Beautiful Course

Course conditions were fantastic, greens slope from back to front. Very fast greens, maybe given conditions on the day I played. Pace was very slow, took 5.5 hours to play 18. Staff was very professional, elevated tee boxes and very few water hazards. Relatively challenging course layout, will play again for sure.

Interesting course

This course says its 100 years old. Don't know if that's correct but it is mature. Tee boxes were a little hard on some holes, greens were good although a little slow. Had some undulations on them. Corse has several elevation changes which made it interesting. Bunkers were for the most part terrible. Sand hard.
Course was a little difficult to find without GPS, but worth the effort. Price was very good.

Frustrating pin placements

Almost every green on the property slopes drastically from back to front and with the dry conditions we have had in this area, the greens are hard and fast. Yet the greenskeeper continues to place pins on slopes near the front of the green, making it nearly impossible to keep your ball on the green from anywhere other than directly below the hole. And even that sometimes didn't work as one player in our group had a straight, uphill putt stop and roll back to his feet. Will definitely avoid this course in the future.

Course is a hidden GEM!

I went out as a single with cart on a Friday. Gorgeous day and this is a really nice course with mostly elevated tee boxes. Very nice fairways, rough a bit high but acceptable. This course is a hidden gem and is every bit as good as the more expensive Foxford Hills and nice Chalet Hills course both in Cary, IL. You will not be disappointed.

For beginners or seasoned golfers

Fun course with lots of elevation changes. Most fairways are quite wide and not alot of water hazards. No drinking water on course so bring a good size drinking cooler to stay hydrated. Didn’t see a beverage cart until 15. Bring your own gps or rangefinder for accurate distances to the green. Not a easy walkable course due to elevation changes and green to tee distances. Definitely will play again since it cost me only $40 for 18 with cart, hotdog and chips.

Disappointing!

Pace of play was very slow and course fairways bumpy and patchy. Will give the benefit of the doubt somewhat due to lack of rain. First time playing and expected better conditions.

Nice Course

Course is in good condition considering that we are in the middle of a drought. Greens a little hard but good shape. Again, no rain. Wide open course. Par 3's are challenging though. Pace of play was good. Can't beat the price.

SLOW

Tee time scheduled for 8:49am on a Saturday but didn’t get off until after 9:15am. We had to wait on every hole and the ranger driving around didn’t do anything about the incredibly slow group 3-4 holes ahead of us holding everyone up. Eventually left after 5 hours since we were only through 12.
