Great condition .. Took too long

We played at 115 on a Friday.. We are all decent golfers, but the pace was slow. Ranger did not move things along fast enough. This course is short enough to play in 4 hours.. The 4 somes ahead of us were not bad.. Just too slow.. Pick it up rangers course was in fantastic condition

Great course with challenges!!

I love this links course and the design.
It is not super long but just adequate for a wide range of golfers.
Water hazards and bunkers through out the course make it more challenging and keep your interest in this course.
Three difeerent tees and super friendly staffs make me wanna revisit them again.
Overall very good for the money.

best score of the year

I was hitting the ball really well and shot my best on this day a 74 with hitting 13 greens and having 3 birdies one of which was almost in the hole. This was the best afternoon of my life knowing I could play some scratch golf and finally hitting the ball like I know I could. Gotta keep working on it to be consistently around par all the time and be scratch plus which just comes from ball striking when you hit a lot of greens then you will score well.

First Time Playing

Very nice Facility but has Pace of play issue

I have played this course over the years and it has always been in great shape and fun to play but the pace of play is an issue. They pump one group out after another as soon as the fairway clears on the first hole. This course would do themselves a huge favor by going to 10 min tees times and have the ranger do more then just ride around.

Thanks Mike for playing The Links. Every 10 minutes is a great idea and I would love to do that. Unfortunately the reason almost no courses do that is the loss of thousands and thousands of dollars each month by eliminating tee times per hour thus driving courses out of business. 8 minute tee times has been a standard for years across the country and is proven to be the right amount of gap if all goes well on the course. We take pace very seriously here at The Links and hopefully our rangers were on their way to address any issues. Thank you for your input and we will definitely work harder to make your round here more enjoyable.

Decent course

The course was in good condition considering the recent weather. I did not like the bunkers. There is very little sand. It plays almost like hardpan. The pace of play slowed on the back side; but, was tolerable.

New starter not familiar was course.

New starter confuses golfers with uneven parings. Loads up tee boxes when there's only a handful of people on the course.

Nice surprise

On a whim jumped on a deal at this track and glad I did. Good solid course in better shape than some courses for much more money. Course was in good shape. Greens are a bit slow but overall enjoyable time.

This course is sporty.

If you hit the ball long it helps, but you don't need it for this course. Greens are currently soft and a little slow.

Great conditions late October

Played a chilly saturday afternoon round here in late October and the course was looking good! The greens rolled true and the fairways were lush. Even with a lot of rain before the 90degree rule was in play because this course drains well.

With only limited people on course we flew through our round in 4 hours. The fairways are generous here yet bordered by a housing community. Some greens were huge and some greens were tiny so be sure to check pin placement. Overall Links of Carillon is a really solid track!

Love this golf course

This is one of those almost perfect golf courses that is challenging for the better golfer if you want to take on risk but very playable for the average golfer if you want to play conservative. If the greens were maintained better I would give it 5 stars.

The 18th hole is my favorite in the Chicago area with plenty of risk and reward. All par 5s are reachable in two with good tee and second shots but also allow for a 3rd shot wedge approach. Scenic with plenty of beautiful plants, trees, water and wildlife. Carillon is not a premium golf course but one of my favorites to play, especially for the price.

A well managed golf course

This is the second time playing at The Links at Carillon. It is a well managed golf course. Played the Red/White course from the blue tees (which was a first for me) and it was both difficult and very fun! I really enjoyed this course. Not to mention that you get a great bang for your buck. Tee boxes and greens were is great condition. GPS looked a little outdated but it does the job. Overall a great experience!

Beatiful Escape

Excellent weather plus wonderful course equals Beautiful Escape. They closed the red course that day so I played Blue-White. You can easily loose your ball in the high grass but I was lucky that day. Greens were a little fast that day maybe because of the weather plus they were decently maintained.

Staff was friendly. The 4-some in front of me waited for me before they started the back-9 to let me get ahead of them. Was informed by the starter when I asked which way was 1st hole of Blue course.

Will try to play there again before the golfing year ends if there's another hot deal with my golf buddy. So I can show him where I parred a par 5...haha
