I played Oakbrook last week with my wife and another couple. It was fairly busy and I was shocked that we got around in 4 hours and 10 minutes. The greens were amazing. My guess is they were close to 12 on the stimp and very smooth - fun to putt.
The renovations they did 18 months ago are starting to pay nice dividends.
If you looking for a great value - I highly recommend Oakbrook golf club. Might be the best public greens I've putted in the state.

I took my kids and a friend out to McCormick Woods last week and I was amazed at the condition of the turf from tee to green. The fairways were lush, greens were very smooth and probably 10+ on the speed meter - perfect for rolling putts, really fun to putt for me and my kids!!
The staff was very friendly. Even the course maintenance workers stopped and greeted us and asked if we were enjoying ourselves!!! My daughter left her wedge on one of the holes and the superintendent, Paul, stopped what he was doing and drove back to get it for us!!! He told me about the renovations they've gone through with strategic tree removal and how it's improved the turf conditions. Very friendly, I was glad he took time from his work to make us feel welcomed.
Sherry in the golf shop was also very friendly and helpful. Great customer service!!
We saw at least a dozen deer. Had a great meal in the restaurant after (highly recommend the mac n cheese!!). What a great deal for kids, too! They have a good junior rate!
It was a great walk - we are adding this to our list of regular stops!!

I just had a blast playing Oakbrook.
We played 18 holes in under 4 hours on a Saturday morning - the greens were smooth and quick! The clean up from the course renovation is nearly complete and the benefits from more air flow and sunlight are obvious! I can't wait to play again and I'm thinking about becoming a member!
