Fair course

Average course, very flat and mostly straight course. Lots of water but not it places you’re worried about it most of the time. Decently well kept, some of the tee boxes are a good bit beat up. I played after several dry days in a row so it was nice but I’ve heard it gets and stays quite wet and cart path only in such case. They are on the verge of charging too much but given the other courses in the area it is the “nice” course.

Good course greens were great.

Some holes are short. Great pace of play for our time frame. It was wide open on the back 9. Nobody in front of us. Lots of water. The 2 courses Intertwined is a little confusing at first but is was easy to navigate after the first hole.

Chicago Chicago that toddling town

Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around,I love it

Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues .

They do things they don't do on Broadway

They have the time, the time of their life

I saw a man, he danced with his wife

In Chicago, Chicago.

Good fun

Nice course with fun water, nature, and in good shape for the sandy salty terrain.

Very hot in the Summer and a little too high priced. Great food at the 19th hole.
