Winnetka Golf Club

Course is in fantastic shape and a great deal for the money. I highly recommend the scores. Great course if you like to walk.

First time I've ever made a tee time, shown up for the tee time and basically had the course tell me that they couldn't honor it. I had the first tee time of the day, and the course canceled my tee time since they were under a frost delay. They told me that they'd be able to get me out to play but couldn't guarantee when, since everyone that had a tee time prior to the frost delay would be considered "stand-by". I waited at the course for about 90 minutes (had a 7:08am tee time and left the course at 8:45am), as they still had no ability to tell me when I'd be able to play, and I got to watch about 12 other groups tee off right in front of me. With so many other options to play in Chicago-land, definitely never going to play this course again.

Haven't played this course in 7 years.

Winnetka is a really nice course but needs some repair work due to flooding.

It's a shame bc this place is so close to the city. It just really feels like they're letting this course go. I'm not exaggerating that when you ride in a cart it feels like ski moguls. Fairways are patch and it seems like there is some serious decay, water smells foul and there are flies all over the course. The layout could be great but it's not, there are small patches of water everywhere and it doesn't really make sense. Won't ever be coming back unless this course is redone.

I played this Winnetka Golf Club for the first time on a weekday afternoon in pretty sunny conditions at around 80F. The tee time through GN included a cart, which is convenient, however, opt out - don't get one or trade it for a push cart if you don't want to carry your clubs.

The course is build on old swamp land. You will notice this - so I was told - in wet conditions after heavy rain. The course does not drain very well and the management installed pumps. Unfortunately the houses around the course drain their water in the ponds on the course, I was told.

In dry conditions this is giving you whiplash on the fairways when riding the cart. There are bumps and ground waves all over. These will collect water and when it dries you will see a lot of brown, burnt grass.

It has not effected my game.

You'll find large greens - all of them where sand injected in the morning before I played. Not fun, but I am happy to see the course is taking maintenance serious. On 12-14 holes, you'll encounter very manageable water hazards. As a beginner, hit from the white tees.

Fun course during the week in dry conditions. Wide and open fairways with a little water and tree lined.

I played here at 7:00 am with a friend. Course was VERY soft. Struggled a lot because a. My friend wanted to play from the tips, and b. I don't like soft conditions. The tips are extremely hard! Unless you're under a 10 handicap, don't play them. The course looked okay in April. Wasn't what I expected. I am going to play Tommorow and I took a peek at the first hole from the the 9th hole at the par 3. It looks AMAZING!!! It's a traditional course with a hint of links in the traps. Greens are pretty easy. Don't be surprised if you have a lot of 1 putts. There is a LOT of water. Keep it straight as water is in play on 16 of the 18 holes which includes every hole after 3. Bring a lot of balls. They got some very hard holes. 18 is a make or break hole. If your going to play this course, play it in July or August. I didn't get an accurate result on pace of play because there was nobody there and my friend was so slow. We played it in 4:30 and he had a push cart. I'm a fast player so it was annoying. Twilight rates are great! Overall, this is one of the best public courses in the summer months.

Course is fair but I do not recommend riding of a golf cart because the terrain is bumpy. Where ever you go you'll damage your kidney. Don't know why the course is so bumpy.

Course was in good condition and the pace of play was ok. The weather was overcast and a little chilly bu t we played in a little over 3 hours. I thought it was a good value for the money

Course Very Good condition and good location..

Old school course layout with small greens and tight fairways. Leave the driver in the car! If you want to score well here you have to keep the ball in the short stuff. Anything outside of that is pretty much dead and you will be scrambling just to make par or bogey. Overall, cool course that doesn't bode well unless you can shape some draws and fades. Greens slightly slow in my opinion but roll true. Will play again!

I haven't played Winnetka in almost 25 years but still found it enjoyable. It was my home course at New Trier West high school back in the 70's. The conditions are what you would expect for a municipal owned course but overall decent. The people working there are very nice. 17 & 18 are tough finishing holes. I stood on 17 tee one under for the day and walked off 18 green one over. The greens were real nice for April. Bunkers need some work but it is April.

The course is just waking up from a cold winter season; with trees budding and the beginning of gorgeous flowers the course puts out. Next week literally millions of daffodils should be smiling at you as you search the rough for your ball. It's a challenge to most as you'll find as you make your way around the course. The friendly staff has this year really reached out to welcome us golfers! The driving range is a great place to practice.

Got to course at 10:20 for an 11:23 tee time. Pro shop would not let me register or take my riding cart until 11:00. Greens were sanded and extremely slow. All ball washers were removed. I would have been angry if I had to pay full $33 greens fee.

Greens, tee boxes and fairways are good. There are a lot of leaves and the bunkers are a bit inconsistent but understandable for this time of year. The staff is very friendly and it's a laid back course with lots of walkers so the pace can be somewhat slow if you are riding. Most people don't seem to mind but it may bug you if you're in a hurry.

I love this game and what it stands for so when I give a scathing review of the poor management at Klein Creek so they can change their ways, Golf Advisor should not reject it. Otherwise what is the point of leaving reviews that could potentially help other golfers and increase the credibility of your site? Are you here to advise on course conditons, amenities and Customer Service or are you here to advertise and sell tee times?

18 holes in 4.5 hrs is slow for a weekday but I've done it in 3.5 hrs here too. It just depends on who's in front of you. The place is kept up well, fairways and greens are nice. Staff is friendly enough. Driving range and practice greens are nice to have too. Wish there weren't mats on the range but oh well. Overall I liked it.

Golf carts new but way way too slow. Open them up beyond a slow walk pace

Great course and good value. I would definitely like to play it again.

Great course layout. Green and Bunker design better than expected.
Challenging Greens

Felt like a second class citizen because I booked a cheap rate on golf now.com. If the staff doesn't like the rates offered by golf now they should discontinue the relationship.
