Hidden Gem

Very nice golf course. A little bit of a drive from Chicago but well worth it. Sand in the bunker can be improved other than that course is in great shape.

great track

loved the course layout. visually very appealing with rolling hills and wood lined fairways. A fair, old style golf course. Bunkers are dirt and rocks - not good! if this were addressed I'd give it 5 stars

Great Layout

This course is showing some if it's age, fraying around the edges a bit, but the layout through trees and rolling hills more than makes up for a few inconsistencies. The biggest problem would be bunker maintenance. I guess they just thought to not put sand in them and went to dirt. The problem is most are riddled with stones that can damage clubs.

Shot course

This isn’t simply a bomb and gouge course. Every hole is distinctly different and you get to use most cubs in your bag.

Well worth the money..

Variation

This course forces you to hit shots not bomb and gouge. Was in great shape. Greens were tricky first time out. No holes were the same.

Still Nice

I played Aberdeen on 04/16/2022 with three other friends of mine. It's been a year and a half since I last played here, and I am happy to say the course is in remarkable shape for this early in the year. The bunkers were raked, and the greens rolled smooth. The gentleman operating the pro shop / snack shop was very friendly and professional. I will be back.

Only back nine was open

Booked last minute, but upon arriving to course was told play was only on the back nine. I pre-paid for 18, so was told to play the back nine again and they would have a slot available at the turn. When I come in from my first nine there were 3 groups waiting on the tee box and since I was playing as a single didn’t feel like squeezing in between the foursomes. I went back in and requested a refund which the course will do. I think there should be more disclosure on this in the app or website. Otherwise was fine and will be back when the course is fully open.
