Old Orchard Country Club

Was pleasantly surprised by course conditions and course. Pace was slower than liked but pretty standard for Fridays these days.
Greens could have been faster but were about what I expect for public course. Only reason I could think of for some of the bad reviews is that it is priced like a top end public course and probably somewhat overpriced.

We have played Old Orchard many times over the years and it was always in great shape. Unfortunately, on this visit, the course conditions were horrendous, I can't believe they would keep a course in these conditions, especially for the dollar amount they charged, It was embarrassing. My group will never go there again. Thanks.

My experience was disappointing. I had heard good thing about the course and looking forward to playing it. After two holes I knew it was going to be a long day.
I have never experienced greens like this in my 40 years of playing golf. I don't know if a stimp meter would even register a 2.
The fairway was almost as bad. My friend commented he was concerned about a flyer lie from the middle of the fairway. The view from the tee box should have been my first clue as it is hard to distinguish the fairway from the rough on some holes.

I'll never gp back

If only greens speed could be faster!
Everything else is good.

I have played Old Orchard many times before and am not always impressed with the pace of play or course conditions. This time, both were excellent. It is a great course when it is both maintained and managed. I will be back soon and hope I have a similar experience.

Used to be better, as the years went on it slowly started to go down In quality of fairways, greens, tees, and such. Spongy tees, lots of geese poop, slowest greens in the midwest chicago area thats forsure. Almost as slow of greens as a free 5 hole course near me, that should tell you all you need to know.
