Good layout, but course condition needs to improve

The course is fun and moderately challenging with risk-reward shot par 4s. The bunkers need sand and grooming. Tee boxes need repair, too. Fairways and greens are in decent shape, but public golfers wreak havoc by not repairing divots and pitch marks.

Hidden gem for public golfers

The classic Bendelow designed golf course reminds me of old school country clubs courses in Chicago. The course isn’t long by modern standards, but is challenging for all handicaps. It’s well maintained and balls are hard to lose in the rough and the small greens are easy to navigate without the country club speed. The hospitality staff are gracious and kind, too. The holes are within close proximity to each other, so don’t be afraid to yell FORE for the safety of others. It was a delightful surprise and I will be back to play again.

Best Value in Illinois

The course is well maintained, and the large greens have little slope but are quick. The golf and bar staff are friendly and courteous, but the course could use a ranger to keep people on pace.

Worth the drive

There are not too many golf affordable courses with excellent country club style conditions. The large greens are quick and a fair test for all akill levels. I've played the course a couple of times in the past month and benefited by scoring well in dry conditions. The driving range and putting green are great practice facility for before and after the round. Staff is friendly, modest food selection with good prices and replay rates are available for only $20.

Good condition and pace of play, but not a HOT DEAL

I played the Baer/Players course and enjoyed the short length, condition, and pace of play. I didn't realize the course length and walking-only fee until I arrived, so I may not play the course again. There are other quality courses closer to me for the same green fee + cart fee. It's not a HOT DEAL as promoted.

One of the best local courses

The course conditions and pace of play improved after a management change. More rakes are needed in some bunkers. Public courses need to ask golfers to fill divots, take bunkers and repair pitch marks.

Great Value

Course is challenging for all types of golfers. Some great holes with risk/reward challenges and elevation changes, which will demand some thought for club selection. Overall a great value for local area residents.
