Hole locations

One way to improve the experience would be to put a map of how to get to the next hole on the score card. Especially #17.
Had a great time. Beautiful area.

Valley Ridge Golf Course, Antioch, IL

Course has a strange layout located in a subdivision with cart paths going thru different neighborhoods and crossing streets to tee off, weird.

Not worth your money

Several issues make me not want to come back. Paid for the 18 cart rate in advance but was told it was walking only the day of play and wasn't offered a partial refund. The tee boxes had no markings for where they actually were and signs had very stale yardages (hole 9 said 157, GPS said 197. Tried splitting the difference and obviously came up short). Fairway was not cut much better than the rough and overall the course was a swamp with many fairways having standing water. Even if I had the opportunity to use a cart it wouldn't have been worth nearly $40.

Enjoyable winter golf

Very much enjoyed the experience. The course was in great shape for the month of January. Greens were soft in spots but overall rolled well. Glad the course was open on a surprisingly warm day.

The pace of play of horrible

The overall of the course was alright besides the hard sand and tea boxes. Had to take a wedge to pound in my tee and it took 6 hours to do 18! Had a group of 8 and a group of 4 in front of us taking their sweet time. The group of 4 were a scramble team but man they were super slow and no one beside their female teammate could hit the ball straight.

Overall tho might comeback on a week day or something. The layout is nice and a place to not take serious.
