In the over 200 rounds I have played the last 3 years I have never wrote a negative review about a course. Overall this is a decent public course. It was beat up, but It is well designed and offers a decent amount of obstacles for a clever round.
Here is my beef. I arrived for my noon tee time an hour early. The course was not busy by any means. I went to check in and was told to come back in 55 mins. I asked “Any chance I could go early?” And was told “Absolutely not, You have a good rate, you have to pay more to go earlier.” Okay I proceeded to the putting green and watched. In over 35 minutes zero people tee’d off. I’m a reasonable person, it was a Tuesday afternoon, not a weekend round, and I was by myself. The course wasn’t busy. We have a ton of options to choose from in the Chicagoland area. Why not just let someone go early to improve the customer experience and speed up the round.
An hour later, I ended up getting paired up with 3 other singles, 2 senior men and a senior woman. I typically play from the tips. They were fine playing with, but It just didn’t make sense. That being said I will avoid this course in the future simply to not have another interaction with the unfriendly pro shop employee.
