Worth the Drive

Not easy to get to from the Elk Grove and Park Ridge area, but once you get there it's well worth the effort. Even just having a net to hit into to warm up not ideal but once you get on the course you forget all of that.
Very good condition, tees, fairways and greens.Plus there's plenty of challenging holes .

fun course

It is a fun course with elevation changes you won't see on many if any courses in the nw chicago burbs. Greens had a few pitch marks for this early on and they could use a ranger on the weekend to move the pace along. 5 hours for 18 is just ttoo long.

Nice course

The layout is top notch and the greens are great
This course is hard so play can be slow so I try to visit in off peak times. I went on a day with light rain so pace was great.
