Hilton Chicago Oak Brook Hills Resort

So many courses around the burbs, but this one still outshines most of them.

Boring course overall. Decent conditions, greens were solid, fairways and tee boxes were fine. . I am writing this review for only one reason... the bunkers were not ok. Basically was like hitting off of concrete. Need more sand! Staff was great though.

Fairways and greens were in nice shape. Extremely disappointing pace of play. Please space your groups out accordingly or send a ranger out to speed people up. .

Course is not an easy resort course. Requires accuracy off the tee and approach shots or you are in deep trouble! I’m a 12 handicap and the course will add 4 strokes to your score. Very tight set up so errand shots come from multiple directions- kinda scary at times. It is a great test for good golfers and probably miserable for high handicappers. I would suggest one of the first tee times before the hotel guests come out to play.

One of the the best looking public golf courses I’ve played. Great value for the $$, quick 25 min ride from downtown Chicago - would definitely play here again.

Good course, good groundskeeping, greens and fairways were in very good shape. At $79 for 18, it is on the high side, but, did have many tee times available and the pace was very good.

Very tight golf course with lots of hazards and OB just off the fairways and greens. Greens are very small and in decent shape for a public course. Not a bad course to play if you can get a good deal, but would not go out of your way to come back. Great staff though and very well run.

Rushed by the starter to the tee 15 minutes before tee time only to wait on literally every single shot. Teed off at 4:10 and barely finished 16 holes in over 4.5 hours before there wasn’t enough daylight to finish. Ranger needs to be on the course telling groups to skip holes if they fall behind. Completely unacceptable to not finish when teeing off at 4:10p. Cannot recommend anyone play until that changes.

The course overall was in good shape. The tee boxes were a little chewed up, but the weather has been very hot. The sand traps were fairly hard - I think they need to get more sand in them.

I have played here through the years. The course is challenging from the Black tees since you have to be able to shape the driver or hit 3 wood but leave a longer 2nd. Greens are receptive, fairways were running but the bunkers are brutal. We have had borderline drought conditions and days with temps in the 90s and this place has washed out bunkers with no sand and then there are puddles in the bunkers. 79 bucks for a weekday rate means I won't be back unless I catch a deal. I love the staff, but let's go Superintendent and grounds keepers.
