When I found out I had a trip to Chicago in my future, I knew I had to visit Cog Hill; I certainly was not disappointed with that decision.
It was in great condition - the tee boxes and fairways were well manicured, the rough was thick and lush, the greens were slick and rolled well. The bunkers here are deadly. I wore my sand wedge out. I encountered lots of odd stances and terrible lies when in and around the bunkers.
At $155 for 18 holes with cart and range balls, this was easily the most I'd ever paid for a round, but it was well worth it to play an incredible course with rich history. I would love to take another crack at Dubsdread!

What a great course! It is certainly challenging enough to push your limits, but not to the point of making your round feel like survival.
The fairways and tee boxes are excellent, the greens were in great shape, although slightly slower than expected.
It was great seeing the holes and views I've seen over the years watching the John Deere Classic on TV. I especially enjoyed seeing the 14th, where Sticker made his miracle par from the 13th tee; and of course, the 18th green - I tried to recreate Spieth's bunker shot and lipped it out.
This course is a long way from home, so I'm not sure I'll ever get another chance to play it; but if the opportunity arises, the $100 greens fee is well worth it.
