I am from Chicago where they just had 12" of snow, and the temperature is 4 degrees, so any golf for me on February 3rd. Is GREAT! I am not a real good golfer so this was a fun course for me. I haven't done it but you can play at night here, supposedly well lit up at night. Try it, you'll like it!

I'm from Chicago, any round of golf in January is terrific. I enjoy playing this course. I'm not a very good golfer. Nice course for the money.

I heard that the village of Homer Glen purchased this property, and is going to close the golf course. That would be such a shame. When was the last time a golf course has been built in Illinois? And there will probably NEVER be another built the way things are going. The Chinese are buying golf courses all over the world right now, sell the course to them, take your profits and buy land somewhere else to built your municipal buildings. I'm sure there would be a large profit, and there is plenty of vacant land in that area. Had to get that off my chest.
Anyway, this is a very nice golf course, well cared for, the staff is very nice. The only problem I had, because this was my first time here was finding the next hole. There should be some signs or something. Homer Glen residents should definitely strike up a fuss about closing this golf course, it is a real asset to their community.

I golfed the day after a terrible amount of rain the evening before so it was cart path only. After getting out on the course the cart path only was truly justified. Of course not as enjoyable, but I had a good time. Considering the awful winter we had, and the storm the evening before, the course is in pretty good shape. Quite a few dead trees, as on just about any other course. I will definitely play here more before the season is over.

This is a nice course, staff is friendly, I enjoyed my round, BUT! As usual I arrived at the course about 30 minutes before my booked tee time. I have never played this course before, so by the time I got my clubs out of the car, and checked in at the pro shop, it was about 20 minutes before my booked tee time. The gentleman who checked me in said I would have to wait till my booked tee time to tee off, which was fine with me. I went outside and sat on a bench, and saw two people teeing off. Then a man came in and checked in after me, and immediately teed off, which was fine with me. Then after I sat there on the bench and watched him proceed with his round. I sat there for about 10 minutes and no one else was there to golf, so I went back into the pro shop and asked the gentleman if I could go tee off. He said NOPE, because I booked my tee time through GOLFNOW, I would have to wait until it was my scheduled tee time. I asked why, and he said that's their policy for people who book through GOLFNOW. So I went back to the outside bench, and sat in the penalty box for another 10 minutes, during which time not a single person had teed off. Doesn't make much sense to me ? ? ? ? ?

Good course, would play again, BUT. I arrived about 30 minutes before my tee time as I usually do. By the times I got my clubs out of the car, walked into the pro shop, and checked in, the time was still about 20 minutes before my booked tee time. The gentleman in the pro shop told me I would have to wait to tee off until my booked time. There were two people teeing off at that time. Then another man came, checked in, and went and teed off, and then no one was there after that. I waited a while and then asked the gentleman if I could tee off, and he said, NO, I would have to wait till my booked tee time. I asked why was that, and he said it was because I booked my tee time on GOLFNOW. So I sad in the penalty box for 15 minutes, and not a one person teed off during that time. I was told that is their policy with people who book tee times through GOLFNOW.
IS THAT WEIRD OR WHAT? ? ? ? ?

The weather here has been awful in this area for over six months now, and taking that into consideration this course was in good shape.

After this season this course will be gone. The Oak Meadows Golf Course which adjoins this 9 hole course is going to be totally redone next year and the land this course is on will be incorporated into the new Oak Meadows.

The course was challenging for me who is not a great golfer. There are a lot of hills on this course which makes you on several occasions shooting in the blind, and making it difficult to sometimes find your ball because you really don't see where it lands. I was disappointed that none of the water containers had any water in them, and none of the ball washers had any liquid in them. I also did not see any toilets on the course.

I live in Wood Dale and feel very fortunate to have this wonderful course in my back yard. It is a fun course, and you have the option of playing a quick 9 holes or the full 18. The entire staff here is GREAT!
