The Right Manager makes a Big difference

Played here last year and it was absolutely terrible. Tee times stacked together, slow pace and over all not very good. Well this year totally different because Mike the manager was totally in control not the players. He was at the first tee box instructing who would be playing with each other. He moved people gracefully and was in total control. He also checked you in and when I finished my round he was washing a cart in the back. Wow! where have you been all these years. Anyway I would definately play here again because now the course is in control. The fairways were not bad for this time of the year and the green were good. Pace of play was good because of the manager Mike getting players off right and in a timely manner.

Good course

Greens and tee boxes good, some bare spots on fairways but not bad. No range but a nice easy 9 hole course. Pretty cheap if you walk. Would play again

Good place to get in 9

A little overpriced. But a nice place to get in some swings. Good to see they were actually working on some of the tee boxes. If you play the Forest Preserve courses, the discount card is a must.

Don’t expect to play quickly

Great course to go out and enjoy some time ( 3 hours ) with your friends. Priced fairly and course was in ok condition.
Pace is slow so plan accordingly.

Value play.

Value play course within driving distance of Chicago!

Good conditions and approachable course. Pretty open with short hole lengths. If driver is going well, good shots to approach and make good scores.

It’s not a super pretty course or challenging for advanced players but for someone like me learning, it’s open and super inviting.

Hole 5 is the hardest , approaching with iron is wise!

Great Staff

Special thanks to the two staffers working the check-in and carts They were extremely patient and professional as they adeptly handled a shortage of golf carts before our tee time. Course pace was brisk and the condition of the course was fine but the aerating of the greens caused them to be a bit bumpy.
