Getting better
Much improved condition over earlier in the year. About half the greens are in rough condition. No real amenities at the course. Outstanding layout. Back nine are some of the most scenic holes in Chicago.
Great Course Conditions, but no first cut of rough
I play Crane's 2-3 times a year. Used to play more. I like everything about the course - except the height of the grass in the rough. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are typical cut and in very good condition. But the roughs are about 1.5 to 2x longer than typical golf courses. I pride myself in following my ball to rest and not having to spend time looking when I'm in the rough. It is definitely a chore to locate a ball hit in the rough at Crane's - even if it's 5-10 ft off the fairway because you only have a few feet of visibility. Our twosome stumbled on to/picked up 15+ balls while looking for our balls. That tells me a) others losing a lot of balls and/or b) the grass isn't getting cut often. This is not a season/fall issue. I have experienced high rough grass in the Spring and Summer here. Penalizing a golfer with extra high grass in the rough adds strokes. I recommend this course with caveats:
a) play if you can't get a tee time on your preferred course b) put a few more extra balls in your bag c) know that you're gonna have some tough lies out of the rough d) be satisfied with a score that is 20-30% above your handicap.
It’s fine.
Fine course. This isn’t the best course in the world - sometimes you’re not sure if you’re on the fairway or the rough. I had a solid time. Good for a beginner.
Wasting my time
I will say don’t go there!! There green is like fairway
Fun course from the Blues
From the blue tees a good course for handicappers in the teens. Greens not large so not easy to hit. The course does have wear and tear on the greens and the tees tough. Some more attention to these two and could be a nice course I would return to.
Worst course I have ever played
Course was in very poor condition. Grass was way too high in fairways, greens were all torn up, all said would never play this course again
Maintenance
Greens need some mowing and improvement with several brown patches. Rough was US open thickness. While it rained recently, a good mowing would help.
