Playable Course for Early Season

Greens were running consistently and are in good shape. Fairways were a bit rough due to it being early season. No rakes in the bunkers which was not good and frankly, not a very big ask. Clubhouse and starter were someone courteous, nothing over the top courteous. Restaurant staff was nice but soda was only available in to go cups. Will play here again as it is so close to Chicago.

Not worth the cost IMO, pricey and loud

Played Wilmette for the first time and have to say was pretty disappointed. The pro shop staff was a bit salty and unwelcoming. I also thought the golf cart price was a bit high. It was 40 for two of us to share a cart! Most places it’s half that. Green fees were 55-60 which for most courses in this shape is good however this courses first 3-4 holes have the main garage shed in between them and it was constant grounds vehicles moving around us in addition to some sort of rock/ground quarry that is night next to the golf course which made was also super loud and distracting. So overall just not a real peaceful round of golf. There are plenty of other places just as nice, that are more peaceful, have a staff with better attitudes at a better price point than this one.

Nice enough course but pace of play horrific

I like Wilmette as the course goes. Always in good shape, good challenging course. My issue is pace of play! No rangers and back nine ALWAYS gets backed up. We had to 2 high school foursomes ahead of us on back. I called pro shop to complain and nobody ever does anything. More on the coach of the girls but we had to wait to tee off on every hole on back except 10. Thought a 2:30 tee time would be easy to get in prior to darkness but.... not so much. I understand it's weekend but the fees they charge are not cheap. I'd say over priced given pace of play. Make sure to allow yourself more time than you need and maybe someday, they will try to keep things moving along. Until then, I wouldn't recommend this experience.

Good course Staff Issues

Pros: the course is in very good shape, the pace of play is brisk and the club restaurant is high quality. Carts having GPS is a big deal as well.

Cons: the guy checking people in was very stressed and was rude. When I said hello while checking in he said he was not paid enough to deal with the “a-holes that play here.” When I said I wanted to rent a golf cart he responded that I would have to pay for it. Yes, that’s why I asked to rent a cart. He went on to complain about people not wanting to pay. I get that some people may have been abusive to him but I was being polite.

A nice golf course

It is a well-maintained golf course with many useful facilities. Occasionally a ball flies from the next hole, which is dangerous, but the golf course is well maintained.
