The good:
I will start off saying this is probably the best property for a golf course in the Chicago area. It has tons of elevation changes that you just don't see often in the Midwest. The routing takes full advantage of them with a variety of downhill and uphill shots. The grill had very good food and the beers were pretty cheap.

The bad:
Unfortunately the conditions were not what you'd expect from a $70 round. The bunkers ranged from decent to unplayable. Hole 18 literally doesn't have a fairway. The entire landing area is "ground under repair" with wet, knee high grass everywhere. I've never seen a hole in such horrible condition in my life. They should just close the hole completely and discount the rate. Also our afternoon round on a Sunday took 5.5 from our initial tee time. We didn't tee off until 20 minutes after our scheduled time and waited on almost every shot. They could've uses a ranger to speed up play.

Overall it's a fun course to play and different than anything you'd find in the area. With some TLC this could be a very nice course.
