Rolling Meadows Country Club

Great course, was fun to play. Not terribly difficult and great for beginners outside of a few challenging holes on the course. Staff and booking was simple and easy. Driving range was convenient and had a pavilion to cook out at after the round.

Slow pace of play. Backup twice. Played front nine again

I really enjoyed this course. I shot a personal best. it was fairly easy. However, as a single I got backed up by a bunch of old people on the back 9. The people at front desk were SUPER nice. However, they promised it would be pretty open when I called ahead. She also said, i would be fine by the time I got to the back 9. The back is a little tougher but still not that bad.

Rolling Meadows plays harder than the yardage and rustic setting suggest. Excellent value and you can bring your own beverages.

The course is under new ownership and they seem to be investing time and money which is nice. You can bring your own beverages and coolers.

Suggested improvements would be add drinking water to the course and expand menu beyond a hotdog.

Had a noon tee time got paired up with three other nice players. A lot of traffic made 18 holes take 4.5 hours. It was alright because it was a great day outside. I will go again.

Let me get the positives out of the way first. The course was actually pretty nice! Conditions were good for the most part. Not too challenging, but not boring by any means. It is a course that normally I wouldn't mind playing a few times a year.
But I have neeeever played a course with with such a pace-of-play problem before. I understand that it was a nice sunny Sunday, which of course is gonna bring out more people. But my girlfriend and I were often stacked 2-4 groups deep at the tee boxes. A ranger did come by and ask if we were getting stacked up, and drove forward, but nothing seemed to be solved by it. We were at 2 hours on the course by the time we finished the sixth hole. As much as I enjoy an afternoon on the course, it is almost impossible to play well and enjoy yourself when you're waiting 15-25 minutes to tee off on every hole. I'm not sure what the problem was (I'm guessing twosomes that should've been paired up weren't), but there are too many good/great courses in the area to let that happen.
As much as I thought the course was nice, and the value was good, I can't ever imagine coming back knowing that I could be in for another round like that. I've got a course about a mile from my house, very comparable in conditions and price. Even though I enjoy playing different courses, there is nothing that would lead me to choose to drive 30 minutes to Rolling Meadows. I hope hear that those problems are eventually addressed, because I would like to return someday.

6400 yards from the tips. Pretty good shape. I would come again.

Fun, challenging, laid-back, country course with a great layout.
