Naperbrook Golf Course
About
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.

No Cart Girl on a Sunday ???
This was our first time playing Naperbrook. Our foursome was by no means golf experts, but we are hobbyists for sure. Our team time was at 9:42 AM. They asked us to push back to 9:50 to accommodate a group of 16 players that had 4 of their guys teeing off right after us. So we bought a bucket of range balls to hit. Then in the middle of that, they told us we were up at our original time because the other 4 some was not there yet. So we wasted our money there. Then the foursome showed up and claimed to be scratch golfers (they were not) and asked to play through on the second hole. This was a little frustrating.
The main thing I was disappointed about was that they had no beverage cart on a clear Sunday day. We like to enjoy a Bloody Mary and a few beers throughout the day and it seems crazy that they wouldn't staff a cart girl on a busy Sunday. There would have been a work around except Naperbrook law states that they can't sell alcohol before 10 AM on a Sunday, which doesn't help if your tee time is at 9:42 AM. So, overall, the course is decent but we were looking to go relax, play golf and have a few beers with buddies on this Sunday and it didn't happen.
Always a good time
Course is always in good shape, greens rolled true, fairways well taken care of, tee boxes had plenty of grass. One of my favorite places to play
Nbrook

Pace of play
Pace of play was only 8 minutes apart--- felt to close.
Thank you for playing Naperbrook Golf Course! We certainly appreciate your feedback about pace of play.We hope to see you again soon.
Course was in great shape
Inspite of the rains,the course was in better shape than others I have played recently. The grass was cut short in the rough areas and the fairways and greens were the best when compared to other courses in the area.
Thank you for your feedback Bejan! We look forward to seeing you again!
Well maintained course fun to play
Course was great Tom and Vicky were friendly and took care us
Thanks for your review, Bob. Glad you had a great time. Hope you to see you out here again soon.
Pretty good course
No complaints, conditions were good. Although a few holes are challenging, on the whole the course is not especially interesting or difficult - but enjoyable enough nonetheless. Should be a place you could score at.
Thank Bruce we're glad you enjoyed the course. Hope to see you out here again soon!
Thanks Bruce we look forward to seeing you again soon. Hope you played well!
Nice course
Naperbrook is a nice facility, fairly wide open on many holes but enough challenge for weekend warrior
Fresh made sandwiches at turn excellent
Bar food menu pretty unhealthy otherwise
Full price for non residents quite pricey but you can usually find some discounted tee times on Golfnow
Thank you for your review Steve. We're glad you enjoyed the course and the sandwich!
Thank you for your feedback. We hope to see you again soon!
Good course. Friendly staff.
This is a nice course that was in very good condition. Only negative condition wise was a high number of unrepaired or poorly repaired ballmarks which took a little away from the greens. Pace of play was a little slow on the day I played. The staff was very friendly. Good challenge for an average golfer.
Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our course. We hope to see you again soon!

Thanks for the kind words. We're very happy you enjoyed our course and hope to see you again soon.
Solid Links Course
Close to home, had a great time on this track. A little short overall but it played well. I liked the back 9 more than the front nine, not sure why. I hope to play again soon. Only negative was I don't think they had cart service but maybe because of overcast weather?
Thanks for the great review Michael! We will work on that cart service for the next time you come out to see us.
Nice Place
We've played Naperbrook before and have most always liked it. Early in the season the greens were pretty brown but they seemed to have recovered nicely. Its a challenging course for the weekend warrior with a few nice long par-5's and I love the dog-leg par 4. It's somewhat of a links course with the rolling hills and high grassy areas throughout. I just wish they would make it mandatory for everyone to get a cart all year round.
Thanks for taking the time to send us your thoughts. We are working hard to improve every day!
pace
Pace of play on back 9 was very slow. Length of time was 3 hrs on the back.
We are sorry to hear that it was slow out there for you. Thank you for your feedback, your words are being heard!
Great Value for the money
Park District Course. Considering this area had rough winters two years in a row, the course is in very good condition. (The day I played, they had aerated the greens, so the ball was not rolling true.) Holes 3 and 13 are the toughest on the course. Be careful with the drive on 3 and the second shot on 13. Overall, good course.
Thank you for your review Joseph. Other golfers will be very appreciative of these tips!
Thursday late morning round
I went out on a Thursday late morning. I was one of about 10-15 golfers on the course this day. The weather was sunny but breezy and cooler than normal. The course is pretty open, so if you spray a few off the tee throughout your round you will be ok. Not a very long course from the Blue tees. You could actually leave the driver in the bag on most holes if you are not getting along with it. Overall great course and condition of course was outstanding.
Thanks for taking the time to send in your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed our course!
The course is a challenge in the wind.
The greens are in good shape. Still a little dormant, but the holes from last fall are covered.
Thanks for your review Troy. We have been working hard to improve the course since then.
scenic
Beatiful hole designs with great backdrops to undulating greens allowing for a variety of pin locations keeping interest for the regulars and challenging for first time players. Exemplary sand trap maintenance on the few but well placed bunkers. With spacious driving landing areas and not overly protected greens,allows the beginning golfers to keep pace making it one of the best public course designs I've ever played .
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the course!
