The course is not a venue for the visitor golfer, only locals that live around this course. Go elsewhere as the conditions are poor, especially some greens (told by a local they get worse because not much maintenance or watering of greens, and definitely not much not fairways with sparse grass). See you never again...Photos are of 10 which we sent as a joke to a couple that warned us not to play here - not all nearly as bad though! Play and enjoy the golf you have!

Don't let the trailer clubhouse and sand parking lot fool you. This is a good golf course that gets better as you play it with many varying holes and lengths, and challenges. Some areas are a bit rough, and certainly not any different than others in February. If there were water everywhere it's designed to be on the front none, this course would be very impressive, but even as is it was a joy to play. I would definitely play it again and tell others to also.

We were a twosome sandwiched between foursomes, The starter told us it would be slow and it was, as we waited on every shot. After more than two hours while waiting on the ninth tee for the fairway to clear, the course ranger approached us and very rudely yelled we were holding up the whole course. This guy was the rudest and most stupid person I've experienced in more than 30 years of golf. I complained in the pro shop and the guy behind the counter seemed disinterested in hearing anything, so we decided not to shop the pro shop (which we have done several times) or go into the restaurant which we had planned to do.

The course has a good layout and would be a challenge for any golfer from multiple tees. Bunkers are sadly neglected, many with no rakes, but not much sand anyhow. The greens were in very nice condition, many large, but a bit slow. Pace of play was 5+ hours and a wait on every shot; counter man sent everybody out as they walked in and back-ups with 4 groups per hole ensued.

The course layout has many different holes with excellent (some exceptional) greens. The cart paths are very deteriorated in places and the bathrooms very poor. Not a place to hang after golf, just enjoy the course. Carts are average but acceptable. Overall we will play again because we liked the course and the couple we played with who are members.

I would not recommend this course and don't plan to return. Very simple layout and course conditions were mostly poor. Very slow play, but staff members were all very nice and helpful.

We enjoyed the course as it had plenty of sand, water, excellent greens, and no "repeat" holes. We met CEO Linden Wilcox and enjoyed his company, and hope the course is very successful. We very definitely will play here many more times. My wife loved the clothes in the pro shop BTW...

With the updated back nine, the course provides a formidable challenge with steep undulating fairways & great greens with many breaks. Choose club selection wisely as many holes require more carry than advertised. Nice fairways, greens & overall fall condition - hats off to the staff for great October golf. Nice morning pro shop staff as well...Definitely a good day for golf for us!

The course was in horrible condition. Everything was unmowed, greens were barren of grass such that a ball jumped and could not roll properly. Cart paths are long over due for maintenance. We quit after 9 holes because the conditions were so bad. Build houses on this tract!

I've always liked the layout but the course has deteriorated in most every respect over the last several years. Tees were rough, missing grass, and some unmowed. Some fairways has lots of bare spots. Greens were in fair to poor condition and most traps were rocky and needed sand. The changes to 10 & 11 are good, but work on both is incomplete. Lots of trash on the ground around garage cans & the main bath had a unflushed toilet mess all day. I wouldn't rush back to play this course with so many other better courses in the north suburbs.

Although the greens were a little slow from heavy rains, the balance of the course was in great shape. Geese dung on some greens was unappealing (17 Lakeside, 18), not something unusual. Rough was fair height so no big penalty for being off fairways. Some traps washed out in need of maintenance (14),

I would never recommend playing this course, even if it's free. The older starter was very rude and bothersome.. Hole after hole is nearly the same with mostly no traps,, greens with little definition & some with dead grass. Pace was quite slow. Some golfers dressed like they were ready to mow the lawn - sleeveless tee shirts were not uncommon. Don't waste time or money on this place definitely not worth it.

We got behind a Tuesday league championship from Ft. Cherry GC; very slow & became even slower. Quit on 14th hole after >4 hours, beer cans left on tees, group gatherings on greens & US Open putting taking seemingly forever to complete. We never finished 14 after 30 minutes on the tee & fairway. The course had no one out as the marshall to keep pace moving for those outside the event. The course was however in very nice shape with very good greens; some tees dried out, but to be expected with fall maintenance/sand etc.

Nice course, played north & east. Pete the starter & pro shop staff very nice, as was food stand. Greens very slow - a big distraction, and traps very rocky. Travel to hole to hole somewhat confusing - need more signage. Lot's of diversity & character in the holes with huge greens, but long distance from cart path to green. Ball washers are in unusual places. Even with that, we would definitely recommend it without hesitation; buy guide if you never played it will make it easier to plan shots.

We liked the course although there were a number of holes where you had to have played it before to know where to hit it. 12 is a nice & challenging elevated tee to a small green with a lake in front. 16 & 17 are excellent lay-outs. It's remote, but easy to get to. Would definitely play it again.

The golf carts were filthy, probably because most of the cart paths are in rugged poor condition. The course backed-up on the 4th hole. No ranger was noted. We quit after reaching the 10th tee and realizing a group that was 3 ahead of us was just arriving to play the back nine. The tees, and greens were OK, but some fairways were pretty rough and barren. We won't play here again.

The ranger needs to do a better job with allowing large groups (5-6) & slow play. Fairways & tees needed mowed, and many holes had no tee markers or directives to the next tee. Good greens that were moderately fast and rolled true. I doubt that I would play again.

It's out in the country, but isn't a "country club". Extremely slow play; we gave up after 16 holes. Will never play it again as it's at best a municipal course and not worth the drive.

We got behind a very slow group and we and other groups stacked up. The group behind us notified the staff but to my knowledge nothing was done. We skipped the 12th hole or the round would have been 6+ hours.
