Greens are sketchy
I truly enjoy playing the Elks and this was my first round here in 2015. The folks are always welcoming/extremely nice and this is a great old school course that has stood the test of time. Tee boxes were a tad shaggy but they want the grass to grow out a little prior to cutting them down a little I guess. Fairways were real nice but again a little shaggy...but in real good shape.
Unfortunately there are several areas of some of the putting greens which sustained winter damage and this course is all about the old school green complexes with lots of big breaking putts and undulations. The greens at the Elks the past two seasons 2013/2014 were absolutely outstanding. Here's hoping the damaged areas will grow in with better weather and become less bumpy......my playing partner and I had at least 10 putts which were extremely bumpy due to the surface inconsistency.....I know the super will work on this but must rate overall conditions at 3 stars at what normally is a well above 4 star plus course. Giving the Elks an overall 4 but the condition of the greens was a disappointment so it should be 3.75 or so. I'll definitely return in June/July and offer an update.
Greens are rolling great. Great par 3’s.
I love the Elks golf course in Kankakee. The greens are rolling as good as they ever have. I’ve played 3 days in a row. I’m playing again of the weekend. I love this place.
Great par 3’s
The greens roll beautifully. For a public course you can’t go wrong playing Elks. This is my favorite place to golf for a public course. If you’re looking for a good test you absolutely want to add Kankakee Elks to the list.
Nice
Layout is good
It’s still March so course conditions a little rough
Greens are small and very undulated
Same architect as Lawsonia and some other very nice courses
If you live in the area (Kankakee) a nice place to play
If not don’t know if I would make the drive
To be fair I will give it another try in summer when the greens and course in better shape
Worthy 2 hour drive from Chicago NW. WONT PLAY AGAIN. TOOFAR
Green is fast ang undulating hard.
No ball washing at tee box
Tremendous golf value
Designed by the same designer as the famous Lawsonia Links in Green Lake, WI, this course throws plenty of challenges at your round. Conditions were very good for late summer, with true rolling greens and rather longer thank average rough.
Pace of play was fantastic for a Friday afternoon. Clubhouse food selection is minimal, but staff was very friendly.
You can't beat the price here for the quality of course in the Chicagoland area.
Note: Greens were recently sanded and aerated
Great Course
Starting with the super friendly staff, challenging, elevated greens, this course is always a great value, highly recommend for any level golfer
