Course played great. The greens were recently aerated but still rolled true. Double cut & roll the
& this place would be lights out!

The course was in great shape. Greens were recently aerated but still rolled nice. I'm going to start playing here regularly.

A shockingly great executive track with fantastic, consistent greens. If the maintenance team wanted to trick it up & roll the greens, putting would be brutal!
I will definitely go back

Relatively short course with some very tricky greens. Lots of holes have risk vs reward decisions to be made. Pace of play (5+ hours) was a little slow but not crazy.

As a 20 year member when it was a private club I was impressed with how the course was in such good shape. I’ve played it previously & it was I. rough shape. Now it is a great $50 golf course

At this point I would only recommend Cranes Landing as a last minute ‘Hot Deal’ for <$50. Because of lack of play the greens are ok, but the rest of the course really needs some TLC.
It’s really too bad; a few years ago when it was a true resort course it was a really nice track with small, elevated & well protected greens along with tight bent grass fairways. It was a short but challenging course that required all of your clubs & every shot.
Hopefully they put some money into it & return it to its former self.

Such a great value on a hidden gem of a course. It’s in great shape & the greens are shockingly fast this early in the year

Hard to complain about golf in November but play was excessively slow.
Course was in shockingly good condition. The greens were recently aerated & there were a ton of leaves everywhere but other than that it was great

Course was in great condition. The layout is excellent, from the tips you need some shot making ability. I think playing from any of the more forward tees, straight shots will keep you safe.
Round was a little slow, but not a death march. We could have played in 4 hours, but the 4 walkers ahead of us were over a hole behind the group in front of them (big $ game??)

Typical park district course, the round was nothing special. The course was in decent enough shape with the typical muni issues; ball marks on greens, fairway divots, loud foursomes & occasionally getting hit into.
The bar area on the clubhouse is very nice, but the staff (bartender Sharron specifically) seemed disinterested in servicing.

This will be my new home course. I hadn't played here in years, and had forgotten how nice it is. The clubhouse is a bit dated, but for a park district run club the course is in fantastic shape. Bent grass throughout, undulating fairways and very nice, true greens...they weren't all chopped up like most other muni's can be. I recently moved back into the area and I will be changing my CDGA membership to Old Orchard CC next year.

I used a $30 Hot Deal to book a time for me and my beginner spouse. It was essentially the same cost as going to a range to hit balls. Its a nice executive course, long enough that I used all 14 clubs but short enough that she could get to the green in a reasonable amount of strokes on most holes too.
It was an inexpensive practice round.
