Steeple Chase Golf Club
Played On 06/08/2019Best course value in the northern IL area. Hands down.
I love this course. Every time I play at another course, especially when I play at other expensive courses, I love this one even more.
They have the best greens I've ever played on because they're mostly flat and slope but make all putts challenging with fast green speed. You can one putt as easily as you can three jack on the green!
The landscape is beautifully done and makes it challenging, especially if you're chipping downhill. The traps are perfectly placed. The fairways aren't crowded by huge, branchy trees. The dog legs of the fairways are normally 200-250 out, and most of them aren't sharp. As a guy who can drive 250-300 depending on wind conditions, this plays perfect for me. It's fun to try and hit a draw over the trees. Because the tree density isn't as high as a lot of other courses, it's pretty easy to find your ball.
The onboard GPS is a godsend. It's very accurate and it really helps me play my best round.
Generally speaking, the average group that you're golfing around are friendly and relaxed. You don't feel pressure if you fall behind pace because of a bad hole or anything like that.
Overall, to me it doesn't make sense to play at a slightly cheaper course and sacrifice the quality that you would get here @ Steeplechase.
