Go to course

This is my go to course because I live in Lincolnwood and takes me 15 minutes to get there. Usually don’t have a problem getting on and rates are fair. Although as most courses, I believe they overwater. I prefer a firmer course.

$75 to walk!!!

Decent old park district course . Nothing special. Greens were very good , pace of play was surprisingly good, I had heard reviews of slow play. We got it on a good day. Green fees are very egregious , $75 to walk!! I don’t think it is worth $75 with a cart. They have good location so I guess some people will pay it. Not me!

Great local course.

Quick consistant greens, lush manicured rough, bunkers that drain water and well groomed fairways. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, great food and drink at the Lawn restaurant while you sit out on the patio and watch players come in on 18.

This course is a wonderful experience.

Nice course, great greens

I like this course it’s not long but has enough water and trees in play to keep you thinking.

The greens are good speed and in nice condition. The only down side to this course is the price. I got it on a Hot Deal for 28 dollars to walk .

Expect to pay 50 bucks to ride.

Love this course

One of my favorites in the Chicago area. The greens are pretty firm right now but hopefully they’ll soften up later in the season.

Playable Course for Early Season

Greens were running consistently and are in good shape. Fairways were a bit rough due to it being early season. No rakes in the bunkers which was not good and frankly, not a very big ask. Clubhouse and starter were someone courteous, nothing over the top courteous. Restaurant staff was nice but soda was only available in to go cups. Will play here again as it is so close to Chicago.

Not worth the cost IMO, pricey and loud

Played Wilmette for the first time and have to say was pretty disappointed. The pro shop staff was a bit salty and unwelcoming. I also thought the golf cart price was a bit high. It was 40 for two of us to share a cart! Most places it’s half that. Green fees were 55-60 which for most courses in this shape is good however this courses first 3-4 holes have the main garage shed in between them and it was constant grounds vehicles moving around us in addition to some sort of rock/ground quarry that is night next to the golf course which made was also super loud and distracting. So overall just not a real peaceful round of golf. There are plenty of other places just as nice, that are more peaceful, have a staff with better attitudes at a better price point than this one.
