Klein Creek Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Klein Creek Golf Club sprawls across acres of rolling prairieland in the western suburbs of Chicago. Trees frame the layout's gentle doglegs and tall prairie grasses border the fairways. It is a golf course that offers both beautiful scenery and a challenging round. Several lakes also dot the landscape, coming into play on almost every hole. The abundant water hazards are often coupled with spacious, intricately designed bunkers that are also usually paired with wood retaining walls. Contoured mounding frames the fairways and greens as well. Klein Creek Golf Club's layout is not easy by any means but it's fair, offering room for error on even the tougher holes with wide fairways and generous landing areas. There are a variety of approach options for the greens as well, providing great risk-reward opportunities.

Better experience
I had not played Klein Creek in almost four years. They are obviously trying to improve the experience by getting rid of the broken asphalt cart paths in favor of rolled dirt/gravel, and calling dirt laced bunkers unplayable with a drop zone and a plan to grass those bunkers over in the future. Still a challenging course and tees and greens were pretty good after almost a full summer of play. Carts could use some sand to help out the grounds crew on tees and approaches. We got behind a very slow foursome and the staff needed to monitor that and goad them on to pick up the pace. All in all, a better experience versus under the old ownership, and improvements were noticeable. Worth the money.
True Challenge!
This is my home course. It has improved so much over the last few years. This course is certainly for the better player, you have to hit golf shots to have a chance here.
The layout is really great, but you need to be able to play different shot shapes, or you’ll get torn up here!
A beautiful day for golf
This was my first round at Klein Creek and I will definitely come back. Although the course beat me today I found the layout to be attractive, challenging, fair and beautiful to play. The course is in great condition and the greens are fair and fast. Only issue I had was the lack of drinking water on the course, no ball washers or divot sand for repairs. Bring your A game if you plan to score because you’ll need it.
Bring ur short game
An absolute hidden gem! Fairways/greens/bunkers are pure af!! This course is short/narrow/ and the fairways/greens roll out more than you'd expect. It's not long by any means but very narrow with quick greens! This course will keep you honest and ur score will rely on ur short game.
Only downfall about this course is the old bunkers they haven't repaired yet. Other than that 5/5 stars
Klein Creek comments
No carts allowed in the parking lot. Parking lot to cart loading is down two flights of stairs.
New sand only in bunkers near greens. Sand is very pebbly, not sandy.
No driving range. No driving range.
Greens fast but rolled very true.
Saw only two families of geese at the tenth tee.
Did I say no driving range.
Pace is slow.
Pace is slow. Only played 12 holes. Almost 4 hours for that!
Course was in great shape but play was slow
Really can’t complain because the weather for November was beautiful. However 3hours 20 min to play 12 holes was way to long. Decided to stop after #12. Not much help getting people to move along by the staff but the intentions where good.
Great condition and challenging
The course was in amazing shape… fairways, greens, sand… everything was immaculate. Tough layout with narrow fairways and lots of water. Good day overall.
Not best day
Clubhouse person was very good; explained rain checks and weather.
Way too much maintenance activity: I felt like I should rush to get out their way which was the whole round.
Slow twosome in front of me and an impatient twosome behind me also made me feel rushed.
Layout is confusing so maybe more signage needed.
Too much goose poop!
This course is not for everyone because it's steeply hilly. Sand traps almost require a ladder.
Worth playing; will play again but I will have to be prepared.
Great day
Was an outing before we tee off and we moved very quickly. Enjoyed this course and will play again. Timed the weather perfect for golf!

Played course a few years ago and it was better then. Conditions were not as good. Good course but not great.
