Eh.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I had to write a negative review about a golf course, but unfortunately, this is one of those times.
This review has absolutely nothing to do with how I played, but everything to do with the terrible pace of play. The two groups ahead of us either didn’t know proper golf etiquette or simply had no understanding of how to keep up with the pace of play. To make matters worse, there was no course ranger around to monitor the situation or help keep things moving.
For a shorter course with no par 5s, there is absolutely no reason a round should take 2 hours and 30 minutes. Golf is supposed to be enjoyable, but spending that much time waiting on every hole takes away from the experience.
I understand that golf can get busy, but maintaining a reasonable pace of play is part of the game. Having a ranger available to monitor the course and address slow play would have made a big difference.
Unfortunately, the poor pace of play really put a damper on the overall experience. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements for future golfers.
Salt creek
It was hot outside but the course was in great shape. Bring bug spray. The flies were bad. Can't count it against the course. Just a friendly heads up
Fun Course for Beginners
I always enjoy playing golf at Salt Creek. I’m not a great golfer, but I have fun. Salt Creek has a wonderful, kind and friendly staff. I didn’t use, but I appreciate the addition of the player assist driver and the services offered.
Nice and challenging
The course is in excellent shape. Greens are true but slow. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The price is great! I will definitely play here again.
Salt Creek
It's a good course to just fu*" off on. Everyone is cool out there.
Great course with a lot of amenities
The course was very short, which isn’t bad for the beginning of the season, but when we played the blue set of holes, there was a huge backlog of people
Confusing layout
Played here for the first time, thankfully they were even open but the course was soaked (understandable due to all the rain we’ve had) I booked 18 walking however when we got there it was 2 9 hole courses, when we finished the first 9 (Blue) we were supposed to play the white course for the second 9 but there was a six some on the tee box. When we asked about it we were told to “Just Jump in wherever or play the blue course again) very disappointed
Early Season
We like playing this golf course. Two nines, one on the shorter, simpler side (White), one a bit more challenging (Blue). Note, no par 5s but some very long par 4s. Course was in decent shape for early in the season. Staff is still working to get it opened. Tee boxes unmarked. Some greens needed work. Walking only. No power carts. All in all, still wonderful to play early in the year. Should be in tip top shape by their first outing .
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 .
