Course Highlights
The course consistently holds up well in varied conditions, with well-watered greens and fairways that drain impressively after heavy rain. Welcoming staff and an on-site restaurant add to a well-rounded outing at a strong value.

Best around

Comparing this to Glencoe, Winnetka, and Deerfield this one wins by a landslide. Some of the tee boxes are a little goofy but if you keep your head on a swivel it’s all good.

Tight, but good layout.

Play slowed down right behind a senior ladies’ tournament, resulting in 4 1/2 hour round on a weekday morning.

Good course design although be alert for errant shots from other holes as course is jammed into a pretty tight space.

Course and greens are in good condition with the notable exception of the drainage issue on #10

Pricey for what it is.

Course well maintained with respectable greens but tight. They fit 18 holes on land for 14. $74 riding on a Weds AM= disgusting. But these snobbish North Shore tools will pay it. I won't again.

List its charm. Over charge on carts for us that require them. Pace of play terrible.

No longer think it's worth the time or money. Takes too long, costs to much. Way better options available.

Everything is great except

You book a golf now date and yiu pay on line which is fine and yiu get your rewards off the round of golf 10.00. When you rent your card they tell you $ 25.00. But it’s suppose to be 20.00 not 25.

The course is in good shape. The recent fairway drainage work should be helpful preventing wet areas. In the summer, the course appears to need more watering than it gets. Overall, the ‘golf club’ experience is good.

Per person cart fee killer

Played this course multiple times over past few years. Always great shape . Unfortunately no longer the case at the moment , drainage reconstruction on ever hole , sand filled fairways with lots of missing grass due to renovations. Greens were still in great shape , consistent , and well managed. The excessive 20 per person cart fee makes the value of the course for what you get really plummet , especially with conditions .

Much better options for the premium price they’re charging during covid times.
