Good for a Fairly Quick 9

Pace of play good for a Saturday. Course is in decent shape. Greens are in fine shape but there is some hard pan around the fairways. Great overall value however.

Staff is great

Guys working the club house were great. $36 for 9 holes with a cart is a little steep for a forest preserve course

In great condition right now, best I've seen it

Forest preserve courses really take the "forest" part seriously. No bunkers here, but enough trees and elevation changes to make most holes challenging.

You cannot let a threesome tee up with one set of clubs. and, then see that at least 1 of 3 has never played before.

We've all been new to this game at one point but allowing a person to swing 5-10 times to hit the hit ball 5-10 feet makes for a long round.

It's an excellent opportunity for the course to teach the new player about pace pf play.

You cannot allow 1 group to let 3 tee-times stack up at the tee box waiting for a threesome to get out of the fairway while the 2 holes in front of the 1 bag group are wide-open.

The course was in decent shape for winter, except for all the duck feces everywhere

Tee boxes are better this year

Greens are nice and tee boxes feel more level this year - well done.
