Bliss Creek Golf Course
Played On 04/14/2024Very nice par 70
Shorter course, par 70, under 6,000 yards. If you are looking for a "championship" course this isn't it. But if you are looking for a fun and interesting course with a couple challenging holes, this is the place. Normally in very nice condition. Greens were terrific today. Friendly people, driving range, etc. Very much recommended for the beginner, recreational and senior golfer. Great to work on your game for the low handicappers.
Stony Creek Golf Course
Played On 04/11/2024Nice short course
It's not a "championship" course. Short, par 65, But it has several interesting holes and is normally in very nice shape and in a pretty setting for a metro course. Well worth playing if you are a beginner, casual golfer, or serious golfer wanting to work on your game. Highly recommended.
Stony Creek Golf Course
Played On 03/21/2024Nice short course
Very nice short course. Par 65. Two somewhat challenging holes, the rest are fairly straightforward. Normally in very nice shape and a pretty course. People are usually friendly and pace is usually good. Greens are normally excellent. If you are looking for a "championship" course, this isn't it, but if you want a fun shorter course, this is it. Great for beginners or those wishing to work on their game.
Turtle Creek Golf Club
Played On 02/13/2024Great course
Very nice in all respects. Probably one of the nicest if not the nicest in the area. Highly recommended.
Belle Glade Municipal Golf Club
Played On 01/25/2024Greens need help
Layout is very nice, and tees and fairways and bunkers are all in nice condition. Problem was the greens. On the front, they were soft and slow, but perhaps tolerable. On the back they were a disaster with dead spots all over the place. Putts would bounce around all over the place. It was pure luck if you made a putt. Pace was not too bad, but it seemed like people were reluctant to let smaller or faster groups play through. Before playing, I would check with the course or other reviews to see if the greens have improved.
Indianwood Golf & Country Club
Played On 01/23/2024Decent course
Decent course. Nothing to blow your mind away, but quiet and enjoyable. Nice people. Conditions good.
Island Pines Golf Club
Played On 01/17/2024A few issues
The greens were not in good shape. Very bumpy and irregular. The people, especially the starter were super friendly. We had an early tee time and were the second group off. 7;30 ish. So the pace was great on the front nine. But then they led two very slow groups out ahead of us on the back nine. Apparently these wanted to start on #10. Don't know why. but our great pace slowed to a snail's pace. Very disappointing.
Crane Watch Club

Played On 12/28/2023Nice 9 holer
Nice 9 hole course, normally in excellent condition. Worthwhile.
Oak Springs Golf Course
Played On 12/14/2023Nice
Nice course. Many interesting holes. Normally great condition. Normally not too busy. A little out of the way, but worth it.
Hughes Creek Golf Club
Played On 11/16/2023Great course
Beautiful course. A long time favorite of mine. Normally in excellent condition. Some nice elevation changes. Good mix of holes. No driving range. Definitely worth the trip to play it.
Blackberry Oaks Golf Club
Played On 11/06/2023Chicago Heights Park District - East Course
Played On 11/03/2023Good 9 holer
Generally the course was very nice and the fellow in the pro shop very friendly and helpful.
The greens had been aerated recently and not fully healed and a bit shaggy. I assume this was just due to the time of year.
The course has two sets of tees so you could have some variation if you wanted to play 18. But the signage was a bit confusing if you just wanted to play 9. You could play the blue course or the white course, but the hole numbers didn't seem to match.
Minor. All in all, a very nice municipal course.
White Mountain Executive Golf Course
Played On 09/24/2023Good for beginners or to practice
Basic, short, executive course. Excellent for beginners or to practice. Inexpensive and usually not crowded. Some of the greens have bad spots. Nothing to go out of your way for, but it serves it's purpose very well.
Edgebrook Golf Course
Played On 09/10/2023Quirky
Positives: Greens were nice. Pretty setting in forest preserve.
Negatives: Not for the serious golfers. From the back tees, you tee off from maps. Ground very hard. Many par 4s under 300 yards.
Would be good for kids or new golfers learning the game.
Mill Creek Golf Club
Played On 09/06/2023Very nice course
Very nice course. Many interesting holes. Can be challenging if you can't keep the ball in play. Suitable for golfers of all levels as long as you pick the appropriate tee.
Tuckaway Golf Course
Played On 08/31/2023Nice
Nice course. Greens real nice. Fairways had some dry/hard spots, but it's been awhile since we had rain. Some elevation changes. Normally not very crowded.
Chick Evans Golf Course
Played On 08/29/2023Short but sweet
Nice course in nice shape and isolated from civilization in the forest preserve. It is short, 5700 or so, but still can be challenging. I recommend it as you long as you appreciate it for what it is. Not a tournament course going to host PGA anytime soon, but a very pleasant, fun and interesting course.
Pine Hills Golf Club
Played On 08/15/2023Nice, but basic.
Nice course. But nothing spectacular. Holes somewhat average. Greens were very nice. If you are close and want a reasonable course to play this is it. Probably nothing worth going out of your way for. Young lady in the pro shop was very nice.
White Mountain Executive Golf Course
Played On 08/12/2023Good for beginners or to practice
Nothing spectacular, but normally not busy and inexpensive. Great for beginners, or to practice or just get a quick round in.
