Countryside Golf Club - Traditional Course
Played On 05/08/2017Good Value and Nice Conditions
We played the Traditional course mid-morning during the week. Crowds were sparse so pace of play was great.
Most holes you can spray the driver a little bit with space to recover. There are a few shorter par 4's that demand accuracy off the tee.
There are a few straight holes without a lot of character. Some elevation changes keep things interesting, especially on the back. The balance of holes on the front and back is somewhat unique (37-35 with 3 par 5's on the front, including two back-to-back). Nice collection of par 3's.
I was impressed with the overall conditions of the course. Greens were firm and rolled true. Rough wasn't very thick so not terribly penal. 18 appeared to be undergoing some bunker renovations.
Favorite Hole: 15 - short par 3 with trouble long and two pot bunkers guarding the front of the green.
I definitely recommend this course. It's a good value compared to some tracks around the Chicagoland area. I would play here more often if I lived closer.
