Enjoyable course design, conditions tee-to-green are very good. Staff, carts and amenities very good. That said: Areas of Concern.
1) Play is often slow and the etiquette is shallow. No rangers checking pace of play. Slower groups typically do not let a faster group or twosome play through.
2) By August the greens are carpet bombed with unrepaired ball marks.
3) Pin placements: On 1/3rd to 1/2 of greens on most days the pins are set in locations you'd see on a Sunday PGA event. Buried in corners, tucked in just over a sand trap. The superintendent is trying to protect the middle 75% of the greens from ball marks, and doing a good job of it. The problem, however, is most players can't shape shots or spin the ball close to the tucked away pin placements. This pin placement issue is the same at Springbrook.
All things considered Naperbrook can be an enjoyable round of golf, but be prepared for slow play, pock-marked greens and have your wedges dialed in tight to get anywhere near the pin placements.

Unique front and back 9 challenges. Thoroughly enjoy making the round. One nice fix would be replacing the worn out spike brushes on the course, and had a few more on both 9's. Other than that a gun track through the local countryside.
