Length 6290 yards

Rating 71.1

Crane's Landing Golf Club is the centerpiece of Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Designed by George Fazio, the course winds across 110 acres of preserved woodlands. It is a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary that offers stunning views of the Des Plaines River nearby. At just over 6,300 yards, the golf course is not particularly lengthy but it still offers some formidable challenges. Water is a prominent feature of the course with ponds and a winding river coming into play on 12 holes. The greens are small and raised and the sculpted fairways are tightly lined with mature trees, demanding accuracy off the tee. Crane's Landing Golf Club's back nine is especially difficult thanks to the river, which runs along the entire left side of the 13th hole and also appears on no. 17, the course's longest hole.

Green's were incredibly difficult

Greens were like putting on ice. Extremely fast with difficult hole locations. I almost never 3 putt, but 3 putted 16 of 18 holes.

The people I played with said it was very unusual for the greens to be so fast.

Nice Course, Downgraded due to Staff

I will start by saying I was playing solo and was using a golf cart and pared up with another solo who had his own cart. The course was enjoyable and mostly well maintained. Some of the greens and tee boxes were chopped up and the fairways were very wet.

I was enjoying my round until I got to the 9th hole and a staff member (perhaps the head pro or club house manager) drove up and questioned why both of us had our own carts and that ‘policy’’ is that all carts must have two riders. The guy demanded that me and the stranger I was paired up with share carts, mid-round. I will say I’ve been to courses that have this policy but it’s enforced by the club house or the starter. I’ve never had this particular situation happen. Needless to say it left a bad taste in my mouth regarding the course. If your course is going to be cheap and not have enough carts, be sure to enforce your policy before people start playing their round.

Nice course play on the slow side

Crain’s landing is a nice course with a resort layout so wider fairway and able to run ball up on most holes . It has nice greens on the slower side be true . They need to be rolled to become a little quicker.
Cours has a fun shorter layout But at 6200 long enough for me. The pace of play and price are the one downsides. Many senior golfers that don’t normally let singles play through you just have to be nice and persistent and they will let you get unless you like 4+. Hour rounds with the course 1/3 of capacity.
This is a 30 dollar course max I find it on hot tees often and use my ten dollar off rewards.
The senior rate during the week is 35 with cart so GolfNow is the way to play here.
I try to play off peak to lesson the slow play like after 10 am weekdays

Sad conditions

I would give up golf if this was the only course available to me. Horrible conditions. Sad that Marriotts would put their brand on this product.

Fun course

This course can easily be a great course but falls short because of the poor green conditions. For $60 I would have expected the greens not to be torn up on so many holes.
