Nippersink Golf, Banquets & Hotel

With generous fairways and a good price, this course is prefect for a bogey golfer. A nice variety of holes. Fair but challenging. The staff is friendly too.

they have the best fairways i have played all year. The greens were in good shape and not hard. 2 of us finished our round in 3 hours.

Course in excellent shape, a little challenging early AM with east/west hole layout but a good challenge. Staff quite friendly and so were the locals.

Course is nice but was severely overbooked. They need a starter and a ranger! Very unorganized!

The course is not challenging, so if you an average golfer you can feel great about yourself, and if you are beginning then it is a good course to get your bearings. The course was in excellent condition, green and soft.

Was not really a manicured course the last time I played it. However, new owners did a fantastic job on this course, even the sand traps were a pleasure to play. Kudos to the owners, will definitely play more often now. But roughs should cut more often, not fair for us non-professionals, tks!

Great course, very friendly staff! And did I mention spotted cow!

All around a good course to spend a day playing at.

The course was in good shape. The staff was very friendly. Waited about 45 min to get carts 'cuz they did not have enough carts. Long line to tee off hole #1. No starter present to keep things going. I'm not a fan of being pushed from behind or pushing those ahead of us, but we waited on every single hole for at least the group ahead of us and most of the time two groups ahead of us. Nothing done to speed up play. We were there 6 hours and played 15 holes. Gave up because we did not pack a lunch and we were starved. Will not play again at this course.

Since the courses were all closed in Chicago, my younger son & I drove up to play the course. I've played several Foulis designed courses in the Chicago area, and was interested to see how Nippersink compared to some of them, ( Itasca CC. Bonnie Brook).. The front nine was good, but the back really showcased this 1922 Foulis gem. For April the course was in exceptional shape. We played in 4hrs walking (Played thru a 4some on #10).

On #18 we caught another 4some. While waiting for them to clear, I noticed a totem pole behind the tee box & went over to take a look. As I was standing there one of the grounds crew pulled up on his mower, shut it off & gave me a fascinating history of the course and the general area. THAT was impressive.

Good routing. Great green/bunker complexes, interesting greens, memorable holes, Great natural setting & overall land plan, exceptional, friendly staff.

Very Impressed.
