NIKE0033

Hopefully you can see the irony in this. OVERALL Rating is POOR but Pace of Play is EXCELLENT. Course Conditions were POOR but Staff Friendliness EXCELLENT. Sad day out on a perfect weather day. Of course pace was great because no other fools were on this course today. We had it to ourselves and by Hole 2 we knew why. The ironic part is that the staff curmudgeon that usually checks us in wasn't there today. Someone friendly, offering advice and walking carts, drinks, tees and other extras actually was. The downside was the condition of the course. Dandelions everywhere. Very poor condition on the greens. Seeds everywhere and no clean lines to putt. And the 4th Tee...embarrassing. It could be classified as a health hazard. No firm footing No trimmed grass. No place to put a tee and a line of houses to the left (for lefties) to deal with. We made it thru but to pay $10 which amounts to about $1.11 a hole is way too much for this place (today). I hope they have it fixed by the next time we try this place.

Was really looking forward to this round with it being LATE, late October in Chicagoland area. High 60s, Sun, late morning 9. Unfortunately we were stuck behind 3 younger kids walking and a teacher riding a cart. If we would have scheduled an earlier round Im sure we could have avoided this but who doesnt want to sleep in on the weekends? It was brutal for the 1st 3 holes and then again on the 9th when they finally let us play through. Thanks, but for what really at this point in the round? Damage done. Could have been a great day but will have to settle for average because of no flow, aggravation of waiting. We considered calling the office but a Ranger drove past us and apparently didnt do anything either. Oh well still a bonus round played in late fall.

Probably overshadowed by the nearby Seven Bridges, this course was a nice surprise for a 1st time play after living in the area for a number of years now. I have always backed-off playing here because it was always $20 on GolfNow with no wavering on the price however it was worth the price (w/cart). Generous fairways, no real forced carries but their bunkers did need some attending to. Other than that, I would come back here. Tough play first time around, not knowing green layouts or what you cannot see but I will play better next time knowing what lies ahead my 2nd time out there. Starter was a little cold but other than that...enjoyable round.

Better course conditions this time around (last played in the fall where leaves were a major issue). Still very dry which was helpful to get some extra distance on fairways but greens almost unfair.

Tons of houses just off a few fairways so ACCURACY is a must. Back 9 more enjoyable than the front. Thankful to the considerate golfers that were in front of us. Something you dont see everywhere these days but playing as a two-some with my brother on a Friday afternoon we were able to finish a full 18, starting at 5pm with some sunshine to spare.

Unreal this place. I think I saw a description of "Tight Fairways" in the most recent review. Understatment of the year. Houses are 10 yards away in numerous spots in multiple tee boxes; if its not that its on coming traffic in the street on the other side. No way you'd get me to drive down any of those streets on a busy day here. RIDICULOUS.. Maybe Im just not that good but these fairways were anything but FAIR. Oh an the three holes that had both an uphill/downhill pin placement. Seriously? Flag sticks were horizontal on each of these...so if you are playing the following day, make sure you stop in and talk to whoever is in charge of pin placement, buy him a nice meal, give him tickets to the opera or a Cubs playoff game and hopefully you will get some kind of relief when you come in tomorrow. Good luck...Ill be back in 10 years.

...with this course. If its one thing, its challenging. Narrow fairways, fairway bunkers etc. Unless you have complete confidence in your driver, leave it in the bag. We played BLACK tees (1 in front of GOLD) and it played about 6400 yards but with the narrow fairways, said bunkers it seemed to play much longer. Would NOT recommend for beginners. Decent price for a weekend but if you get frustrated easily, find another course where you CAN and WILL hit fairways. No complaints about this place, just very challenging.

