Covid Issue

I have been playing this course a few times a year for 30 years. Usually in pretty good shape, and a fair value. I booked a threesome on line, and paid on line. When i got to the course and checked in, I was told that we were paired up with a stranger. Normally, I have no issue with that. I was then told that if we wanted a separate cart, so we would not have to share a cart with a stranger, we would have to pay an additional $6. Mind you, I had to wear a mask to walk into the pro shop. I felt that was unreasonable at this time with the virus coming back. The course must feel that the situation is getting worse, hence the requirement for wearing a mask to walk into the club house. It's not the $6, its the point of how the message was delivered to me at 6 AM. Luckily, the single never showed up!

Nice track

Interesting selection of hole layouts. Fairly narrow course, water in play on several holes. Hit every club in the bag. Not long, but still challenging. Well worth playing, easy access off the tollway from anywhere.

Putting on the moon

I have been playing the course for over 30 years. I don't remember ever seeing more ball marks on the greens. We were the 3rd or 4th group out, and there were several "fresh" ball marks on every green. The course is a nice layout, always has been. Deep bunkers, well kept fairways and tee areas, and nice greens except the ball marks were so bad it was hard to put. Such a shame, as it only takes an extra second to repair your mark and one other. Perhaps they should flash reminder messages on the GPS screen when approaching the greens!

Great course in really good condition. A few ball marks on the greens were the only flaw in condition, but not too bad for a public course. Very pretty, unique holes. Well bunkered approach shots and some tough pin positions. You'll use every club in the bag and should try to come in from the correct side of the fairway to avoid some of those bunkers. It was a 45 minute drive, but well worth it.

Great Condition and a great price!

Sporty course in great condition. Smooth, fast greens, well bunkered. Fairways were smooth with few divots. You'll use every club in your bag and have a great time!

In "Private Course" condition

I play here all the time, it's in great shape. You will hit every club in your bag. Some very narrow tee shots, others wide open. Some short "birdie" holes, some very tough par 4's & par 5's. 3 great closing holes. 16 is a 420 yard dogleg over water, voted one of the toughest holes in Chicago. 17 is a short par 4, very tight off the tee, but can get back the stroke you either lost on 16 or will lose on 18. 18 is a brutal par 5 requiring 3 great shots.
My guests always like the course, the staff is very nice, and easy to get to right off route 41 / Edens Expressway!
