicago suburbs. Residential course that meanders through a lot of houses, yet secluded enough to not feel claustrophobic. Nice triad of Par 5's and a couple great, demanding Par 3's. Decent variety in Par 4's. Above average greens that putt very quickly. Nice clubhouse and nearby lodging is nice touch. Good practice facility, albeit not conveniently located, has full range, putting green and short game area. Good value: course reduced fees by 50% prior to aeration.

The Bad: Pace of play continues to be a challenge with this course. Tee box areas are uneven and in mediocre shape. Greens putt true but many had goose droppings all over them. Service is average at best. No restroom areas and no GPS on carts. Too many blind shots off the tee for the average golfer.

The Verdict: Midlane is a decent option in the North Shore area due to bang for the buck. Pretty fun course that could do without all the geese. Nothing special, nothing terrible.

Best Hole: Par 5's are strong, but the long Par 4 12th is a beast. Tight drive requires soft draw and then approach to a sliver of an elevated green.

The was well kept and the greens were splendid. I recommend this course.

I used to play this course on a permanent tee time years ago - when this was one of the top courses in the area. It is not maintained nearly as well as it has in the past. That said, the price for this course was fair.

Still a good layout - greens had good speed but the players who normally play here really hurt the course by not fixing divots and ball marks. Not the courses fault - that is what you get when you drop your prices.

Nice course. Well worth the visit

Solid course to play with friends for a day.

Nice little course hidden in the Gurnee area. Great layout, well bunkered with water in play on seceral holes. Greens ran fast and true. Pro shop guys were outstanding.

Issue with biting flies near the water hazards, bring insect repellant. Other than that, no complaints.

Plays long enough from the tips, and clever elevation changes around greens make accurate irons a must you really should try this course.

Overall nice layout and in good Condition except that they over water ! Tee time was at 8:40 and there still was standing water in the fairways Way too much watering

I understand it is hot but over watering causes its own problems

Pace of play is average. Never saw a ranger and they could use one Played in 4:15. A little too slow. Played another course on Tuesday about the same time and played in 3:06. - threesome both times

Problem is not only theirs. Many courses think 4:30 is a good time.

Live about 50 miles away so have to get a great deal to come back here

Excellent practice area, course was in very good shape,

two negatives: women's tee boxes are very small and no beverage cart service during the whole round. Value rating based on hot deal tee time.

Course is always in great shape. Lots of water and some tight fairways make it fun and challenging. Good staff that is always friendly. Saw the cart girl plenty of times. Always a great place to play any day of the week.
