This course has it all. No two holes alike. Elevation changes. Easy holes, moderate holes, hard holes. Good conditioning. Not too tough of a walk. Great staff. Worth every penny.

Since the courses were all closed in Chicago, my younger son & I drove up to play the course. I've played several Foulis designed courses in the Chicago area, and was interested to see how Nippersink compared to some of them, ( Itasca CC. Bonnie Brook).. The front nine was good, but the back really showcased this 1922 Foulis gem. For April the course was in exceptional shape. We played in 4hrs walking (Played thru a 4some on #10).
On #18 we caught another 4some. While waiting for them to clear, I noticed a totem pole behind the tee box & went over to take a look. As I was standing there one of the grounds crew pulled up on his mower, shut it off & gave me a fascinating history of the course and the general area. THAT was impressive.
Good routing. Great green/bunker complexes, interesting greens, memorable holes, Great natural setting & overall land plan, exceptional, friendly staff.
Very Impressed.

A bit of a haul from Barrington, but worth the ride..Loved the layout. Course conditions great for this time of year. Staff was super friendly & knowledgeable. I'll be back.

Played on July 4th weekend so green fee was a little pricey & play was slow, (But not brutal)...I get all that.
Never saw a ranger trying to speed up play..don't get that. Course is really a gem layout & condition wise. Plays a little easier than posted yardage & slope so don't be intimidated..I will definitely be back with buddies in tow..for a weekday round.
