This isn’t the first time we’ve played Hughes, but it provides a significant challenge on the long par 4’s and a short par 4 by way of a creek. We generally play fast and today didn’t disappoint despite numerous rain events during the round. We ended up finishing in around 3 hours and 35 minutes.

It was a nice way to get the weekend started.

The course plays pretty much as it looks, but typically with the links style setup, the wind plays a much bigger part at GCI. For the first 14 holes it was pretty calm which made for a pleasant day. The course was busy, a drink cart was supposed to be going (but never was seen) and with the compact layout you might come across other players, but it worked out great. Pretty standard pricing for 18 holes in the area. It was a good time.

This is the third time I’ve played at Wolf Hollow and it rarely disappoints. Playing on a holiday weekend poses it’s own issues and even with paying to play 18 with a cart, it was even cheaper than other 9 hole courses. We ended up playing 9 holes with a moderately slow Memorial Day weekend pace. It wasn’t unexpected, I plan on coming back sooner than later on a more player friendly occasion.

Overall we had a good time, but due to pace of play with the foursome ahead of us, it could have been better.

We were looking for a different place to play a quick Friday afternoon nine and this was one of the shortlisted options.

I’d go back for sure.

The course was in pretty good condition on a very sunny, 90 degree day. So the turnout at the course was pretty substantial. The course played well. I'm usually a very fast paced golfer, so 4 1/4 hours for me seems like an eternity. Otherwise, the service cart was understocked, but the staff was rather friendly. I would recommend this course to most golfers I know.

Always great facilities with great amenities before starting your round.

The only downfall this time around was a slow group ahead that was quite obviously a paired by the course group. 2 younger gentlemen drinking with 2 older non drinking gentlemen. Not a good mix.

But the venue did not disappoint as usual.

Booked the round for myself and a buddy for $26.50 and then found out that on Mondays after Labor Day the rate is $25 normally. I guess I donated $3 to the course. Nonetheless, the golf course was in great condition and the only problem throughout the day is that there was a group of 16 (4 foursomes) in front of us that we killing the time for us. Rolling the round in at about 5 hours. This is a good course, not too challenging, so knowing how long it took is what drove us crazy the whole time. All in all, don't let groups of more than 8 out if they don't have the ability to match a courses difficulty.

Played a couple of weekends ago with my old man, very difficult greens on certain holes and crazy layouts on others. The course is set next to DuPage Airport, so it kind of winds in and out of the area, then back into the woods for a group of holes.

Paid $61 while normally $99. Great deal for a good challenge.

This isn't the first nor the last time that I will hit around on this course. The staff is always very friendly and the course is in great condition. There is plenty of challenge coming from the overhanging trees and few water features. Forest preserve lines more than a couple of the holes. Challenging for some depending on your swing tendencies. When you get a chance, take a spin on this track.
