SteepleChase review

A great variety of holes; mid iron to hybrid for par3’s, Par4’s have both length and accuracy holes, not just for long hitters. 3of the 4 par5 were 3 shotters , all with different dogleg directions. Course is kinda wide open off the tee, but the green complexes are challenging and very fair. Only issues was the fertilizer on greens with aerated greens and wet conditions really will try your patience. Staff was nice and friendly and favorite hole was 10, very picturesque.

OMG

Got a nice deal on GN; as a single, when I got theee they told me I was paying alone behind 2 twosomes. I played thru one of them, the other was jumping holes. Passed through another 4some before playing the last 6 behind a threesome that was insistent that wasn’t passing them even tho there were 3 open holes in front. Hard to play a nice round with this chaos , will be a long time til I go back, another case of a course losing control of their course

Hello Jim, thank you for the three-star review. We are sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience out there the other day. While we try to keep pace of play consistent, we cannot control everything, so we apologize that this led to an unsatisfactory experience.

Quality golf

Nothing but good things about traditional course; booked through GolfNow but they allowed me to walk at the walking rate

Great old fashioned course; in great condition; challenging for a 7 handicap

Course operators couldn't be more accommodating and gracious

I live 30 miles from course; but play CW 5 times a year and always enjoy.

Good course to keep in your own rota

Deerfield review

on a windy September day in Chicago, deerfield was in wonderful shape. greens, fairways and tee-boxes were far superior than other local munis. sand traps also have been very much improved. Overall, the experience was great and played with another single who was of equal skill to myself.

Also with the money saved through GolfNow was able to buy a shirt in pro shop at 30 % off

Course is in good shape
Little wet after a heavy rain the day prior
Played thru a few groups as a single but last foursome was intent on being in front of me

Good course overall; links style which is cool
Would definitely recommend to play 2-3 a year

Old Orchard

Very cold day; staff was somewhat unfriendly; barely said hello.
Course is short but fairways are hard to hit and then greens are hard to hit.
Course was in decent shape; greens run true; bunkers could use some work.
For a GolfNow HotDeal, it was worth it.

Schaumburg Player/Baer review

Had a 10:20 tee-time and was able to tee-off at 10:10 and finish at 12:50 walking. Pace was great; course was beautiful. Tees, fairways, greens and bunkers were in great shape not mentioning it was April. Staff was great and encouraged me to either go alone or play with the twosome behind, my choice.

Can't say enough about what a great value this golf course was through the great deal from GolfNow; will play there again and book through GolfNow

Bloomingdale Review

Old school course
Small tee boxes, small greens
Course in good shape
Not overly long but each hole has its challenges
Recommended for friendly Sunday round
Staff is more than accommodating
Try to play a couple times a season; especially when GolfNow offers specials
