The course layout is difficult but also unique. Lots of water and i think every hole has at least on side OB. Green were very quick. Lots of slope on the greens too. If you are above the hole, its trouble. Staff were really nice and professional. Bunkers were mud, but that is typical for midwest courses.

My group was excited to get out and play this course for the first time. Unfortunately due to the knee high rough only yards off the fairways, we will not return. Not only is the layout difficult to begin with, most fairways are about 30 yards wide off the tee, but also the conditions were US open setup. Lost balls hit only a few yards off the fairway resulted in some frustrated golfers. I did enjoy the large greens that rolled true. However its shame the management couldnt get a decent maintenance staff to cut the grass before the first 4somes golf weekend in Illinois. I saw one mower the entire 18.

Fairways are literally mud. The only good part of this course was the greens were challenging and rolling good. Staff was super rude. I think one angry dude runs the show there. about a 1 hour drive from Chicago

Only downside about this course is the bunkers are in need of more sand and serious maintenance. And there are a lot of bunkers here to battle! ... Green, fairways, and tee boxes were in great shape ... Pace of play for a Saturday morning was good ... i enjoy the layout here. Its tight off the tee with water in play on 15 of the 18 holes.

I always enjoy playing here. The conditions are always very nice (lush fairways, fast greens). The layout is links style with very few trees on the course. Most holes you can use the driver and get away with it. Some short par 4s (#2) and some long par 4s (#16). Pace of play was average for a Sat morning (finished in 4 hr 30min). Its usually a windy track considering the open plains environment.

They really need to redo the cart paths. Currently just mud and gravel.

West is tougher than East. West plays longer and i think has tighter fairways.

Greens were rolling well. Rough was very short. Fairways were a bit muddy from a wet week of rain.

i thought the conditions could have been better. Fairways were beat up in lots of areas. Rough was often dead/mud patches.

greens were rolling fast.

The layout here has lots of doglegs. Need to be able to work the ball both ways off the tee here to score well.

for 55$ the price was about right. If they improved course conditions, they could get away with 75$ easy.

18 holes took 5.5 hours. Played on a Saturday afternoon. Course layout might contribute the slow play. Back to Back par 5s and Back to Back par 3s.

Conditions were very nice. Lots of pot and greenside bunkers to deal with. Overall i would return, but hope the pace of play is much better.

Played here on a Hot and Windy Saturday afternoon. Pace of play was decent until we caught up to a really slow foursome. Looked like one guy specifically was dragging the entire group to a slow pace. Front 9 = 2 hours , back 9 = 3 hours.

Fairways at Hilldale are very tight. The widest fairway is #1 and it only gets tighter from there out. Specifically #18 is maybe the tightest fairway on the course or the tightest fairway in the area. Greens are smallish in size, however roll true and fast. Its kinda what this course is known for.

The value is good here after Noon time, however just be prepared to play some target golf. You cant get away with bombing it sideways here as there is not a lot of fairway to work with.

Played here on a very early weekend morning. The staff was very attentive and generous. This course is unique and challenging. A fair and true test of your golf skills. The front 9 is a little easier than the back 9. Back 9 has lots of water in play, almost every hole on the back has water. Conditions were perfect from tee to green. Super fast greens too which i love to roll the rock on. Rate can be a bit pricey at times. If they brought their rates down a bit i would play here all the time.

Harborside has two excellent courses within 30mins from downtown Chicago. When there is no traffic it takes only 20mins.

Both are links courses with lots of bunkers. Water only comes into play on the holes 16/17/18 of each course, but the layout is very challenging and plays long from start to finish. Course conditions here are always excellent and greens run true and fast.

The practice facility is top notch.

This course stays open year round when possible, so i found myself here on a 68 degree February day in Chicago. Course itself was in okay conditions considering the time of year. I've played this course multiple times and to their credit, they keep the course in good condition year round.

The first 2 holes might be the toughest on the course. Especially no2 plays long with water all the way down the right EDGE! Good mix of long and short part 4s. Fairways are tree lined. The longest par 3 on the card is 180.

Schaumburg GC is one of the best "park courses" in the West Chicago Suburbs. They have 3 9's which helps keep the course interesting. The par 5s need a couple long hits to reach in two. Good mix of Short par 4's and Long Par 4's. Conditions are always pretty good from tee to green. The greens can be very fast during the hot summer months. Overall this course is super solid and i do play it consistently

I found this course to be rather enjoyable. The fairways are wide open from the tee. However the most difficult shots would be approaches into heavily bunkered and water hazard greens. Greens were rolling true.

Pace of play started good then got slow as the round proceeded. Played on a Tuesday afternoon and finished the front 9 in 2 hours and the back 9 in 2 hours 45 min.

Overall i would be back as the course has good value.

Played here on a unusually warm December Saturday morning. Pro shop was very accommodating and the manager is very nice gentleman.

For December, the course was in great shape with greens rolling true. My first time playing this course and i thought they layout was friendly and enjoyable. Not a long course yardage wise from the Tips, however some long par 3s will make the scoring difficult.

Saw a beautiful eagle perched on the tee box sign of 18 coming home. Overall i am looking forward to returning next season.

Played here early on a weekday afternoon. Our twosome finished in 3 hrs 15 min. Started with Canyon then to Lakes. Sunrise was closed due to overseed.

Canyon has just returned from overseed and in excellent conditions. This 9 is also a bit easier with wide fairways and large greens.

Lakes had yet to begin their overseed process and the fairways were a bit beat. Lakes is also a tougher 9 with more water in play and trickier tee shots to hit.

Played here on a Sat afternoon. Course was busy however we teed off at our exact scheduled tee time. Only problem was the round rook 5hrs 15min. Very slow play. Course layout might contribute to this slow down as the second hole is a long par 3 over water causing 2 or 3 groups backup.

Conditions were excellent from tee to green. Greens rolled fast and true. The practice green is very slow compared to the actual greens on the course.

Hot dog at the turn was delish thanks to a quality condiments bar.

Played here on a Fri Afternoon and the round took about 5 hours. Booked a Hot Deal for a great rate.

Holes 3, 4, 5 and 6 all have severe dog legs that make the tee shot critical. Front 9 plays more difficult then back 9 due to tighter fairways and dog legs.

The greens here are true, yet very difficult to putt because the greens are severely sloped and undulating. Some Pin locations are just unfair to be honest ...

George Dunne is a really enjoyable and entertaining course to play. Each hole is unique and has its own character. Expect to see tons of wildlife as this course weaves in and out of a lush forest preserve area.

Only downside is they pack em in like sardines here. With my 115pm tee time on a Friday, we were delayed to a 2pm start. Then the round took a 5 hour 45 min pace. Really quite unacceptable.

This course is a treat to play, but beware this round wil take an extra few hours out of your day ...

Played here on a Saturday at Noon. The drive from Chicago only took 30mins.

The course conditions were excellent from tee to green. The opening 6 holes are very difficult due to water harards and tight fairways. There is a real mix of wide open fairways and very narrow fairways.

The first 9 holes took 3 hours and the back 9 holes was 2 hrs 30min. So the only downside was a 5.5 hour round. The food and drinks are priced generously.
