I booked a tee time for 18 holes at 10:30 AM on Golf Now. When I arrived at the course, I found golf camp going on on the first two holes and was told by the person at the desk that the last six holes were also used by the camp. I was told we could play holes 3-12 twice for $29. We decided to do that as we were already at the course. However, we found that on two of the holes, people were getting golf lessons - not from pros from the course. Who wants to go out to play golf and have these types of obstacles in the way of a fun day? As I understand it, golf camp is scheduled for a good part of the summer so the course should not be selling 18 holes during camp hours on Golf Now without some sort of disclaimer. The course itself is in decent enough shape and is a short easy course that would otherwise make for a pleasant round for people, like me, who live nearby.

This is a golf course that is not particularly well maintained. We played on a hot humid Friday. There was no beverage cart and the only water station we saw did not have a water cooler. The only bathroom facilities were in the clubhouse at the turn and they were disgusting. Two of the toilets were out of order and only one of the three sinks was working. This course seems to want to trade on its cachet as a one time members only club, but to me, the nearby park district courses are far more pleasant to play.
