The Captains Club Golf & Event Center

Played at 1:04pm, pace of play was excellent. Due to a lack of rain the fairways are dried out. Some greens have brown burn marks on them. I wonder if they’ve been watered at all during our recent drought. Course is in need of some TLC. When I walked into the clubhouse to check in, there was nobody at the counter. I eventually located the cashier sitting in an adjacent office texting on his phone. If I were a criminal, I could have walked out with an overpriced golf bag filled with golf balls and hats.

This is late June and five or six of the greens were totally burnt.. this used to be a very nice course but unfortunately like a lot of the courses in this area the quality has deteriorated. I doubt that I'll be playing here until late summer or maybe even next year

Excellent Value, Played sunday evening started at 4 completed in 3.5 Hours, Tees were in Good Shape, Fairways had some rough spots but mainly due to rain, greens were hard but held were a little slow but overall in good shape. The Evening value for the cost with cart is very good,

Might actually be the worst course around.

Greens are so bad, fairways non existent, bridges are death traps. This is not just an end of season problem.

First time playing this course. It was rumored to be a great new course back in the late 80’s, with a famous golfer designed layout. Fast forward to today, it’s in deteriorating shape. While the layout is decent and the property is nice, the maintenance and upkeep is something to be desired. The cart paths are uneven and bumpy, the tee boxes and sand traps are unkempt, the hole markers (which are large rocks with Raymond Floyd’s likeness engraved on each one) are crumbling and sometimes unreadable. It’s a shame that it has been let go over the years, as it will take big bucks to bring it back to quality condition. I wonder if Ray knows about the condition? But, for the cost to play (GolfNow), it can’t be beat. The greens are in really good shape and run true. It would a good place to have an outing. So, the review is…go enjoy a nice round of golf for a pretty reasonable price.

Should have closed the golf course and did not allow golfers to play. Water all over 18 holes fairways ang greens. Worst condition ever experienced at the Captains Golf Club.

The bar and restaurant were closed because if the worker shortage. The course was a little tore up, but that was more the fault of disrespectful golfers not replacing divots and driving carts through wet areas. It’s a very nice course with plenty of challenges.

We played Labor Day weekend. The layout is wonderful the staff is extremely polite and friendly. I didn’t give five stars because the blue and white tee boxes were in horrible shape. Curious because the greens and fairways were excellent.

Amenities average because there is a lovely restaurant on the premises but when I in took my group inside for lunch after our round, all they had to offer were hot dogs.

I was very disappointed with our round at the Captains club. The driving range was in poor shape, we had to hit well forward of the tees to get any ground to hit from. The tee boxes were rough, the greens had large bare spots. The greens were in good condition.

The pace of play was quite slow, and the ranger attempted to speed things up and was nice.

We saw the drink cart 1 time (actually before the 1st tee) and she was nice but only had Gatorade and water.

At the turn, we went in for a hot dog (1:00 on Sunday afternoon) and they had none (there were frozen still??), so we agreed to a turkey roll which they said would take 5 minutes. After 20 minutes we were informed they didn’t have any tortillas to make the rolls. They agreed to refund our money, but it has not been refunded.

I would stay away from this place. The staff is friendly but general management seems to be lacking. Our worst experiences this year by far.

I made my tee time Friday midday for Saturday am. We arrived 20 minutes before our tee time. The starter was more interested in socializing and cracking jokes and when I could finally get his attention he said they had an outing and they were backed up. He didn’t have us on the list and asked if I booked on GolfNow and said there was a problem with the this service. 20 minutes past our tee time still no idea if we could play, I went to the office and they gave me my money back. . There were 5 foursomes waiting to tee off. He ignored us. Very unfriendly and snooty.. Do not recommend and will not go back.

Heard great things about this course but it was very disappointing. The layout was good and you can tell the course was well built, it's just not taken care of. Being a former greens keeper I would say it's a lack of resources being put into the course and a grounds crew that doesn't know what they're doing or just doesn't care. For starters the course was extremely dry, which is honestly strange considering the amount of rain we've had in the last few weeks. I would say nothing outside of the greens gets any water. The tee boxes were in horrendous condition and very few were actually level. The fairways were very dry, a lot of dead grass and disease. Same goes for the greens. Although they were mostly green, they were in pretty rough shape. They were dry to the point that we were clubbing down because it was so hard to get a ball to stop, even with a wedge. Most of the greens also had disease which appeared to be going unchecked. An example of the crew either not caring or not knowing what they're doing was the green on #6. The green is massive. Yet, the current hole location was cut within 5 feet of two recent hole locations. One them was within 2 feet of the current hole and not replaced correctly. It was bizarre. I haven't seen something that amateur hour in all the rounds of golf I've played. The course just isn't worth what they charge. $50 for a weekend morning isn't that steep but at that price you have to at least water the course and have some level of up keep. Disappointing to see a good layout and foundation go to waste.

Booked the 1:04 pm tee time on GolfNow. Couldn’t beat the price at $9. 00. I breezed through the first nine holes behind another single. The cart path needs repairs starting on the par 3 third hole and ending on the par 5 6th hole. The grounds crew was patching them with gravel after #8. As I said before I was rolling along with no issues until I reached the par 5 at number ten. At that point I ran into a foursome . These guys came out early for their league play to get I an early nine holes, I don’t begrudge them that but, they refused to wave me thru. They spent the next nine holes looking for their wayward balls. In the woods etc. on the greens three of them would walk off when finished while one guy practiced putts. This place needs a Ranger in the worst way. I’ve golfed here on 15 occasions this season and have yet to see a ranger. The pace of play is particularly bad on the back nine with folks from the league acting as if they own the course. Woodfield , you can do better. I like supporting local businesses , but this is ridiculous.
