Senica's Oak Ridge Golf Club sprawls across gently rolling terrain that was used to guide the design. The resulting layout blends in almost seamlessly with the natural landscape. The golf course is routed through forests of mature oak trees and around five sparkling lakes. The back nine plays along a meandering creek. Water hazards come into play on a total of 13 holes and there are nearly 50 bunkers strategically placed throughout. The golf course demands a fair amount of accuracy but it's not overly punishing if you're errant. The final hole plays from an elevated tee, requiring a carry over the creek in order to reach the green. In addition to the golf course, Oak Ridge also offers a practice facility with a driving range, two practice greens, and a practice bunker.

Wet day fun !

Had a nice round. Course was wet ( cart path only) after the rain we got the day before. The staff was out mowing and the greens were in very good condition. Some of the fairways were a bit soggy , but not to bad as most of the course draines well.

This the course play a lot , you should consider playing here if you can.

Not bad But nothing to brag about

Nice lay out sand traps need work. If you get in a trap watch for rocks.For the price I thought I would get a little more of a challenge. I will say there are some very pictures holes. I will play again on the GolfNow HotDeals.

Must play if you are in Starved rock area

Excellent condition. Course starts out flat and gradually winds its way through ravines on the back 9. Some very scenic holes on the back 9. Will be back and would recommend this course.

Good course, bad day

Greens were being aerated, and we had to play the back nine twice. We didn't find out until we started on the front nine, once at the start and again after the first (back) nine. We had bets with carries going, and the natives got restless (our foursome). Twice we had to stop playing a hole before finishing, and certain players were in position to win had we been able to finish. There were on-course communication problems with this situation, involving the maintenance workers. One said something to the effect that nobody tells anyone anything around here. Tempers got a bit raised by some of us, which doesn't make for a good day.
:)

But anyway, it is a challenging fun course. It is a first shot golf course for sure! If you are playing the correct tees, you cannot just hit driver on every hole. If someone knows out how to play the 12th, please let me know!!! :)

We spent a lot of time looking for balls in the rough. But it has been very rainy. In normal times, I would hope they keep the rough lower than it was, because the course has enough defenses otherwise.

For Chicagoland golfers, I would say this course is Big Run Lite. Not as difficult but the same type of terrain and shot values. We plan to go again.

Good Course for the area

Holes 1 through 13 are open and you have room for misses. The last 5 holes are played among mature Oak Trees and miss areas get smaller. Wish the whole course was like that. Greens were fast. Pro shop guy was very friendly and since this was my first time gave me a yardage book.

I will go back.

Very nice course and challenging

The course was in great condition and I had a lot of fun playing there. Some holds were very tight and narrow so you have to hit it straight. It's a beautiful course especially for the price.
