An attractive looking course

It's an attractive looking course, still very green in November. The front 9 is superior, with some rolling terrain and holes a bit more interesting. Hole 2 was my favorite. Back 9 is flat, and more cramped with narrow housing boundaries and water hazards. The greens were a good speed, but a bit choppy, perhaps due to aerification a while ago? Pace of play was good, the golf carts are great, and the restaurant is nice. It was a positive experience, and I would go back.

Bad day

Had a tee time at 11:50 in the afternoon and were told that they were switching out carts throughout the day. But while approaching hole 4 our cart died and had too call 4 times to get a new one. It took them about 35 minutes to bring us the new cart and when it showed up it was filed with left over French fries and garbage from the last time the cart was out. First time I was at the course and possibly the last.

Course was just aerated, so greens were a lil bumpy and sandy, but tis the season. The rest of the course was in good shape. Pace was a lil slow but a former Chicago Bears player, his wife and company were in front of the group ahead of us, so, pretty cool. Over all a good experience and would definitely recommend to anyone

Fantastic

Course was in great shape and it’s very challenging. The only thing we wish they had was someone serving drinks during the round.

Jose C.

The course is in really good condition and tests all your golf abilities. The pace was a little slow, but the course was packed. Bring extra balls since there are a few holes with tight fairways. The hot deal for $50 is a fair price.

Great Course!

This is a great course. I am not a good golfer and it was one of the harder courses I have golfed. The grounds are spectacular, tons of staff working to keep it nice. Refreshment cart came by 5 times on our full round. Luxury quality golf carts.

Great course!!!!!!

Fantastic course, fun layout and great conditions. Unfortunately I was a single stuck behind a slow foursome who couldn’t take a hint. I understand a ranger isn’t a needed on a Tuesday morning but cmon guys. Five hours as a single is nuts.

Still five stars from me though as I recognize this wasn’t a course issue!

Amazing experience!

From Texas, I met my cousin from Chicago to play here. Both our first times and we’re already wanting to make this a yearly trip.

The course was stunning. Nicest public course I’ve ever played on, and rivals the private courses I’ve been lucky enough to play. For the price, experience, friendliness of staff, restaurant, cleanliness, you can’t beat it. What a great time! Although it’s not a terribly long course, it has a great layout and you have to play strategically which is great fun.
