Decent Course - Poor Value

Salem Hills is a decent course with an okay layout. Conditions are good and greens are nice and fast. $80 is wild for this course but they get away with it. Pace of play seems to be an issue here with many bottle necks. This is a $60 course not $80. If you need to get out and this is what’s available, go for it.

I Recommend Salem Hills GC

Yesterday was the 2nd time playing Salem Hills GC. I highly recommend it depending on how much you have to pay. I found a Hot Deal for $45.00 and used my $10 off coupon. Since I made the tee time for 2 players and was only able to use 1 coupon, with tax it was $41.00 per player. The course was in good condition, it is very playable and it is what you see is what you get except for Hole 11, dog leg right Par 4. Overall the sloping green is the course's protection and teeth. Putt with confidence 17 inches past the hole because if you try to die the ball into the hole, it will snap left or right. Enjoy it.

Great value

Enjoyed this course quite a bit, it was in good shape for being early in the season. We had a lot of recent rain and the water was managed well in the course. This is on my list to play again this year.

Nice course

Very well maintained and beautiful course. Not particularly challenging. Long but pretty straight. Not much water to worry about. Really loved it. Will be in the mix going forward.

Very well maintained golf course

This was my first time playing this course and it is very well maintained course. Greens and fairways are in great shape. Course is very forgiving with wide open fairways and huge greens. Never had any bad lies in fairways or in rough. Back nine are more interesting and little more challenging than front. Will definitely play here again. Thanks

Nice course, open layout

Nice place but a tad more than others in the area. Still standing water issues - something they've had to deal w for a long time.

Tee boxes are quite beat up and surprised to see areated greens in a holiday weekend w no sand fill. Not ideal.

First time back after 33 years

Haven't played the course since August of 1992. Looks much better with trees having grown along with what looks to be a lot more landscaping performed than I remember from before. Greens are huge - but tough. Never got used to them and ended up with 40 putts on a score of 85. No gimmes on these greens. Need to come back and take another crack at it. Played great tee to green until the last three holes when it got slow for the first time all day. Sad thing is it was a twosome that took forever to take a shot - and it was worse when they finally made it to the greens. Oblivious to the fact they were more than a hole behind the twosome in front of them - who played through them at the turn.

Gem! Best course conditions in the area!

Great course, was beautiful! Most tee box views were really nice. So quiet, very spacious, never had any balls land near us or had concerns of getting hit. I will be playing here often. We teed off at around 9:30 am and avoided a lot of the heat. Had no back ups in pace of play. Best course I have been to in the area (traveled in from Oak Park) and worth the drive. The greens, best greens in metro! And all that for $70.... so worth it. Book it!

Great Value Fun Course

It was my first time playing Salem Hills. It’s pretty far from my house at almost 40 mins. That said the layout is good and fair. I joined a husband and wife couple and another single to round out our foursome. Other reviews said super slow round but it rained during our front nine so maybe it scared people away. Our foursome was able to play in 3 hrs and 45 mins. There was a twosome 2 holes behind us and they never caught us. It was great despite the rain. The couple was a delight to play with as well as the single player who was a relatively beginner golfer. The best part was the Hot Deal! 😊. Based on my experience I would recommend.

fun track

other then an issue with their online booking...I booked for 3:28 and they didn't have me till 3:52 round was good. Thankfully I didn't have any plans after that would have made that mistake more costly. Typical bottleneck holes at #3 and #11.
