Wilmette Golf Course

Always a great round at this pretty challenging course. Actually got caught up at 10 and paired up with another twosome, who were super cool. Thought the back nine would be much slower but moved very nicely. Course was in good condition. Stopped in the bar afterwards and had a really great craft beer. Definitely be back soon....

We signed up for a Hot Deal for a midweek round. Due to the rainy weather in Chicago, they were not letting carts out on the course. Pro Shop took good care of us, giving us range balls & hand carts and went out as 2 some. Finished in 3 1/2 hours walking.

Course is in prime condition-the greens are smooth and fast, the fairways are green and lush, the rough is consistent and thick.

Greens are in great shape but a lot of the Fairways are in bad condition. Not grown in or burned out.

I purchased the 2018 season pass, and I enjoyed playing there. The pro shop staff was, from day one, friendly and welcoming. The course is challenging for players of all levels. I definitely recommend it, and most likely will join it again next year.

I like to play at Wilmette GC as often as possible. It offers very easy access coming from the city, early hours for us that have to work, friendly staff.

My friends and I had fun on this course. It's unfortunate that it was wet and the greens were recently punched, but we didn't have trouble playing.

One down side was we thought we were getting motorized golf carts, but we got walking carts. We didn't mind because we needed to get the steps in anyway.

The tee boxes and fairways were all in great shape. The only problem was a few of the greens. At least 4 were in pretty bad shape with mud, ball marks and spine marks. Could have been that I played in the afternoon but I haven’t seen them like this before. Friendly staff and a challenging layout. Will be back.

Well designed course, perfect greens and great staff.

This could be best muni course on North Shore if only the grass was in better shape. Nice layout, fast greens, bunkers in good shape, but man the fairways kill the experience. Pace of play was good too. Hope grounds crew can perform some magic on grass though

I have played Wilmette for many years and was excited for the renovation in 2014. I love what they did to improve all aspects of the course. But there have been consistent problems maintaining the fairways in even moderately good condition. After a promising spring, 2018 is no different. The fairways are hard, bare in many spots, crusty in others, and rarely lush. Not sure what the problem is, but I think I’ll make this course a once in a while stop rather than my ‘go to’ golf course.

Been playing here for 20 years. Worst shape ever. Greens are fine. Fairways are horrendous.

I highly recommend this golf course. It was in the best condition that I have ever seen it and I have been playing this course for 25 years or so. I know they had a lot of renovations done to this course and it paid off I believe. The fairways looked pure and the greens were rolling true. Very good time! I played early and that helped because we did not have to wait that much.

Course is a lower end public course, sorry but true. Terrible maintenance.

This Golf Course is currently in the best condition it has ever been! The fairways and tee boxes provide perfect hitting surfaces due to the tight root structure. The aprons to the greens are cut tight to allow for either a putt or a chip up to the hole-on every hole. The rough is thick yet kept at a playable 3" height. The greens roll fast and true and hold most any shot. Plenty of undulation to challenge the best of putters. Strategically placed bunkers keep you thinking placement off the tee. The grounds crew keeps the edges neat and trimmed and I've noticed the traps are groomed daily.

The improved drainage and regulated cart use is really paying off. The golf staff was very professional and polite as well. To the Head Golf Professional, Superintendent and General Manager, job well done guys! Thank you

The only downside is the restaurant. Unfortunate because it's hard to beat the setting overlooking the 18th green. Great spot for a cocktail-if they poured even a moderately good pour. The beer is cold however.

The new management will need to be replaced before I bring the family back. Servers were good but while we were there the management micromanaged the servers at almost every turn. At one point the New Manager interrupted our conversation with our server to speak about another table not having water, yet other servers were standing at the ready with water pitchers close by.

The Father's Day buffet food was unappealing to look at and pricey. Most of the food was not hot. Plus it tasted like it would be better suited for a boutique hotel buffet rather than the hearty family friendly food you would expect to find at your local golf club-as it once was.

I bought the season pass to play weekdays, and I think that it offers a very good value. The condition of the course in general is above average. The fairways are in great shape and the greens are some of the best in the area. The staff at the pro shop goes out of their way to help in any way they can to make your experience a good one. The grill is also a good place to get a bite after your round.
