Course #4 Dubsdread at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club
Played On 09/20/2015Extremely Disappointed
I am writing this review in the hopes that it makes its way to Nick Mokelke, David Impastato, Chris Flick, and the Jemsek family.
I had the opportunity to play Cog Hill #4 this past Sunday, September 20th and was incredibly disappointed.
I grew up attending the Western Open, watching it on TV, and even volunteered as a standard bearer a few years. Playing Dubsdread with my father, who took me to the tournament all of those years was always on my bucket list. We were excited to pin seek on the downhill 12th and the 13th below “Pork Chop Hill” and then cut the corner on 16 to make birdie. Last Sunday was an experience far from what was expected.
We paid $155.00 expecting to play a PGA Tour quality round of golf, instead we played a long hard municipal course that was in terrible condition. Throughout our entire round not one bunker had been raked. Every bunker was filled with standing water, a soupy mess, or full of ravines from rain the night before. The course did not meet the expectations of a country club experience that the “Patriarch of Public Golf”, Joe Jemsek aspired to achieve, nor that of being ranked 53 on the 100 greatest Public Golf Courses.
The attached pictures were taken on the 18th green around 1:30 after we teed off at 7:50am. How did these go untouched at a course of this caliber?
