Good value overall, just a very slow round

Nice course, especially for the price and being a park district course. No range, so you can’t really warm up aside from a very small green that’s used for chipping and putting. It’s pretty short, but the course has a good layout for its length and was in great condition, particularly for how dry it’s been recently. Nice staff too. The pace was really slow and while there were rangers, it didn’t seem to make a difference… about 4 1/2 hours to finish. Obviously you’ll get a lot of new players at tracks like this, so just plan accordingly. Solid overall though and would play it again.

Solid track, very slow pace

Ruffled Feathers is a nice course and the staff was friendly. That said, there are some minor things they could address to make it a dramatically better experience. As others here have mentioned, the pace of play was really poor. We ended up playing a 5 hour round and were waiting on the group in front of us every hole. We didn’t see a Marshall the entire round and it seems to be a consistent problem based on what others have shared. There was only 1 beverage cart in service too, so we saw her twice in 5 hours.

The course was in pretty good shape, aside from the bunkers being borderline unplayable. It’s a decent place to play, but they really should take care of those minor issues, especially given the premium price.

Solid course, a few minor improvements could help a lot

Good course overall with a nice layout… Fun for all levels. The staff was very friendly, but the ranger didn’t enforce a reasonable pace of play. Also, the halfway house and facilities were inexplicably closed.

Ok course, but way overpriced

The course itself is fine and was in good enough shape, but you can play way nicer courses for less money. Everything except the actual course is way below average… most of the on course restrooms are either closed or falling apart, the pace of play was very slow, we saw the beverage cart 1 time in a 5+ hour round and several other things made it a very underwhelming experience. Despite the steep cost to play, the course is getting worse every year, as are the facilities. Skip it.

Great course and in excellent shape... just needs a driving range!

Chevy is a great course and a very good value for the price. The staff is friendly, and course is in nice shape, and it's a solid challenge for every level of player. The biggest drawback is certainly the lack of a range and it seems crazy that a course that size in the suburbs hasn't found a way to let players warm up, but if you can get loose somewhere else and play there, it's a fantastic spot.

Hidden gem

Very nice track with that “classic course” kind of feel. Good layout and despite not being super long in total yards, offers a strong challenge with tight fairways, some long holes, and utilizing the landscape well. The greens are subtle and roll nicely. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better value for the price in the Chicagoland area too. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Mediocre

Underwhelming course overall. The staff was friendly and it was in decent condition for the most part, but the greens were extremely slow. The layout is pretty bad… almost every par 4 is around 320 yards with minimal variety. All of the holes are really close to each other too, so you end up dodging the shots of other groups constantly. There’s also no driving range. With so many great courses in the area, skip this one.

Great layout and the course was in good shape overall. There was a lot of sand on the greens and a few places under repair, which were my only complaints. Very friendly staff and would definitely recommend!

Unusually poor course condition

I’ve played here several times before and usually really enjoy it, but the course is in pretty bad shape right now. Many of the fairways have a lot of grooves / cut marks throughout, so they may be doing some sort of repairs or something. The staff is always top notch and typically this is a great course for the price, but I don’t think I’ll play it again this year.

Good course, especially for the money... range is closed though

Nice course with a good layout and in pretty good shape. It was certainly disappointing to get there an hour before our tee time and find out the range is closed for the season. It seems strange to close it in the peak of the golf season in particular, but everything else was a good experience.

Nice course and excellent value!

The course was in very good condition, particularly the greens. The layout has nice variety and is a challenge for all levels of player. There are a lot of trees in play, so errant shots are penalized and you can lose a lot of golf balls on a bad day, but good shots are rewarded and it never seemed too daunting or unfair. We weren’t able to utilize it, but there is a nice driving range too. It’s a fantastic value for the price and I will definitely be back!

Everything is in excellent condition, especially given the cold and rainy weather we’ve had recently. The employees were friendly and helpful too.
