I loved this course! Many doglegs and "hidden" undulations make for a fun and challenging outing. The course plays fair with virtually all greens heavily protected by sand. Altogether a fun layout and experience. I will return at first opportunity. Excellent deal through GolfNow.

6,000 yards, plays very easy. Great for beginners and intermediate players who want a fast round. Almost impossible to lose a ball. Very low rough and straightforward layout. Only took 4 hrs because I played on popular Friday where they run many specials with a 4some, otherwise 3 hrs easy.

Easy straight ahead course with no frills. Good for working out swing issues with a nice short to moderate walk. Golf Now Hot Deal $6 is an excellent WALKING rate.

Priced with courses typically 500+ yards longer. Interesting elevation changes countered by too many blind shots. Allows recovery from almost anywhere. Back nine a little too open and plays much (a little too much) easier.
For the same money I'll take Highland Woods.

The 9 hole Players Course is too easy and the round went by too fast (1hr 40mins) even with a 4some. I felt I was just warming up and it was over. Even with the GolfNow discount ($17) I felt I could have found a better deal. I left feeling unsatisfied.
The 9 hole Baers Course is far more satisfying even though more expensive.

Rarely too crowded, pace of play is usually quite good. Slightly better than average pricing can get excellent through GolfNow. Playable for all ability levels but difficult enough to host McHenry County Amateur almost every year. Excellent draft drink prices!

Play was very slow, the 5,300 yds took 4 hrs to play. Costs as much as other courses that are longer and more challenging. Wont be going back
