Nice course for a Senior

Nice course for a senior. Greens are not the best as no one seems to repair their divots. No starter so I had to guess when I should have teed off. Good value

Goofy Tees

The course was in reasonably good shape. However, they had the tee markers set up way short. We played white tees, and most of the markers were closer to the yellow tees. The worst case is hole #10, which is supposed to be a 482 par 5. From where they had the tees, it played 402, so not really a par 5. I made par, but it sure didn't feel like it. Maybe they are trying to make golfers feel better by having the course set up artificially short, but I just found it annoying.

Easy on and enjoyable

Once I book a tee time online it is always easy to get on the course and most times earlier than scheduled. I always enjoy this course. It is a little gem!

Great Value & Experience

WTG Meadows! This was my first time playing there and was worried based on the price and am so excited that it exceeded my expectations and those of the group. Such a great value with course in great shape and variety of holes. The only negative was a few blind tee shots and I can live with that...especially if you are a better golfer than me. They offer a driving range, practice green with chipping and nicely priced drinks and food, too! Thanks for a great day and look forward to playing here again in the future.

A great day

was great over all, until some jackals hit in to us. A golfer hit into us while we were on the green and started arguing with us saying that we were slow it's called it takes patience but over all was a good day ..

Excellent Course for the Money

It’s not one of the premier public golf courses around Chicago, but that’s partly due to the richness in public golf here in general. This course is one of the best bang for buck you are going to get, it’s a well maintained, slightly above average golf course that you can play with fast pace on a lucky day, for a low
price. I’ll be back.
