Course conditions

Aberdeen was a premier golf course in Valpo years ago. They need to redo all of the tees by leveling them out and reseeding them. Some of them are completely shaded in which grass won’t grow. Almost all of them are humpbacked. Some of the tees are completely destroyed. Some we had to hit off the dirt. There also needs to be some trees that need to be cut down because it affects the tee shots. The trees I’m talking about are close to the tees itself. The rest of the course is well maintained. The greens are fast and roll true! Fairways were also in great shape.

Wet conditions

Course layout was fair. Started from gold tees. Moved to green on back nine. Many fairways and greens were wet and spongy.

Tee boxes.

Many of the tee boxes were chewed up and many have a slope or ‘hump’’ to them. This course use to be one you get up for, now it’s still good but not what it once was. The pace of play was atrocious and never saw a ranger to get things moving.

The greens and fairways were excellent and will continue to play there.

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.
