Walking Rate

This course is an experience with potential. We had no tee box locations throughout 18 holes so we used our radars to gauge the distance. Some holes we could not meet the distance as the flags were pulled up too short. The conditions of the tee box, fairways and greens were all left to be desired. As a beginner course there is etiquette to be taught for attendees and the course could benefit from obtaining more and better push carts as many golfers were left without one available to use. Potential is there, current operation can leave players disappointed.

early golf in chicago land

though it is early in the year , I have played other courses that have opened up early , but are in better shape . I've played it twice in 2 weeks , and the same tree branch debris is still on the course and greens . i would if you are open for play , they should at least blow off greens and pick up branches .

Just ok

- Course is small and feels cramped

- Tee boxes were mostly weeds

- On the back nine, I'm pretty sure a group of kids behind us cut the line and then hit into us several times.

- No food at the turn at 10am.

First time here

The course is in really nice shape, the greens well manicured and even the sand traps raked and prepared for play. The staff were quite friendly and accommodating.

Playing 18 holes took us a little over 4 hours, which wasn't too bad. The back nine was a little backed up and slower than the front 9.

Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and like the course.

Beginners course

Was very sloooooowwww pace. Lots of beginners. All beginners deserve to golf of course and they paid just like anyone else. It was just painfully slow. Otherwise the course was in great shape. Its definitely a feel good about your game course with lots of short holes.

Not playing again

The only real bright spot at this course is the attached driving range—which honestly feels more like a Topgolf experience than your typical warm-up spot. It’s well set up, fun, and probably the best part of the whole facility.

Unfortunately, once you get past the range, things go downhill. The pace of play was painfully slow during my round, and while the ranger made laps around the course, there was zero enforcement happening. Groups stacked up and no one seemed to care.

Course conditions left a lot to be desired. The fairways and greens were rock-hard, making it tough to get any kind of spin or proper roll. Not to mention, the golf cart I was given was sticky—like, noticeably grimy to the touch.

To be fair, one issue wasn’t the course’s fault: several groups were loud, shouting across fairways and being generally obnoxious. It’s the kind of thing you sadly come to expect at a bargain course, where etiquette sometimes takes a backseat.

Overall, if you’re just looking to hit balls at a solid driving range, this place is worth a visit. But if you’re expecting a decent round of golf, you’ll probably leave more frustrated than fulfilled.

Horrible Course

I would ONLY recommend playing this course if you are brand new to golf. You will see 0 etiquette, and teenagers running the course that are friendly but don’t know what they are doing. Scheduling tee times that run right up to and interfered with a league is something I’ve never seen on a golf course. I left after shooting 9 because I didn’t want to spend 5 hours there, would never go back.

Fun but disorganized

Played this with two friends. We got stuck behind a golf league after the marshal sent another 4 sum out during our Teetime. The group infront of us played a 6 sum the entire time abd we saw a few groups of 8 playing all together. We waited 10-15 minutes on every hole. This was an executive course and should not have taken more then 3-3:30 hours to play. I think we finished in 4hours and 45 minutes which was incredibly frustrating.

The course itself was super straight and greens were flat. Enjoyable for people just getting into golf but did not provide much of a challenge.

Humbling

I didn’t know what to expect , but what I soon realized is that my short game needed work. This course made me concentrate on shot selections . As a novice golfer I enjoyed this course very much and will be returning.. The narrow fairways were challenging . Their staff were friendly and helpful.
