Very fun but challenging course. Not long but really have to make good shots and have strong course management. Beautiful views and very well maintained. Front nine went fast then got stuck behind a five-some on the back that didn't bother to let us play through. But being a nonmember at a private course can't complain too much!

We played on Sunday and once we got through two groups of foursomes it was wide open. Nice layout, You pretty much only see the hole you are playing which is fun, but also challenging because there is no hope for a hacker like me to hit off another fairway! Bring some balls because when they are gone there's no hope unless you have a machete and like snakes. Lots of deer that like to play in the sand traps, pretty funny. Get to use all the clubs in the bag, lots of fun shots, and elevation changes. Will be back again for sure.

Fun playing a course that's been around since 1899. The short distance was good to walk instead of take a golf cart. And with the high probability of new golfers being in front of you there is no reason to rush around in a cart. Club selection is fun as well since there is no need to play a driver off the tee on pretty much every hole. I wish they provided every golfer with a divot tool, because walking up to the greens there were divots everywhere. I fixed several on every hole, again to be expected with lots of beginners. Overall Fun course downtown in the cool Hyde Park neighborhood.

Can't beat this course for the price! Played on a Monday and had the place almost to ourselves. No sand traps or water hazards but narrow fairways to keep it challenging. Great views of the lake, and deer everywhere made it a nice, close get away from the busy suburbs. Definitely coming back!
