Springbrook Golf Course sits next to Dragon Lake in Dupage County Forest Preserve, boasting some of the finest views of all the open space and trails Naperville has to offer. The course is a local favorite that is both challenging and playable. It's tougher and also considered more scenic that Naperville's other municipal course, Naperbrook. The rough can be a challenge to get out of and there are also strategically placed bunkers lurking along the undulating greens. It's a golf course that will test all aspects of your game but it's not overly difficult for high handicappers. Players of all skill levels can approach it with confidence. In addition to the golf course, Springbrook also has a practice facility that includes a natural turf range, two practice putting greens, and a short-game area with bunkers.

Course was in good condition. Greens are being aerated. Played from the tips and proved to be challenging. $17 per person is a mega bargain for this course. Pace of play was very good. My son and I finished in 3.5.

Great for "long hitters"

Good course, the only thing is that is only the last week of september and the tree leaves are getting out of control, i had problems finding my ball even in the fairways, other than that is ok.

The course was very challenging. Haven't played there in about 15 years. Hit the fairways or else you will be in US Open rough. Greens need to be maintained a little better, many ball marks.

Understaffed and too many players on course

Took over 5 hours to play 16 holes. Course booked an outing on a Saturday with no rangers in sght.. Four foursomes on teebox on hole 7. Still no rangers to be seen. Saw a ranger at #16 and he said municipal golf was all about generating revenue. Apparently they don't realize overbooking a course will lead to people not returning, which leads to loss of revenue. Greens were in poor shape. I will not be returning.

Terrific park district course

If you are looking for a highly difficult, high end, expensive golf experience, this is not the course for you. If you are looking for a well maintained, playable, fun golf course, with friendly personnel at a great price --- then you have found your course!

Course was in good shape - even after 2 inches of rain the previous day. Some great risk reward holes and a couple of stout holes as well.

Challenging course that is fun to play.

I got a great price on GOLF NOW. I've played the course a few times and find it to be one of the best public courses in the area. If you shoot well here, it feels like you accomplished something. With all the rain we've been having, the greens were a litle slow, but that was understandable. My only complaint was that they put a fousome of 10-year olds in front of us. They only played 9, but that 9 took 2:45. Wish there had been a ranger to move them along.

Pace of play was terribly long!

The course itself was fine but the pace of play made the experience a bad one. First of all the starter on the first hole told us that since it was a beautiful day "they" had packed the course with as many people as possible. We teed off 25 minutes late and then waited at every shot for the group in front of us, who waited for the group in front of them. After 16 holes and 5 hours of play our foursome actually went around the groups in front of us and left. We were running late and since the pace had been so slow we never got in a good rhythm and all four of us felt like we had played poorly. I do not think i will play golf at Springbrook again.

A Lot More Than I Expected

I really enjoyed the layout of this course. Lots of different types of holes, challenging but very enjoyable. Some holes give you the choice to play a safe shot or to be agressive. Fairways were a little flooded, especially since it was raining the first half of the day we played. Greens were lighting fast. Overall enjoyed and will definitely be back!

Very slow play with no marshals

The fact that it was a Monday and the round took over 5 hours is ridiculous. There was not one marshal our entire round while out on the course to try and help to see which groups were holding everyone up. There was also not one beverage cart the entire round either which was very disappointing. For a park district public coarse that charges so much for a round, I would certainly expect better pace of play and course attentiveness.

Challenging layout.

The course is in good condition but the rough is so long that you have to walk over your ball to find it. Play is slowed down as a result. Carts are allowed to go anywhere even next to the green which causes damage to the grass near the greens and makes for odd ball positions.
