Sort of what I expected, so very wet spots, for course was still playable. The greens rolled well considering how early in the season it was.

First time playing, terrific scenery. Lots of elevation changes, definitely would take playing a couple times to get a better sense how to play here. Greens were in great shape but several of the fairways had very little grass on them, my only negative comment

Been a few years since I’ve played here, nice to see the course conditions improving. One of my favorite courses, has a wonderful variety of holes.

While not her longest golf course around, Coyote Run with all of its bunkers and water hazards can be very challenging if it is windy, which it was when I played. Very early in the season but the greens rolled good, a little slow but good.

First time playing here in over 5 years, but Lost Marsh was still everything I remember. There a couple holes on each side which are borderline unfair, but overall it a fun experience considering what the property use to be in the past.

First time play here in nearly 10 years, promise it will not be that long next time. The course was in fantastic shape for mid October, greens rolled great.

Pleasantly surprised how good of shape course was in considering the lack of rain the area has seen the last month

Early season, little wet in the usual spots out here, but course made it thru the winter well

Deer Creek is always fun. It was very early in the season, so course conditions reflected this, but overall came thru the winter well.

Was in impeccable condition considering how wet the area has been. Staff was more than courteous and help since I was playing as a single, the placed me with a nice couple in town visiting from Kansas City I believe.

Enjoyed it even though there was a 30mph wind the entire round. Shame to here they will be closing later this year, but I will take a lasting memory with me, holed one out on 16(white) from 80 yards out after a terrible tee shot!

Great value for the money, course conditions will improve as the weather improves. One of the toughest finishing 4 hole stretches in the area.

Never playing here before, wasn’t really sure what to expect, but like for the most part what this course has to offer. The course has a nice layout, with a very good mix of short and long holes, a few dogleg holes, with most greens guarded with bunkers. There a few water hazards on the course, but other than a couple holes, really should not come into play. Course conditions are not too bad, but being a forest preserve course, it probably gets lots of play, so at the time of the year I played some of the greens were showing some wear, but still rolled well.

I try to get here once a year because I got my only ace on #11! This is a legit links style course with tall fescue and very undulating greens.

Course was in good condition for late October, greens were in great shape, some of the tee boxes were being worked on. Pay special attention on direction of your ball, Elbe as lots of trees, which means lots of leaves in the fall. Stunned I lost only one ball.

Renovation looked great, first time I played here since the completion of it. Greens rolled good. Good to see many walkers playing since it’s a fairly easy course to walk a round in.

I normally would not write a negative review about a golf course because I am aware of the challenges that they face to keep conditions at a premium, but the quality of the greens here were some of the worst that I have seen anywhere over the last few seasons. Burnt out patches on most of them, and most don’t look like they’ve been mowed in a week. I understand it is difficult, but please provide us with playable greens before anything else. With that said, I hope this course is able to continue to improve, because it is fun, classical design that give golfers an idea how golf courses were in the past

Always have enjoyed playing here when in the area, and was disappointed to have seen it fall into disrepair, but new owner has dramatically turned around the conditions in just a few short years. Yes there are still some areas that need attention, but the greens were fantastic and fairways looked good. Staff was very friendly and accommodated quickly when I asked about playing an additional 18.

It’s been 5+ years since I last played Hickory Stick, and it’s still the same challenging links type Course I remember. Conditions were fantastic and pace of play was great. The staff were terrific, even accommodating with a replay round at no charge. Great mix of holes that makes you think your way around the course, not just grip it and rip it.

Conditions of this course are well above average, and the employees are friendly, but there is just too much quirkiness to a number holes out here that would encourage me to play it again.
