Opened in 1929, Maplecrest Country Club is one of the oldest golf courses in Kenosha County. It is conveniently located a surprisingly short drive away from Chicago's northern suburbs. This challenging public course has long been a favorite amongst locals both for the playable design and the affordability. The golf course is relatively flat although there are a few subtle contours that can cause some tricky uneven lies. Watered fairways and fast greens protected by bunkers provide the bulk of the course's challenges though it is still quite forgiving if your shots are slightly errant. It is a course that beginners can approach with confidence but it still has plenty to offer for more advanced golfers. One good example is the difficult green on the sixth hole, which stands out as one of the toughest in the area.

I like it
Some good holes here at Maplecrest for sure. Some small greens and getable holes but then you drive up to some and have to think about where to hit it off the tee. I forget what hole on the back, maybe 15 or 16 but a huge tree protects the green and 300 yard hole has you wanting to hit driver but if you hit it into the tree it likely will kick into the forest.
OK to bring the wild driver here on most holes as it will be findable. I was happy with green conditions and speeds. Some tee boxes have seen some use but it's mid August and we've had lots of rounds played so expecting that.
Great value for 18 holes with cart on a Saturday AM. Happy to play it again.
You can't beat it for the price
For the price, it was a nice course. Went on Saturday and played 9 holes for only 15.00. Wide fairways and decent greens. Tee's needed water, ground was could be difficult to inset a tee.
Sand traps needed work. Below 1/2 inch if was hard, at least to one I landed in.
Overall a good course for beginners and intermediate players. I would play again, although from northeastern Illinois it is a bit of a drive,
Best value in southeast Wisconsin
I play this course a lot and tbh it’s the perfect course to work on your game. Most hazards are probably 200-240 yards to carry so you need to either lay up or hit it clean to go low. Some longer par 3’s and some short ones. A +600 yard par 5 and both front and back 9 start with par 5’s. Pace is decent most of the time. I don’t know of a better course you can play for the same amount of money.
I played a round with the golf pro, Joe, and learned a lot. He asked what I wanted to work on (and why), then told me what I needed to do to accomplish my goal. He seems like the type who is good at adapting his teaching style to what will make you comfortable, but if you can check your ego and are willing to drop bad habits you’ll get a lot out of a lesson.
Great day to play
Freshly mowed! Rough is generally ROUGH! I’ve lost balls before just off the fairway. Holiday weekend and Canadian smoke adding to moderate rating for air pollutants, led to a far better pace of play!
Right time right day right olace.
Maple crest GC
Bunkers needs sand , it’s was kind of dry ,but over all great course . And for the money very hood
Overbooked and pace of play
The condition is very bad and pace of play was horrible. 3 hours for 9 holes. If I go back it will be to use the range only. Buyer beware.
Nice course!
Found this gem in southeastern Wisconsin thru Golf Now. It was a deal and love the long fairways. Course was in very good condition especially since we are in a drought. My group had a good round and definitely will go back.
Get what you pay for
There’s a reason why you can play 18 holes with cart for less than $25. The course conditions were horrible. They definitely don’t have a sprinkler system because all the grass was brown (rough, fairways, and greens) and this is early June. There was no difference between the rough and the fairway(see pic. Left side of red line is rough and right side is fairway). Lots of lost balls even just off the fairway due to poor sight lines, color/grass contrast, and how close a lot of the holes were to each other. I usually only lose 1 ball a round and this time I lost 11. Which really brings total cost of playing here in the normal price range for MKE area.
Not much for food options in the clubhouse. Brat on roller like at a gas station or frozen pizza was it. Decent prices on beer.
Only nice thing was not many ppl on course, so you could play at any pace you wanted. Staff was friendly and wasn’t sticklers for tee times.
Best value around
I play here a lot and it doesn’t get old. The course is well-kept, the staff are good guys, and the fairways can be forgiving but it’s still challenging. I like it because there are many holes where you can let it rip with your driver and still be okay on a mis-hit, but some require precision shots.
