Slow or no pace

The pace is slow because of players searching for their ball. The terrain is challenging however many tee shots are blind shots over or down hill. It’s is too punitive for both good players and hackers should be banned. It’s really hard to create any tempo / pace . I’ve played it twice this summer and pretty sure I won’t be back. The leaves have begun to fall, forget it

Great Track

This is a great muni course. They obviously are still investing in the course maintenance wise. The bunkers had raked sand. The green rolled consistent and true.. I will definitely play again

Maintenance Crew Day

Fox Bend is really nice track. Today was unbelievably slow. The maintenance crews were allowed to play and they weren’t golfers. Everyone on the course was frustrated to no end. I’ll still go back but beware of too low of a rate. It’s too good to be true 23$

Value and pace

Eagle Creek, is a great value anytime of the year. I've played in February and in the summer. The pace of play is excellent ; not a ton of play. Challenging layout but not overly difficult . The staff is very friendly and professional

Slow pace

Whitetail is a nice challenging track. The pace of play is always slow. It's usually windy the only question is will it be blustery. When the winds are high its difficult to putt and consistently strike the ball. You can't purchase beer on the last 7 holes; it's dry because it is indian land.
The course allows too many twosomes which cause things to stack up if one or more group plays slow. I won't pay full rates , golfnow only for me on rare occasions

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Just to clarify the back 9 holes are in Na-Au-Say township which is a dry township dating back to prohibition which is why we cannot sell alcohol. As far as twosomes breaking up on the weekends, when the course is not busy we request that groups tee off together but many times they will break up on the course.

Rollin Rolling

Wedge is always in great condition;. Kudos to the park district for their diligence in keeping up. The track is not difficult. It's pretty wide open however the greens are always rolling true and firm. The greens don't hold the balls too much.. All n all if you catch a GolfNow round it's one great value

Need a little pace

Blackberry Oaks is a great challenging track. The rates are always reasonable however a ranger would be helpful; Not to harass but to keep groups moving.

Golfnow deal

Phillips is a nice track however there are better choices in their normal pricing range. They don't offer memberships or promotions and they have not kept the course in top condition this year. The rough is longer than in the past. yesterday 7/26 was no different. The rough was long and the bunkers were not raked during an afternoon round; no excuse. The staff reflects the director/ pro. I've only played there about 5xs this season because of the price increase and it's my home course. Twilight does not start till 4, give me a break

Best Value in Area

The pace of play and course condition alone makes it the best value. My last 3 rounds were completed in 4 hrs. The only issues ii have are 1.no water on course and 2. The ninth hole does not bring you back to the clubhouse .

Target golf

Awesome experience for my first at Bowes Creek. I was able to catch a great deal on Golfnow. I would not recommend this course for high handicap players especially at regular rates. The tract is great with lots of strategically placed bunkers. The weather was mid 70's and we played in 4 hrs. The amenities include , Range balls , gps, and chipping area. Aesthetically pleasing with lots of elevation changes on the back nine. Lastly try and stay below the cup
