Waters Edge

Course is in great shape. Pace of play was really good. Hit out of one trap and it had sand in it. Rough was cut but thick. Could find balls off the fairway. Enjoyed the round. Greens were true with undulations.

Waters Edge Review

There needs to be a ranger or the starter needs to lose their job. Continuously having 4 groups on one hole is not how a Golf course is supposed to be managed.

Decent track. Narrow fairways and challenging greens. Placing the cups on the middle of a slope (numerous holes) is interesting for the Memorial Day Weekend golfer taking too much time on the greens...

There was no starter when we teed off at 1:20. Concession stand was not open.. we saw ranger at various times but he never spoke to us. All he seemed to be doing was picking up garbage from the cans

Great Golf Course for a Saturday

Water's Edge was really a great course, and it is on my "A-List" for my Chicago Public Courses. The course was in great shape, had challenging but true greens, and each hole was unique. The Staff, Starter, and Cart Girl were all very friendly. This is a must-play on a Saturday with the friends!

Greens punched and sanded

Don’t play here until late May. Nine holes were closed and the nine that were open 5-13 were just punched and sanded. Basically unplayable. The staff apologized as the aeration was earlier than they were told. The nine hole closure led to issues at the turn as they tried to stagger those players turning with those starting. Made for a long day. The layout of this course is strong and interesting, so definitely play it. Just wait for the greens to recover.

Aerating...

Booked on Monday for a Tuesday round- got to the course and was informed they were aerating- no notice provided on Golfnow. Aside from the aeration, they closed half the course (to aerate it) and we were only allowed to play 5 thru 13- twice to make our 18. Huge disappointment- wish we would have been told prior to arriving at the course. As we made the "turn" back to 5- it was a mess. There were 2-3 groups each hole- a little notice prior would have avoided many upset golfers...
