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.

Classic Midwest Golf Course

Naperbrook is a fine course with plenty of length, elevation change and tee options. There's a nice mix of long holes that will challenge even the best player and short holes that still require precision and good strategy off the tee. The greens were some of the best I played all year. Played from the tips and the course was all I wanted and more while allowing me to use every club in the bag. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Would recommend to any golfer.

Quick Review

The course is somewhat challenging for the average player depending on what tees you play. The course offers several tee choices. I played the Blue/White combination which plays at about 6100 yards. At 68 I am losing distance off the tee so I was hitting some long clubs into the par 4. But the course was in good shape and is fair. It is a links style course and as usual it is in your favor to keep the ball in the fairway. There is also some water that comes into play on some of the holes bit overall not too bad.

It is a very fun course in great condition. Wide open which allows for not so accurate players to have a good round. Only downside is that the staff seems a little unfriendly towards players booking tee times through golfnow.

Always a good time!

I play Naperbrook several times per year and always seem to have a great time. The staff is friendly and the course is generally is great condition.
The greens hold well-struck shots and the layout offers enough variety to keep things interesting.
Lastly, the pace in never slow (maybe I'm just lucky on that).

Naperbrook bargain

I'm a resident of Naperville and $38 with a cart is about the best deal I have ever seen for this course in prime time (Friday - holiday weekend) . This course is nice, and laid out so if you're not that great(I'm a 17) . You can score very well. For some reason we played in just over 4 hours which is unheard of for any of the Naper courses.

Course in nice shape

I've played this course three times now, once last year and twice this year. I was not overly impressed when I played last year and so I normally will play Springbrook when I want to play a course in this geographic area. I find that Springbrook is more challenging. That said, Springbrook has some rough areas where the course is a bit deteriorated and will need some time to dry out. Naperbrook in contrast is in terrific shape which has been a pleasant surprise. It is a fun course that does provide some challenge but is a bit easier in layout. I will give it more play than I have in the past because of the great shape it is in.

Big Fairways, Little Trees

First time playing the course and thought it was a pleasure to play. The day I played they were preparing for a big outing the next day and the course conditions were great. If the wind is down this course plays very easy. Sand was never really an issue and water only comes into play on 4 holes. If you play in early spring before the fescue is growing it makes the course a bit easier, but I am sure that as the season plays on the course will play gradually harder until the fescue is fully grown.

Overall go out and enjoy this course, the fairways are big, the rough is cut low and the greens are readable. If you can make a few good shots this course is peppered with scoring opportunities. A great course to go out and feel good about your game.
