Maybe just bad luck

Tee’d off at 7 am 5 hr round. I think we just got stuck behind some beginners because there 2 groups on each tee box at all times, it didn’t help when the starter inserted a 3aome between my group and the group ahead of us after we were already waiting on every hole.

Otherwise, beautiful course, some traps in play but overall a good scoring course.

Excellent customer service

I selected “Saturday tee times” on the GolfNow website only to find out the actual tee time was reserved for the following Saturday...not user friendly on the Golfnow website...anyways the club was booked too the tee and the staff was above and beyond to make room for us to golf and fit us in somehow and we really appreciated the extra effort to accommodate us!

Really trying to please

Pretty course, with a tight layout between fairways that looked chaotic with many golfers, but somehow it all worked out. A bridge is under repair and management thanked you for your patience with a free drink. Come with a good attitude and you’ll like this course.

Friendly staff, well maintained course

Great clubhouse staff. Always friendly and helpful. Course is old style with small greens and tight fairways. Always in good condition. Bridge over Fox River is not safe for carts, but staff solved the problem, plus a free beverage. If you live near Burlington, play this course. Cheers

Areas of the course are in rough shape and the lay out of the holes were close together. The bridge was out, but not a problem. The staff was incredibly nice regarding it and had a very good work around which made it a non issue.

Bridge not able to be used! Way overbooked! Greens mostly burned

The fact that the Bridge is non usable and your have to carry your heavy bags across it twice is bad enough the boards that are loose and hazardous is another thing! Free drink tickets did not cover the inconvenience of moving bags and carts twice! Course was way overbooked! Over 5 hours to play 18!

Greens burned to a crisp! No Ranger to get pace of play going!

Staff that was there was nice but not going back!

Expensive on top of that!

Great value for your money

We teed off mid-day on a very hot weekday and the pace of play was excellent. The fairways and greens were in great shape! The course staff were very friendly and professional, the clubhouse food was delicious! We will definitely go back!
