I've played this course before which is exactly why I keep going back. It is an amazingly beautiful course. Fair yet challenging course. Very friendly staff. Clubhouse is beautiful inside and out. If you consider yourself a golfer then you will be glad you played here.

We played this course last weekend and found it to be in a gorgeous setting. This Kishwaukee River touches 11 holes, including crossing a few fairways along the way. It's like playing in an arboretum or state forest. The size, shape and contours of the greens are very fair. However, some of the greens have a fungus or mold, the irrigation system obviously is not being used anywhere as the ground is VERY hard and the grass is extremely short. There is no grass to support your ball above the ground. We noticed that the ground is so ridiculously hard that there were no divots taken anywhere. The sandtraps have construction grade sand for mixing concrete. Also, they are not maintained at all. In the sand? Do yourself a favor, just pick it up and keep playing. I'm not going to risk scratching my clubs in their sand traps because they won't take care of them. It's a very tired course but still beautiful. Maintenance appears to have been lacking for a few years. Having said all that, I will still go back to play. It is an interesting lay out with incredible views.
