Mt Prospect Golf Club
Played On 11/07/2016Great round for Nov. 7
I've played three rounds of golf in November this year. I was so impressed with how clear the course was compared to the other courses I played. The leaves were picked up. We didn't spend any time looking for our shots. I play here often and the layout is great. The greens, as always, are a insane and the pin placements can be cruel at times. Overall, it's a fun round of golf. Staff seems annoyed by your presence, but whatever.
Stonewall Orchard Golf Club
Played On 08/31/2016Nice track
Fun course. Really well maintained. I thought the greens were awesome. Rolled extremely true, though there were some ball marks not repaired on just about every green. (Obviously not the course's fault).
Pace of play was amazing. We literally didn't wait on any hole.
There are a lot of blind shots on this course. Just a lot of "where am I supposed to hit this?" conversations. No. 4 is very funky.
Staff was awesome. Very friendly place. We'll be back.
Prairie Landing
Played On 04/18/2016One of Chicagoland's best
Prairie Landing is one of the 2-3 best courses I play in Chicagoland. Great value. Great layout. I love the change from links layout to woodlands for a few holes on the back nine. It's a great mix.
18 is truly one of the best holes I've ever played. You can get to the green in two on this par 5, but it takes a great drive and a hold your breath second. Or, you can take the longer road and still par it. Lots of good holes like this.
Staff is great. Food is good. Practice holes and driving range are really the icing on the cake. Great spot.
Bowes Creek Country Club
Played On 08/23/2015Great day at Bowes Creek
LOVED this course. It's really a gem. Only complaint would be the number of un-repaired ball marks there were on the greens. I was stunned really, because this is the type of course that attracts experienced golfers so you would think people would tend to the greens. Honestly, I take pride in repairing marks on greens ... It means I HIT THE GREEN!
Anyway, this is a beautiful course. Fast greens. Really cool looking bunkers. Many very fun holes. There are plenty of birdie opportunities and with the wind, it can also play pretty tough.
Staff was great. Obviously a lot of pride among the folks that work there and it's clear they care for the course. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Our staff is full of pride and we are thrilled that you were able to pick up on that. Hopefully you get the chance to return sooner than later!
Odyssey Golf Course
Played On 08/02/2015Could be better
I want to be as positive as I can about this course. It just could be so much better. Almost seems like it's fallen on tough times. Just rough around the edges. Tee boxes were beat up, fairways were burned, but the greens were pretty good. Some challenging holes out there, especially when the wind is howling like it was when we played.
There are drinking fountains on several tee boxes, but they don't work. No coolers on the course at all, so pack some water.
The staff was generally kind, but the bartender was odd to say the least. Barely spoke a word and it seemed like a HUGE deal to ask for water or beers. I even tipped on the waters thinking it would loosen him up, but he didn't budge. Not friendly. At all.
All in all, it was a nice layout. Challenging Par 3s. Loved the island green. Plenty of water to contend with. Could be a special place if money was pumped back into it. Hope it survives.
We are so happy to hear that you have had an overall great experience with Prairie Landing. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you again soon!
