Better on the value-side

The course itself and value is pretty good. The complaint I have is regarding the course conditions. Due to the proximity to the Fox River, this course has probably flooded over a hundred time over the course on 100 years (banner on clubhouse marks this anniversary). The flooding has damaged the fairway in a way only noticeable when driving a cart in the middle of fairway; its like a driving on a washboard with an occasional kindey-buster pot hole. You need an ATV to navigate parts of this course. However, this doesn’t affect hitting a ball off the fairway. Also, and not big deal, but the tee boxes needed to be mowed on the day I played.

Where do I even start from the people that work there to the course itself everything is awesome about this place! I love golfing here it has great views challenging holes and amazing greens!! They are constantly changing the hole placement so makes it fun every time for me I golf here at least twice a week ! I’m a single golfer but I’m always meeting great people here every one is so polite! I would like to say that Andy,Brian,Frank,Randy all make my experience amazing they are all great but a special shout out to Kate she goes above and beyond to make sure I’m always taking care of ! I really appreciate it! I will share a special experience I had on my Birthday! I went to tee off on July 18 at about 12 and I pull up to the first tee and there was a gentleman there asking if I wanted to pair up with him . Little did I know he was actually the cook of the club he made sure I had a great day he was so nice it was the best birthday I’ve could’ve asked for so much fun Thanks to John and Bailey

Greens and tee area are in very good shape. Fairways are green but some looked diseased. They should also be rolled smoother in the spring. The hills make some holes challenging. Staff was friendly, especially the starter

Beautiful old time course

The course is having its 100 year anniversary and its truely such a well laid out course. Clubhouse definitely gives the older vibes to the game. Best part about the course is probably the challenges, the course has alot of different challenges each hole and its alot of fun to try and develop the skills needed to get the job done.

Fun course with plenty of elevation change

This course is interesting hole after hole. Many holes have drastic elevation changes. The greens are as hilly as the course. Made for a fun round. Oh, and the pro shop is in the basement. Took me a minute or two to realize where it was as I found locked door after locked door.

I did not look if there was a bar or anything other than the course itself; I went straight home after the round.

Go play at Cary!

Enjoyed Cary Country Club

You'll enjoy the elevated tee boxes. It's a par 37 on the front and I believe par 35 on the back. We played the white tees and found the greens to be challenging at times. Riding the fairways in the cart we're a little bumpy at times and also be careful leaving the elevated tee boxes in the cart, otherwise you'll be screeching the brakes on the way down. Had a fun time on balcony outdoor seating at the clubhouse.

Great find; fun course with potential for low scores

Cary was great, it was everything we wanted. I wish we were told a head of time that they don’t have a driving range to warm up, so we went to a neighboring public course that had one. Prices of drinks and food were more than reasonable!

They allow ridealongs in the afternoons.

beware of Friday night

We played at 3 pm and the front 9 was great! The rate of play was quick. But at 5 pm there is a couples league. By 5:05 you are SOL. I realized why the hot deal was so inexpensive for 3 pm
