So-so at best
Find me a bumpier course, cart path or fairways....and where is the ranger? Had a 3 some and 2 some join in front of an inch of twosomes. Added at least an hour to the round

Needs Better Mgmt/Course MAINT.
Staff was nice. $18/person for a cart is a joke. Gas carts are sluggish and suspension awful. Not worth $36 to rent one cart when the greens fee was $33. Fairways were overgrown. Greens average for a busy muni course. Rough was awful. Very hard to find ball. Over grown, not even a challenge, just miserable playing out of it cause of the quality of grass. Could be a good local track if the mgmt took better care of the course.

Go to course outside of Chicago
Great course close to the city. Excellent to get out and walk especially if you get a twilight rate.

Save yourself while you can.
What an absolute disgrace of a course. Between searching for balls 15 minutes each time it lands in the rough or going airborne over the bumpy fairway, this course will take your money with a smile. The course is incredibly unkept. The rough was unbearable. When searching for a ball 5 feet from the fairway, I think my group lost 10 balls. There were leaves on the fairway that had to have been from March. This course hasn’t seen a lawnmower in ages. Was expecting a lot more. Bartenders were pretty cute but besides that pass on the course.

Not coming back
I’ve played this course many times but this was a terrible experience. It seems like the course hasn’t been maintained in over a month. The fairways are like rough and greens are extremely uneven.
Don’t know what’s going on with the grounds crew but it’s UNPLAYABLE.
Don’t waste your money, go somewhere else.

A kin to theft
There is no way you could convince me this course owns a lawn mower. Fairways were like shag carpet, rough was worse than winged foot. What a joke. Not to mention all in the round was like $70 with a cart. Could have played harborside for that same price... you know or hit a golf ball around a public park. Would likely be better kept.

Thick rough
The rough was so thick that we spent some time looking for our balls that could've been easily found if the rough was kept shorter. The pace of play could be faster if the rough area was mowed shorter or more often.

Best track on the north shore
Hidden gem of a course. Greens keepers and maintenance do a fantastic job and the place was in great condition. Target golf at its finest. Would totally recommend and they have a par 3 course for practicing short game.
Great facility, great short course and nice people.

Grew up in Winnetka
Grew up playing the par 3, have been playing the 18 for the last few years. It is sad to see that they have stopped taking care of the course. Golf has exploded since the beginning of Covid, you would think that the community would want to invest and keep the course nice. Weeds everywhere, rough that is too long for a public course, patchy grass, etc. Vert disappointed to see what has happened.
Would push the ball right off the fairway into the rough and know exactly where the ball landed, yet when we would drive up, we were still spending a few minutes looking for balls. Completely unnecessary in my opinion.
What used to be a lovely course has taken a significant step back compared to the other courses in the area. Will not be coming back for some time.

Good conditions
Like the lay out tee to green. Interesting dog legs & water over par 3s. Some trenches for water holes kind of hokie. Can be tough to find your ball in the tall rough. Overall, like the course.
We’ll be back.

Great course play here a lot
I golf almost every day. Have seen a lot of courses and at a lot of staff that run courses. Winnetka is always a pleasure doing business with. Always worth the money and always treated like a paying customer should be. Definitely recommend this course if you are an avid player.

Oasis from the city
Reviewing par 3 course.
The short layout is nice, very environmental friendly.
Since it was a beautiful November day, lots of golfers and you will have slow pace of play. Considering many different types of golfers of mainly higher handicaps play, the conditions are as listed, so it may not be the grounds crew fault for that.
Very homey type feeling here, lots or polite solid red blooded Americans that frequent this course, unlike the sesspool of dirty politics in the city of Chicago, land of the illest noise.
Thanks to the manager for the post par 3 round bucket for the range, it was needed and I'm glad an honest Abe could tip your lunch for the following day. Would recommend Winnetka recreational area here, lots to do and plenty to be thankful for!
