Pasture

We lost a total of 8 balls in the "fairway" cause it hadn't been cut in what seemed like weeks. When we got there we couldn't hit balls cause they were cutting the range, but every "fairway" was average rough length. Probably would have been better use of resources to actual cut the course. Around every green was standing water cause they punched the greens and were obviously watering them to try and get everything to grow. Then after playing 9, we had 2 new 3somes in front of us cause they sent people out on the back.

Layout is great, but the Fairways are not!

First time out this year at Wicker Park. Memories are great but today the course was not what we expected. The fairways were like the first cut of the rough. And the rough was extremely thick. Balls were hard to find and sometimes lost after.just rolling off the fairway. We know it rained a lot but to only see half your ball in the middle of the fairway is not fair. Will try them again next season.

Frustrating

It was raining but the course was open and workers said we couldn’t get a rain check because we booked through Golf Now. Workers were rude.

I tried calling golf now and was on hold for 15 minutes before I gave up. We tried to play in the rain for a while since we couldn’t get a refund but it sucked so we quit early.

Bad experience overall with the Course and Golf Now

Sand traps

I was disappointed with the sand traps. They had no sand and were hard mud.

Grass cut , but not picked up

I very disappointed with the fringe. The grass had been mowed but not collected. This made it difficult to play and many of my balls were lost.

Backyard Golf

Everything about this golf course feels like it was a project built in someone’s backyard. Greens are the size of postage stamps, mowed to the same length as the fairways, and covered in goose poop. Bunkers are small odd shaped patches of sandbox sand dumped on top of the grass surrounded by a perimeter of weeds. They should be charging no more than 20 dollars for a round based on the conditions.

You are not a country club

Tee time at 7am on a Saturday was approached on 4th hole about pace of play because of the men’s club (not professional golfers!!!!!) were complaining probably because I had my daughter in the foursome which by the way is better than 90% of the MEN who think they are professional golfers out there who was also told last time sweetie you should probably move up to red tees when she drives the ball 200 or more yards said they might have to tell the group in front of us they might have to skip some holes if they don’t pick up the pace haha maybe tell men’s club to be first tee time out on weekend if they don’t want to be held up and make tee time intervals more than 7 minutes apart this place is supposed to cater to veterans which me and my buddy are only to be treated poorly twice you are a public park course there are no professionals out there sorry to break it to you played the round in under 4 hours on a packed Saturday NOT SLOW if any of the professional golfers out there would like to play me and my daughter she could show you a thing or twenty

Staff was rude

Had a friend there that was his first time golfing. Im also not very good. One of the staff members came up to us before we could even finish the first hole and said maybe you guys belong on the range and not out here. Demanding to see our receipt and keeps talking down to us trying to get us to stop golfing
