Been here a few times already but will definitely not be back at the current rates. 5+ hour round in 100 degree weather with no enforcement of pace which comes with a price of $94. It was not a spectacular round to say the least. The group ahead of us could barely reach the fairway off the tee box and they use a range finder for every shot??!! The carts come with GPS you fools!! Although they will not be as accurate, does it make that much of a difference if you cant hit past 150yds?? Rangers should be doing their job and ask if theres anything they could do to help if youre charging these rates!! Must we complain to get you to focus on your patrons?

Anywho, was once one of my favorite courses because the greens are usually well maintained and quick but if its going to take me 15 minutes per hole waiting at the tee box and fairway, id rather leave this course off my list. I dont mind paying higher rates but that should be complimented by epic experiences. 5+ hour rounds should be reserved for forest preserve courses.

Shame on you Makray for a horribly over priced round today along with an ancient card reader that took nearly 5 minutes to pay for a couple beers; i was afraid it would take as long and chose not to drink more. I still tipped because its the polite thing to do. What have you done in the 23rd to go above and beyond for your patrons in the blistering 100 degree heat?????

Great course all around. Played the whites because my buddies were beginners so didnt use the full course. Greens rolled real nice and fairways were consistent. Would play again whenever i have time to make the hour long trip.

Honestly do not understand the fuss about slow play. Maybe there were outings or leagues going on during your round.

Anywho, had a Noon tee time for a twosome and shot off the 1st the tee at 11:50AM, ten minutes ahead of schedule and was back in the car at 3:30PM (we did cheat and play few extra holes in between since we were way ahead of schedule and still managed to finish before 3:30PM) Greens were consistently 6.5/10 for speed of greens with 10 being the quickest (makray memorial would be a 8.5 on a good day in my books which is plenty fast enough for me and most others). Also don't blame the course for losing/searching for your balls and building your 5hr+ round. There really aren't many hazards that came into play as I only hit one bunker the entire round never got wet.

Overall great course and will be back with a foursome because its such a quick course. With the pace of play being so quick, no one should be hammered by the end of the round haha

Everything played well with the exception of two things..
Asked if there was a beverage cart and was told "yes" but did not see it the entire round only to discover it parked in front after we finished our 85 degree round.
Obviously they cant enforce repairing ball marks throughout the entire day so I took it upon myself to take care of a handful every green. They ran pretty true, decently quick and consistent the entire round. Great job!

Other than that, great track. Never had a beer in the bar so not sure what its made of.
