In terms of course layout, this is maybe the most fun I’ve ever played. Lots of dramatic elevation changes and fantastic views, and plays in a way that is not overly challenging for a higher handicapper.

The course was in pretty good shape but not top tier. Greens not quite as fast as I would expect and some were in poor shape.

We played early so pace of play was excellent.

My biggest complaint is that compared to other courses I’ve played in this price range the amenities were mediocre. Our tee time was just before 7 on a Saturday and nothing was open, so I couldn’t even get a coffee before the round. At the turn, which was after 9, stilll nothing open. On a Saturday I’d expect to be able to get coffee at minimum. I realize labor shortages have been a problem during COVID so perhaps that’s to blame.

All in all this is a top notch course you should definitely play. Well worth the price even without the amenities.

Played a 6am Sunday round here and will definitely be back. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Fun layout that is challenging but not overly so. The early round made for a quick pace of play - finished in under 4 hours. One of the best values in the area.

The course itself is fine and the staff is very friendly. No rangers on the course so make sure you have five hours if you want to play here. I won't be back.

Some advice to those unfamiliar with golf etiquette. Try to keep pace with the group in front of you. If you have people waiting for you on every shot, it's best not to spend five minutes per hole looking for your ball. If you're that bad, buy a bucket of used ones and don't worry so much if you lose it. Also, try to walk with a purpose. Pretending to be a pga tour pro reading the greens is extremely rude to the people behind you. Take a look and hit it. We get that you want to break 120 but it'll happen another day.

Gorgeous course with lots of elevation change to make for some fun shots. Challenging but not overly so. For the price this is one of the best courses I've played in the north/nw Chicago area.

The course itself is a must play. Definitely top five I've played in Chicago. Well kept, challenging, and lots of fun shots. Gorgeous scenery.

The pace, however, was awful. We we had multiple groups waiting on the tee box after two holes. Waiting several minutes to hit every shot is a great way to kill the fun of a great course, so I'm hoping this isn't the norm here. I'd still recommend this to anyone, and will definitely give it another try.

The course is still in great shape for this late in the season. Greens very fast typically, but were a bit more manageable this time around. Carts are very nice and have GPS. If you have a weekday off, would highly recommend grabbing a tee time here at a much discounted price!

The course was in good shape and lots of fun holes. We gave up after 14 though after waiting about 5 minutes per shot. Trying to pack too many tee times in while not having anyone out there to manage the pace of play.
