over seeding season

Course was nice. Had some challenging shots but overall open good course. Unfortunately it was over seeding time so cart path only, that makes for a longer game and slow pace of play. The greens were also fertilized so it was like putting on rock salt. Rain will take care of that. I will go back again but, make sure it's not seeding time.

good golfing

Started on a sour note with the cart dying and the young man talking down to me like I don't know how to use a golf cart, but after that it went fine. Oh wait, then guys just go tee off out of 8rder, but after that it was good. A nice pace, nice greens w/med speed. Fairways were a bit challenging but that's good. Under a lil construction but that's good also. Sand traps suck, pebbles and water filled, saw mounds of sand but not in the traps. Other wise it's a good course.

nice course

Staff was nice and friendly. We had to wait for the lightening all clear signal so we went in to have a bite to eat, food was good, went with the young ladies recommendations, turkey club and wings. All good. Chili dog was ok.
Course was nice, unfortunately it just rained and continued as we golfed. Overall it was a good course with fast greens, ez layout, some water, nothing too bad.
Definitely go back to this course.

Fairway obstacles

This course is not the St Andrews I started my golfing career on. It asked me if I would recommend this to a friend they did not have a maybe button. Of course had clumps of grass, sticks, all over the fairways 16 out of 18. This was the Jemsik course. Sand traps had tire marks going through them. And yes I know if I didn't hit in the sand trap I wouldn't worry about it but if I hit an a fairway I would have to worry about sticks and clumps of grass so it doesn't matter. Several times the ball would hit a stick in the fairway or a clump of grass and keep it from rolling or kick it to the side. The starter was telling me that there's a group behind us we have to get moving and I understand that but he was telling me as I was on the tee getting ready to hit my ball. I've left a review month or so back and I think it got worse. Definitely hate to bash this course because it is a good course but you have to get better and when people leave reviews you have to take those reviews into into consideration and make those changes. I do have pictures but for some reason this won't let me upload them so I will have to put this on Yelp and upload the pictures there.

Weeds and Grass

Nice course. Very helpful and friendly staff. I didn't want to bring my clubs with on this trip so I rented clubs. Unfortunately I didn't look at what I was renting. I think because all the other rentals at other courses were great. These not so great. All hibrids, I never hit hibrids, so I used the driver, putter, and PW. I used my buddies clubs for in between shots. So clubs sucked in my opinion. I could have paid $45 for the better clubs or they could have just had better choice of clubs.
Course was nice, water everywhere. Challenging. Fairways were a mix of grass and weeds, so your ball sometimes still moves as your hitting it. Greens were nice. Fast. Fairways had a lot of roll. Overall not a horrible course.

Fighting coyotes as sun goes down

First time playing at this course, it was enjoyable, a little rough on the greens and fairways, slow pace of play but a beautiful day overall so everyone trying to get some holes in. We were one of the last groups on the course, and the sun disappeared around hole 17. When that starts the coyotes come out for scraps. No bother with them at all. Staff was great, friendly and helpful. I gave them a 3 star on course because I golfed min15 rounds in a month and they were better overall conditions. That's not saying I didn't enjoy the challenge and I will also be back. If I could give halves I would give 3.5

Challenging

Very nice course, several tough long par 5's and par 3's.
We got off to a tough start with a 45 min frost delay. I was a lone golfer and put into a group of 3 and had to share a cart, after we all got over that we had a great day of golf together. My only complaint, never saw anybody with a beverage cart and if you only have a certain amount of golf carts then don't book More golfers than carts.

Great condition

The course was in great condition. Tee's were fast but great shape. Fairways were very good. Couple blind spots but not a big deal if not crowded. I think the next hole signage should be more visible but I was able to find my way around. Leaves could be blown away from fairways and greens but mother nature gave me a great morning for golf so I can deal with it. I was the 3rd golfer out so it was empty and pace of play was great. Overall really nice. I will be back.
Covid so can't give honest rating for amenities.

Nice course

Greeted by a not to friendly gentleman who took our money. I'm gonna chuck it up to a old grumpy guy, probably a great guy once you get past his miserable life story.
Course not clearly marked. Went from hole 1 to 9 to 4, and we didn't start drinking yet. We were not the only ones to do that so we felt vindicated in our home judgment. Other wise the course was not that bad. Hard to tell the difference between the fairway and the second and third cut but we managed. We had a cart girl which was perfect. That's not happening on too many golf courses. So overall I give it a three. Cannot judge the food because it was closed when we were leaving.

Nice course

I thought the layouts were nice, the rough a little thick and challenging the greens very fast and hard to read. It's not a negative. I think a few more times on the course the greens might be a little more readable and club selection will be a little more on target.
For sure a nice course. They actually had a cart girl out there very nice friendly and she made several trips so we didn't see her once and gone we saw her four or five times. I will definitely Be back.

Great greens

This course is challenging with water holes and homes along the fairways, but still a good course for mediocre players. We got a great deal with a Groupon with hot dog and chips for two people for $69.
Staff was very friendly, pace of play was wonderful, the greens were fast and very readable. Overall I have a great time at this course and highly recommended for the strong and mediocre players.

Great greens

Was met by a very friendly staffer in the clubhouse.
The cost of golf and cart was $17.76.
The course is in great shape, greens are beautiful.
Pace of play was great. Half way house was just opened and he took our order on hole 13 and was ready on the way back on hole 15. It's pricey golf on a regular day but you can get good discounts if you look.

Great greens

We were greeted by a friendly gentleman in the clubhouse that is her key and we were off to play in no time.
I would say the price of $27.50 for nine holes were a tad high in consideration with other golf courses in the area being a few dollars less but still not a bad price.
The carts were dried off and ready to go after a rainy night.
The greens we're in great condition along with the fairways especially with all the rain but it was not soggy good draining.
Pace of play was fantastic considering we got out there at 6:01 a.m. so needless to say we had nobody ahead of us.
For an older course and it course that is used in a lot four outings the keep it well maintained one of the best in the area.

Golfer friendly course.

For a Park District course this is a very well kept maintained Golf Course. The fairways were just wright, the greens could use a little help but as I said for a Park District kept course Very acceptable. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Nice course sand traps need help

The golf course was in decent condition, a couple of dry spots along the Fairway on several holes, overall compared to other courses with lack of rain not a bad course.
I would say the biggest problem on the course are the sand traps. The sand traps need a lot of help. I putted several balls towards the hole and they took a quick left or right turn because of a pebble from the sand traps. The sand traps are filled with rocks.
I had a good breakfast, the staff was friendly helpful and very pleasant.

Golfer friendly course.

We golfed after 3 days of rain 6am ger off. I cannot believe how drained the golf course was. I was expecting a muddy Waterfield Court with sand traps unplayable and I got the opposite. We were the first on the Corso pace-of-play was perfect. The golf assistant came by asked how everything was, the only complaint we had were the ball marks on the greens and he advised that he will have his guys look into that, and he also explained they have a lot of outings and playing best ball, most people just picked their ball up and don't fix there call Mark's. Good explanation.
