Walked

Good value for the money

Good value for what I paid, but the fairways are relatively close together and its confusing to figure out which hole belongs to which T.

Very friendly staff. Cart was included in a very reasonable rate, however I choose to walk to get some exercise.

Nice course with difficult greens

Played 9 holes the week before and came back on a nice day for 18. Good conditions after rain two days before. Some holes are difficult with elevation change and lack of flat lies. Many of the holes were in difficult locations where the ball will roll off the green. Greens in general were fast. Had fun playing, most of my drives went where I wanted them to go. Overall a nice place to play.

Killer greens

This course won’t wow you with aesthetics, or lush fairways. Although, for a public course the greens are second to none. And more often then not, the greens are fast. The layout is fun and the course culture is even better. It’s great for what it is, a nine hole course with a fun layout and tough greens.

Bang for buck

Fun little course. Make sure weather is bad or people won’t be there if you want to get a whole 18 in on a weekend.

Great value for the price, vs. other prices in the area. The holes are on top of eachother, as a result a missed green could result in danger to players on the next tee box. As a result it’s slower than it seems until groups tee off the next hole on 1, 3, 4, 7.

Still a great time, short holes are countered by small greens. Fun place, very nice staff.

A crowded hack-a-thon

Booked a tee time in the mid afternoon for my son and I. Got to the tee box where the 2 tee times in front of us were both teeing off to create a fivesome because the course was so backed up. Could not even have fun here and shoot for the green on anything because the holes were so backed up. Ended up leaving after 6 holes after it took us 2 hours to get to that point.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve and use your comments as guidance in doing so. Thank you for playing Plainfield West Nine. We hope to see you again soon.

Nice Little Course But Too Narrow

Pro Shop Staff were great, but course conditions were not great. Considering the grounds crew were so ever present they were in the way, the course was not in great condition. Also, this course is very narrow and the tee boxes are WAY TOO CLOSE to the previous green. People yelling "FORE" were common. FYI-some of the hills on the course are a bit steep and utilizing a motorized cart proved treacherous at times. Walking the course might be more prudent.

3.5 stars

What makes this course exciting is the mix of long and short par 4s, and the lightning quick greens. For a public course, the greens are usually second to none. Hole 4 and 8 are both easily reachable, but don’t overlook hole 4 risk reward. Tree lined on both sides, end up right off the tee and you’re in the penalty area. End up left odds are you’ll be looking at the back off a tree attempting to go over under, or for some of us, through the tree.

Overall it’s not a great course but it does have some great features and an excellent course culture. It is a solid 3.5 stars. Great place to play a quick nine or practice round.
