Slowest greens and fairways I have ever played

My experience was disappointing. I had heard good thing about the course and looking forward to playing it. After two holes I knew it was going to be a long day.
I have never experienced greens like this in my 40 years of playing golf. I don't know if a stimp meter would even register a 2.
The fairway was almost as bad. My friend commented he was concerned about a flyer lie from the middle of the fairway. The view from the tee box should have been my first clue as it is hard to distinguish the fairway from the rough on some holes.

I'll never gp back

Great value with Golf Now

The price of playing this course has crept up in the past few years ($71). It has been high enough that that we have stayed away and played other courses we feel are justified for similar prices. The hot deal for today at $51 was a great deal and well worth the price. The course was in great conditionand I have always loved putting on the greens.as they are very true.

I am sure to be back again as I try to play at least a couple times a year..

Settler's Revisited

I had not played this course since the mid 90's and I remember not liking it.
My opinion has changed after playing it recently. The layout is very nice and can get tight on a few holes. There are a lot of elevation changes which you don't see on most Chicago area courses.
The greens were in great shape for early May and the traps could use some work to make the sand less compacted or adding sand to them.
The biggest change was in the fairways. They used to be sparse and now they are much better. I would recommend adding a second cut to fairways to better define them. On a number of holes it was hard to see where the fairway ended and the rough began.
The course was a great deal for what we paid on Hot Deals! I will be back to play it again.

Thank you for the 4 stars! Over the past years we have worked hard on making the course the best it can be! We look forward to seeing out back out on the greens.

A new favorite

I last played this course 20 years ago and I hated it. Since then my game has improved and I thought I would try it again. The price was incredible so I thought I had nothing to lose. I was paired with a couple and another single who had never played the course. Watching him i soon remembered why I disliked it the first time. The prairie grass can make it a very tough day. Keeping the ball in play is a must.

The course was in very good condition due to all of the recent rain. There were only a few minor complaints a couple traps with water and the numerous impressions near the hole from all of the new spike-less shoes.

The facilities were comfortable and the bar/restaurant was full after my round. Had a good time and looking forward to bringing my friends next time.

2nd time I played here this year and I should play here more often. The course was in very good shape except for a couple of sand traps having some stones I them. Is this a premier track, of course not; but a great value for the price. In all fairness I have not played here on the weekend, I usually play in the afternoon and so my pace of play has been good at about 4 hours.

Course was in great shape, except for one green that had some winter damage. It was the weekend of the 4th of July and the pace of play was slow (5 hours). This was the first time I had experienced play so slow at this course. There was a 2 some that was just killing the pace and no ranger asked them to pick it up.

The only other item I noticed were the greens were a little bit slower this year. I recommend this course every time the topic of courses that are a top value comes up.

Nice Track, Fast Greens, Worth the Trip

First time playing there and I will be back. Target golf is a must, with lost of hazards in play. The back side is far more intimidating off the tee. The greens are perfect, if you see it you can roll it.

Enjoying a late Summer Fling

It was one of the last nice days of the year in the 70's. Everyone seemed to be out playing on this day. The course was in good shape despite being a little soggy in areas due to the previous two days of rain. The greens were in good shape with six being aerated.

Played the Red / White course and had a great time. Stayed after for beers and a pizza. I would recommend this course to anyone.
