I’m in Chicago for the summer, and have played a few of the local courses so far. This is my third time at Burnham Woods, and they have made every effort to make the course acomodable to players. The first couple times it was an alright course, but they had a few spots of weeds and growth that was just too long, and you were sure to lose a few balls. They’ve since manicured the entire course it seems. I’m a college student, and shoot in the nineties, so if you’re looking for PGA level amenities you won’t get that. However, if you are looking to play a nice round without a hitch that’s easy on the wallet, can’t recommend a better place. The rough has been cleaned up FAR better than any other “value” course around here ($25-$35 for 18). No remarkable holes really, but you will be able to get just about every club in your bag out, with a couple 500+ yard par 5s. Friendly staff, no complaints there. If you’re looking for a relaxing round that challenges, but doesn’t frustrate you I would highly recommend this course.
