Way too slow!
The pace of play was ridiculous. Tee time was 7:47... Didn't finish until 1:00. Didn't see a ranger on the course. On plus side the greens are in great shape. But 5+ hours to play golf in 90* heat is insane. Never again!
Very good base of a good course
However, flooding still a problem not solved. Just like cranes land but the river, 14,14 etc still flooding filled numerous birds and poops. One Hole's huge fairway sand bunker fulfilled water becomes a big pond!
The Champ is Undefeated.
I play here regularly but I also travel all over the Chicago area to play. At one point this summer Joe Louis was arguably playing as the best course as the greens were running like tournament speed and they traps were well maintained with REAL sand. It’s one of the longest if not the longest course in the area and always a challenge. If you aren’t from the area make the trip for sure.
Solid
One of the easiest to access full length par 72 courses from the city. Quite challenging. Some tough bunker and pin placements, sloped greens. Only big complaint is the fairways are rock hard in several places. I like to walk the course since it’s usually quite busy and no point in driving up fast to each shot just to wait on the group in front
Nice Course!
Course what good condition despite it rained a lot the night before we played. Greens were well groomed. Steady pace for the round. Overall an enjoyable round of golf with my 2 teen age sons. Much improved since the last time I played there about 10 years ago. Definitely will play again.
Surprised
A beautiful GC in Riverdale, IL.
Now I have another great place to play.
There are just enough challenging holes to keep you coming back for more.
3 club challenge
Greens were rolling great even after all night rain. Bunkers had good playable sand. Fairways were in good shape.
Sunday outing
A groitof 26 decided to play here again. We were pleasantly surprised to see how great shape the course was kept. Fairways were well Manicured greens were fast despite the amount of rain that came down overnight. It drained well. Will play there again
Great Shape, Great Greens
Was overwhelmed with how great of shape the course was in. Greens had a roll to them and the staff was excellent.
Joe was in great shape!! It played well even thonit rained all day the day before & was drizzling when My Group of 28 Tee Off yesterday. The rough was not to high could find your ball the fairways was in excellent shape. Greens rolled well even have sand in the traps now I see. Jimmy Chess & Staff have done an Excellent job w Joe Louis. Look forward to bringn the Group back out to play again before season over.
Great Day
From checking in with Angelika through the round what a great day. Course in superb condition and staff on top of their game. Great course great people. Kudos to Jimmie and the whole staff.
Thank you for your feedback, we understand that pace is important to your round and are currently working on a pace of play program to speed things up on the course. We look forward to implementing this program so we can offer each guest an even better golfing experience.
