The course was in great shape for early fall. Greens and fairways were immaculate. A good test of golf for sure.

Cold and rainy but course played great

We played Midlane in mid October. It was in the upper 40s and rainy. The course held up great even with all the water form the last week. Pretty open and not too difficult. Has some great views from tea boxes (for just being 60 min north of Chicago). Definitely would recommend and will play again next year.

Nice course, and great value. The fairways and greens were in great condition. Generous fairways but some tricky greens, and I used almost every club in my bag, a great time. Staff was very friendly, we will definitely go back

A hidden beauty and a real challenge

Course was in great condition. Wish I could say the same for my game yesterday but I would have to say the course , even on a good day for me, was one of the most challenging gold experiences I have had in awhile. Expect to loss at least 6 to a dozen balls.

Twist & Turns

I really like this course and hope to return. I learned a lot and my score should be better the next time.

The staff seemed to have problems with check ins and tee times. That lead to a slower than needed round.

A great day

This course is in really great shape. While others in the area are having problems with greens this place is without those problems and is in very good to great shape. It was most enjoyable for all.

First few holes, the pace was good, but then the bottle neck happened. Had to wait 5 minutes each time to tee off. Course was in good condition. Staff was very courteous.

Course was in great condition. Lots of water but easy to stay away from. First time out in 4 years after accident and shot 99. Not too difficult. Foursomes were quick and let me play through.

Best kept secret in Chicagoland

I had recently popped up from Chicago to play at Thunderhawk and learned that there were several other high quality affordable courses in the area. It was nice to get out of the city a bit and shoot up north for Thunderhawk so I figured I'd give Midlane a chance. The reviews online were great and the price could not possibly be beat. I was shocked to discover what a beautiful, challenging, and fun course exists on the property. The staff was fabulous, the course was in great condition, and the round was swift, and pleasant. Midlane is slightly less challenging than Thunderhawk but at half the price as a walker, it's a steal. The course presents a number of challenges, particularly water, but I loved that the hazard placement pushed you to think your way around the course. I played from the blues walking and had a great time. The facilities of the resort community could certainly use some updating. The clubhouse took me back to 1985 and the range looked a bit beat up and in need of new yardage signs not taken from Tin Cup. But aside from cosmetic issues, a drive up to Wadsworth is time well spent for a wonderful golf experience. Pair a morning round here with an afternoon at Thunderhawk and you've got golf heaven. I'll be back again and again. Best bargain in the region.

Midlane Golf Resort

Midlane is a great golf course.

IF more people knew about the golf course, it would get more play.

The greens are always smooth.
It has a good variety of holes.
It is well designed with bunkers and hazards in strategic places.
No wonder the L.P. G. A. Tour played it in the early 1970's.

For the price of a round of 18 holes, you can't beat it.

Overall the course was in spectacular shape. The greens showed no damage from the bad winter of freezing. The fairways were in excellent shape.

The practice facilities were above average.

Midlane / Nice course

Very nice condition and great price with Golfnow.com. Course was set up very nice but I do prefer to play a more wilderness surrounded course. Playing in between all of the housing is not my 1st preference. I would rather play in a more wooded back to nature setting but I will play it again for the price I got.

Challenging yet fun

This course was beautiful and challenging from get go. The challenging aspect is the amount of water that is surrounding about 60% of the holes. While this may be exaggerating a little bit, it definitely feels like that. Overall, for the money, this is one of the best courses I have ever played.
