Value play.
Value play course within driving distance of Chicago!
Good conditions and approachable course. Pretty open with short hole lengths. If driver is going well, good shots to approach and make good scores.
It’s not a super pretty course or challenging for advanced players but for someone like me learning, it’s open and super inviting.
Hole 5 is the hardest , approaching with iron is wise!
Great Staff
Special thanks to the two staffers working the check-in and carts They were extremely patient and professional as they adeptly handled a shortage of golf carts before our tee time. Course pace was brisk and the condition of the course was fine but the aerating of the greens caused them to be a bit bumpy.
Solid Course for Beginners
Definitely slow rate of play but that’s great for beginners.
fun course
The course is very nice for nine holes. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Not enough value for the price
I played at Billy Caldwell on a Saturday morning and the course was quite busy. The staff was friendly and the location of the course is good. The pace of play was extremely slow. There was a foursome in front of our group that waited for the green to be cleared before they teed off. Unfortunately they weren’t able to drive the ball more than 100 yards which led to a 2.5 hour round. The course needs a ranger to move people along. The course is wide open and doesn’t have much trouble. It’s a good place to practice your long irons and woods but there are no sand traps. Also, minimal water. For the price, I’d rather play 9 somewhere else.

Best value for golf
Fantastic staff and well
Kept course
Really need to have restroom and snack shop on the course. At minimum the old snack shop could be replaced by a food truck
Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad to hear you enjoy our course and wonderful staff. We look forward to having you back in the future.
Very slow play
It would have been nice if the range had come by just to move the slower players along.
Thank you so much for your review! We are glad to hear you enjoy our course. We look forward to having you back in the future.
Challenging 9
Nice 9-hole test
5th hole with water and elevated green often back up play.
Greens were good, fairways too.
Tees a little long.
Unfortunately, course condition usually goes down in the summer due to the volume of rounds.
