Naperbrook Golf Course sprawls across rolling hills covered with native prairie grasses. Located in northwest Plainfield, the course was carefully carved from pristine Illinois farmland. The traditional links-style layout nicely balances player-friendly elements with more challenging ones. Like many links courses, wind will most likely be a factor. The fairways are open and fairly generous and the large greens have interesting undulations and tiers. Though the golf course is routed through 10 different ponds, water isn't the most prominent hazard. Instead you'll find the tall grasses to be the more challenging test. There are also some tricky hidden bunkers strategically placed throughout. The par 5s are long but reachable and the par 3s are particularly challenging, offer greater rewards to players who are willing to take risks. In addition to the golf course, Naperbrook is also home to a 10-acre driving range.

Nice course

Naperbrook is a nice course, which can provide some challenge. The pace of play gets a little slow at times, but nothing dramatic. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking to get out for a nice day.

Happy to be playing on Nov 1st!

Have played N'brook many times over the years. Not as often lately. I like some of the changes to the course. Seems they are trying to speed up play. It is working. Course was in good shape (Nov 1st) recently aerated greens a little bumpy (to be expected) I also like what they have done with the patio area outside the clubhouse. Love those tables & chairs (Where did you buy them?) Was nice to play a Sunday round in about 4 hr 15 min was terrific. Never rushed and rarely waited. Good day at Naperbrook

Friendly and fun but...

I have played this course many times and with the exception of one hole it is an outstanding lay out. Challenging for a low index player (I am a 0) but friendly enough for the higher index player. Hole #3 has water right and left and is a nightmare for the average player with no safe place to play, but it is the only hole like it. The rest allow errant shots that can usually be found and still playable.

Lately they have been putting pins in inaccessible locations making it very difficult for a low index player and impossible for the average golfer. Hopefully they address this after several complaints. Highly recommended course that is easy to walk and staffed with good people.

My new favorite

This was the first time I play this course. I played the blue tees and walked the course. I tee'd off at 7:10 and found that we didn't have to Tee off into the sun until hole #8 I think. It was great. The course wasn't too hard if you are trying to perfect your stroke or round. Some water and some fairway bunkers but not too bad. Other than a couple Dogleg rights it was fairly straight course. I will play here again!

Staff was excellent. Mr. Dunn was so kind and helpful. The course was great, being my first time out there. A bit challenging on the greens because of different unsuspecting undulations. Fairways were great. Played on a Sunday afternoon so a bit slow. Overall I would play this course again.

Always slow and course doesn't seem to care

I've played this golf course 8 times this year and it is always slow! It took us 2:52 to play 9-holes. The only reason we didn't walk off the course was it was a nice day and we hadn't played golf in a few weeks.

We saw the ranger one time and he was filling up water coolers on the course. MAYBE, he should focus on the pace of play instead of water!

When we went in after we played to say something to the golf shop staff their exact comment was "its a Sunday and its always slow on the weekends!"

If you know that fix the problem. My normal group of guys have decided not to play here on the weekends anymore. We don't 5+ hours to play golf.

JAJ and NKJ at Naperbrook

Paid $20 each with a cart on Golfnow. Normal price for a senior is $42. $30 would be about right. They do have GPS on the their carts so thats a plus. When you're in the rough the grass is that thick bladed stuff that grabs your club. Greens are heavily marked, too bad golfers don't fix their marks, but complain about them.

Good quality facility, great value

Any closer to the city or if this course were privately owned, I could easily see this place charging $15-20 more. Solid 18-hole links-style layout in good condition, even during these hot August days. There is some water and tall grasses to watch out for, but very playable and enjoyable for any skill level. Staff, in particular the starter, was courteous, friendly and helpful.

Nice Track

Haven't played the course in years and was pleasantly surprised as to the layout and condition. Greens were in great shape and the track was nice and open with some difficulty and water. GPS on the carts were awesome and the staff was excellent. Although the course had several holes with water, I was most disappointed in learning there was no beverage cart available. Definitely a course you must play and next time back I'm teeing off from the back tees.

Good value course

We chose a great time to play a Monday mid morning. Course was in good shape. Only problem was there wasn't much in the way of helping people who have never played there. A couple holes we had to guess about which way was the best approach shot. We chose poorly both times. Other than that it was a great day on a great course.
