Nice 9 hole course

Nice 9 hole course. Long enough to make it enjoyable for big hitters and short enough for average hitters and ladies to enjoy. Greens are in good shape and just enough hazards to make it challenging.

Saddlebrooke Ranch

Course is in good winter shape. They have left some holes non-reseeded, so they're dormant Bermuda, painted green. Still a fun course to play. Worth the price.

Summer conditions

The course is not in the best shape at the moment. Lots of grass clippings, some rugged cart pathways and slow greens. I've played here in the winter and found it to be in much better condition. Still enjoyed the round. Very friendly staff.

High on the Highlands.

Course is in great shape, which can be hard to find in the summer. Helpful, friendly staff, range balls are included with your greens fee and very nice amenities. Can't wait to play it again.

Established course.

Saw the good reviews and expected a better maintained course. Greens are nice, but the fairways are a joke. Crabgrass and clover with bare patches. No difference between fairway and rough. Antique carts. Super friendly staff and beer on tap!

OLDIE, BUT NO LONGER A GOODIE.

Used to play this course many years agof and it was a diamond in the rough. Good for beginners or those just looking to practice. No sand traps. Fairways are like hitting from your mowed lawn. Wouldn't play it unless it's a bargain hot deal.

Course is in really good condition considering all the rain.

Great deal with GolfNow. Course is in very good condition considering all the rain that we've had lately. Awesome scenic views around course. Friendly staff and not over crowded.

Best of the publicly accessible courses at Saddlebrooke

Preserve was in the best condition compared to Mountainview and Saddlebrooke Ranch. Greens were a little slow, but I'm guessing that's due to the length of the grass for the summer. Great value through Golfnow.

Worse course condition I've seen there

Worse course conditions that I've seen at the Ranch. Not sure why, but the fairways, bunkers and greens were all in poor condition. Will not golf there until I hear it's back in shape, no matter how good the deal is. Just wasn't worth it. Rough had loads of grass clippings, bunkers haven't had sand added or been raked since who knows when, greens were long and bumpy.

This course is in great condition.

Fun course with some fast greens. A few narrow fairways to hit, but a very enjoyable course. Leaves are starting to fall and they were working on a few of the tee boxes, but still a great Golf Now deal.

In great shape for a Park District course.

This is a very nice golf course that is well maintained. Greens are in very good shape and the sand traps actually have sand in them. Enjoyed it very much at a great Golf Now price. Thanks Golf Now.

Pleasantly surprised.

This was my first time playing the course and I was pleasantly surprised with its conditon. The greens were some of the nicest I've played this year. The fairways and greens are in great condition. If I had to remark about anything it would perhaps be the lack of a second cutting along the fairways. The rough is left quite high, which does make it challenging to hit out of. It would be nice to have a better lie if you're just off of the fairway in the second cut.

Well established, mature course.

Not a very long course, but has plenty of mature trees lining it. Most of the fairways are wide, but there are a few that are narrow and require a more precise drive off the tee. Very nice bar/restaurant on site for a cool drink and a sandwich at the turn or afterward.

A Good Bargain with Golf Now.

Played the course during the holiday weekend. It was a little slow due to the volume, but course conditions were good. A little confused as to why they don't provide sand for filling divots with the carts or on the par threes. Staff is very friendly and it was nice to have a refreshment/snack cart on the course. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add some sand to the green area bunkers.

Awesome mountain views.

Great course. The only complaint would be about the sand in the traps surrounding the greens. They could use some new sand and/or at least grooming.
