Had to use up my rewards and always wanted to play here.

Men’s tournament was wrapping up on my tee time; had to wait with a free beer and golf balls at the range for 20? Minutes. Which was zero problem and got off with no one in front of us. Nice but windy day.

Not too difficult if you hit your driver straight and long. Very good condition for time of year.
Greens are taken care of with care obviously and NO water pooling like Willow Crest in Oak Brook in sand traps.

Totally enjoyable place and a course you can have lots of fun regardless of skill level.

I played back tees and tee boxes still perfect. Whites have normal divots for this time of year. No problem And very normal..

Will be back

Incredible everything.

Zero improvement possible.

Was impressed at every turn; I played on a gusty, wind blasting 52 degree 6am and I simply could not get imagine it playing any better(we have had tons of rain/bunkers still too wet to groom but still easy hitting from.

Kind of links style and kind of prairie style.

I played the absurd gold tees which were sometimes on other holes and it was all of 7000 yards and then some.

Monster tee shot would be followed up with a 5 wood or something close. Not too hard for a straight hitter that does some course planning: meaning don’t smash driver every hole.

Nice clubhouse and pro shop.

Overall 5 stars—occasionally you get some older golfers and it can get backed up, but why do you care? You should be focused on enjoying yourself like I did.

Challenging or not: a variety of tees to hit from—4,5 maybe?; I played the blues today with a couple who played the reds and really no problems.

Not sure where they get the employees, but they are all just great!

Fun course. Short course.

Challenging. I played in 35 mph winds today, other than that, it was good.

Saw some of the dire reviews of this course. It's true that had one species of grass die off (rye) in the fairways two months ago... Grounds crew has been hard at work because considerably repaired and near back to normal.

I read: will not recover for years---which isn't true. You could reseed an entire farm in a few months and they have changed grass type I believe.

Should be 100% within a few weeks.

Go out and play here. It's a fun course... But for now may need to move your ball to a nice lie for a little bit.

Staff is always cool with a great restaurant there too.

Course is pretty easy for an ok golfer but tricky for a 20 plus handicapper.

Course maintained well even though lots of play. Straight tee shots and not length are the key here to success on all holes really because it's not very long on any hole, even the par five holes can be reached in two.

Lots of water and well maintained sand. Course drains WAY BETTER than other areas courses so when it's rained, this is most likely to be able to drive a cart.

Today was wide open and finished +2 in one hour 18 minutes off the blue tees.

Course is in impossibly good shape for a municipal course: they do a great job considering lots of play there.

Staff was friendly. Electric cart.

Challenging for a municipal.
Greens good. Layout good.

Short course with great maintenance and super difficult greens.

I played with a course ranger so knew a lot of course tricks he shared but relatively easy layout: excellent condition and certainly the best municipal course in the area.

Oak Lawn Park district I believe.

Only. Par 65 and could be walked but not recommended.

I played a weekday morning: 3 hours 8 minutes; I shot a 74 with 40 putts—and I wasn’t that disappointed in the putting because the greens here are challenging and fun. That’s the most putts I have had in years—with a rare 4!!! Putt

Course has a patch disease that has killed lots of fairways: most of my approach shots were from bare dirt in the middle of the fairway.... You better hit your tee shots off those long grass tee shots into the fairway dirt because you won't likely find it in the rough: deep dark grass about 8 inches tall:
. They probably aren't mowing to prevent more disease spreading..

My wife lost a bunch of balls even after watching them land in the grass.

I would call first to the pro shop before heading out here because it can't look this bad forever

The pins were placed four feet from the edge on most greens probably placed there so they walk on the greens to spread more damage

Paid for 18 holes but left after 10: too slow.

I hit a duffer... On a bounce off the tee--he was hiding behind a fairway bunker 280 yards on a par five... That was the worst part of the round

A great practice area with mats only on weekdays.

Friendly staff but sometimes painfully slow pace: played as a single in 1 hour 3 minutes after an outing.

But usually, a long, slow 2.5+ hours with waits on every tee—that’s just nine holes.

Very well maintained for the amount of rounds played here. One of the top 3 nine hole courses in the area.

Lots of horrible duffers though..
