Midlane Country Club

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.

Good fairways and quick greens.

Great Course! It was in great condition. Some of the tee boxes were over ran with goose droppings but we just moved up or back.

First time playing the course. Talked with the Pro at time of check in and he gave useful tips about certain spots to be in off the tee. Greens ran very true, just a tad slow, but we were an early tee time 6:10. Condition of the course and the layout are challenging. Only complaint is there is no water stations on the course and we did not see a beverage cart until the 17th hole.

Will return.

Course is challenging and in good shape. It was a very hot Saturday afternoon; there's no water on the course and we did not see a cart once. The pace of play was horrendous; no ranger, 4 groups piled up, we actually left after 16. We had a great deal but will not come back.

A good value for a suprisingly challenging layout. Course is well maintained, and generally has a good pace of play. Worth the exta few minutes to drive to.

I've golfed this course quite a bit and I like the value I get as its a great layout. Just needs a little bit more groundskeeping maintenance and some more sprinkler yardage markers. The one thing I haven't really tried out but will next time is the practice facility as it looks excellent. Other than that, its one of the best values on golfnow.com and I'll keep coming back.

overall great experience, course has 1st class pro shop accommodations great food and super helpful staff. A very challenging layout that favors the conservative shot approach. cant wait to play again soon.

Great course and difficult with a lot of water around. If you are not bringing your A game you might want to bring a dozen balls. I play here numerous times in the year and the staff is great. They have a range to warm up and the greens are fast.

First round of the year so we played for pretty cheap. It was a Tuesday in the afternoon so no one was out. Greens had just been sanded but besides that the course played great.
