Leaves
Nice layout but if you are going to stay open and take money for play you should still keep course up. It looked like the last time the holes were cut was a week ago and at least blow the leaves off the fairway. One hole was 100 yards of leaves all the way across the hole and we both lost ball right in the middle if the fairway. Besides that was nice to be playing in November
excelellnt November golf
great day to play golf in Wisconsin course in great shape for November
Thanks for joining us on the course! We do our best to the keep the course playable for as long as we can -- it's good to know that it shows!
Decent Course
The course isn't the most challenging. Many short Par 4 & 5 holes. The pace of play was slow. The course was in good shape and the greens ran smooth. A good course for high handicaps and beginner golfers. I would likely play again.
Thanks for your review! We're sorry that the pace of play wasn't up to spec, but we hope that will change your next time on the course. We're glad you came out and we can't wait to see you again!

We really appreciate your review! We pride ourselves on great service, a great course, and our players' enjoyment. Let us know if we can improve your golfing experience and we hope to see you on the course again soon!
Nice layout
I was very bummed last yer, 2015, when coach mans wasn't on Golf Now. Very happy it returned and enjoyed playing here again. It was in great shape!
Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the condition of the course -- always great to hear that. Don't forget: you can book tee times straight through our site, and you can get information about events and specials there, too. Hope to see you again soon!
course needed some tending
Course needed to be mowed. Fairways were long and roughs were very long.Slowed pace of play while people looked for their balls. Also lots of twosomes and a group of 5 golfers out messed up pace of play along with antsy golfers who kept hitting into us.
flatlanders heaven
Coachman's can be an enjoyable couse if you avoid their primary clientelle, which is the many Illinois residents who stay at the inexpensive motel on the property. Weekends can get pretty busy, and you can easily be in for an unacceptably slow round during the popular times (Friday afternoon, all day Saturday, Sunday mornings). If you avoid those times and get a discount, the course can be fun. The red nine (old front) is the shortest of the 3 and they really need to recalibrate their tees so that the average golfer can play 18 from whites at 5900-6100 yards. Besides feeling like the white tees are too short, the tees themselves are ridiculously small and crowned in the middle, I have never played another course in my life where you can't get a flat lie on your tee shot. The layout has some interesting holes particulary on the white (back) nine. The greens have always been the best aspect of this course, they are pretty consistent and roll true. The staff is friendly, they usually have a starter although they don't cope well with being busy. My previous visit, we had a noon tee time on a Friday and found that there were no carts available! And once we managed to get two it was a free for all getting off on any of the nines. All I get from that is that the management is too cheap to make sure they have enough carts to handle the demand.
If you can play an off day and get a discount, this course can be a fun place for a round, particularly if you don't have to drive far to get there.
Coachmans
Excellent value for this great course. Never have a problem with getting a tee time and n this 27 hole course.
Never Again!!!
We got to the fourth hole and we were shocked to see 5 (five) carts in the fifth fairway. There were eight people on one hole. Directly in front of us was a dad with two younger kids. No big deal, but the eightsome? We jumped to six only to see the eightsome had jumped to seven. They were very loud and obnoxious. Not to mention SLOW. Never again!
Worth playing
My son and I played Coachmen''"s on a Wednesday late morning. We played the blue tees which measured at about 6200 yards. The condition of the greens was very good and they rolled true. The rest of the course was in Average /good shape with a variety of challenges. The pace of play was excellent. The pins were in some nasty positions. All in all it was a good experience especially with a cheap price from Golfnow.
Something's wrong
Coachman's Golf Resort is a beautiful place to shoot golf, however it is a terrible place to play golf on weekends....how can that be?
Well, for the 4th straight time now, we have encountered groups of 6 and even 8 at times, out there hootin & hollerin, dragging their spikes across the greens, spitting out red gooey candy or gum, or something...the biggest problem is that when a two some (my wife & I ) get stuck behind one of these groups, we pretty much lose heart & leave. I complained to the starter, and he said "that's the way it is out here on weekends"...Golf is supposed to be a gentleman's game, but weekends at Coachman's, it's more like a drunken free for all...
27 holes to enjoy
The course was in very good condition except for the large amount of rain that left water around the course but still very playable.
Nice course, good value, mowing problems
Overall, I would give this course a 4-star rating, but the groundskeeping crew needs some instruction. We were "paired up" for something like 4-5 consecutive holes with a large and very noisy mower. The operator was oblivious to our presence and refused to stop or even slow down when we were playing, either along the fairways or around the green. In one case, he popped out from behind some bushes and drove directly across the front of the green while my ball was in the air.
I also wonder why groundskeepers do not mow the holes in the opposite order from that in which the players are playing the holes. That way, a single playing group would not be paired up with them hole after hole after hole.
good golf, modest price
Nice golf course, friendly staff, some challenging holes, but nothing too tricky.
Fun Day Out on the Links
This course is what I would call an average course. It's rather flat, so easier for people who have a hard time with up and downhill lies. After a late Spring, it was in pretty good condition. They had only three choices for tees, and being average golfers, we chose the middle tees. That made the course much shorter than if we had played the furthest (blue)tees. Most of the intermediate (white) tees were much closer to the red tees than the blue. At any rate, our scores were lower than we're used to. The hazards were generally easy to avoid, and the traps were not as deep as many courses I've played. All in all, we went out on a pleasant Sunday at 11:30, and had a nice 18 holes of golf in about 3 and 1/2 hours. With the price we got from Golf Now, it was quite a value. We'll be going back.
Not too long, but challenging.
Picked a rainy day to play, but a very friendly staff member supplied us with a cart enclosure which was very nice. Course was in very nice condition, free of leaves, well maintained. Due to the inclimate weather, not many golfers on the course and we played a very quick round. Played the whites which are under 6300 yards, but we still found it to be challenging.
one of our faves!
This course has always been one of our favorites! The staff is always great to us n the course is always beautiful. Pin placement this time made it even more challenging than normal. Overall, great 18!
Play it when it's not busy!
The course is average, but the price was right. Our round took over 5 hours. The dear old man working as the starter had no clue where to send us out (red, white or blue course). It's his job, right? The twosome we caught up with (after 2 guys in our group left) had started an hour LATER on another 9.
Poorly managed and slow pace of play.
Tee times were poorly managed. 6-somes were out on the course. 27 hole layout not well managed. Would not golf there again.
tee boxes need attention, otherwise course is in good shape

Thanks for taking the time to review and rate us, we appreciate it! We're sorry about the issue with fallen leaves but we're glad you enjoyed your round with us. We're closing for the season on the 17th, but we'd love to see you out on the course again beforehand!