My second round at OdysseyGC, both early morning rounds and no complaints on either. Played the BLUEs 1st time, WHITEs this time and both positions were fair for my skill level and playing partners each time. Thought the course was maintained fairly well. Some parts of some fairways looked like a bear chewed up the lawn but never came into play and plenty of space to drop. Some parts did not dran well and had to walk in "hidden" puddles but not an issue if you keep balls on the fairways. Fair, challenging Par 4s throughout and beware of the Par 5 Island Green which dog legs to the left on the back. 2nd shot important to put you in a position to approach in 3. Weekend price of $60+ decent. Aside from being far out of the way for me, I would go back and play in the early morning again.

If you dont mind waiting, or slow play come out and play this course. Its a shame that a quick fix of putting a ranger out there to monitor play could correct the one issue I have with this place. Has a nice warm up range and ample putting, chipping areas, easy to get to, decent weekend pricing but just too long of waits on certain holes which then backs everyone up. Length not an issue here, challenging for ball striking but greens are pretty flat. Employ a ranger on week nights and weekends and Ill be back. Until then, always just a back up course for me and only if its a last minute opening to other places in the area.

Holiday 18, early tee time worked out perfectly for today's round. 1st time playing the course despite the proximity to the house. I was surprised at the nice clubhouse and access to the place despite being connected to the hotel. Maybe it was low occupancy but we were on early and no one really pushing us or slowing us down. They have nets to warm up your driver, longer clubs and a nice practice green as well. I would definitely come back if they had specials. High $70s for a round is a bit much but course was in excellent condition and fair considering the set up. 6 different pin positions and only a few were unfair on our round. Ill be back.

I am pretty sure PB is considered a Links style course which played perfectly yesterday. Rarely did we have to deal with looking for balls around fallen leaves. Again, weather, perfect. And with the location of the course, it was extremely quiet. No airplanes, no traffic noises. Just wide open and the conversation with the group and others around us. Had an early tee time but had to deal with a short frost delay. Despite that, still very little waiting. Nice to have rangers moving the slow play along and just reminding us and others to keep pace. Underrated service in my opinion but all Rangers were very respectful unlike other places Ive played this season. Make the trip and play PB. Ill be back next season for sure.

Took advantage of great weather this morning. Couldn't find any friends to play with so I signed up as a single so as not to waste a great forecasted day of weather in the Chicagoland area. I was paired up with two (2) other singles who were also very mindful, respectful of the course and the game, THANKFULLY. Kudos to the staff, starter who got us off right on time so as to avoid the Scramble outing that was also going off a little later in the morning. We only waited a short while on Hole #10 and after that, great round all around. While there are tougher courses out there, Village Greens played tough enough today. Easily accessible, ample parking always and challenging enough with the water in play from the BLUEs. Come play if you can.

So, it was a tad chilly when we teed off this morning. I was a little disappointed that Holes 3 and 4 were undergoing upgrades as the Par 5 4th is one of my favs. Nevertheless with Holes 19 and 20 subbing for these 2, no complaints. Staff today was great, greeted and told about the renovations when I asked. Great views esp with the planes landing, one unfortunate hole where a plane literally took off on my back swing. Other than that, love this course and will be back whenever I can find a deal and the right players to play with.

Also visit this course numerous times over the season. I wish it was open more often but tee times usually fill up either due to it being a fun course and our leagues that are held there on certain nights. Still I will always come back to this place for Art alone, undoubtedly the best Clubhouse staff member at any course I have frequented. Looks out for all of his patrons. As for the course, played fair today minus the pin placement on 7th. Miss a putt and it rolls to the bottom. Come visit this place and get to know Art. Oh...Taco Tuesdays and Corona specials at Ashbury's. Made for a great 10th hole after the round. Enjoy.

If you like waiting to tee off, this is the place to be for a late afternoon/early evening round. In all seriousness however, this place is great but avoid this time as we found ourselves stuck behind very, very slow players today. We opted to skip Hole #1 after watching the 4-some ahead fail to complete it in under 25min-LITERALLY. We started on Hole #2 and eventually were able to complete 7 of the 9 holes today. It would have been nice to have at least ONE ranger out there to move groups along. Other than that, I hope to play this course again, just at different times when the "less experienced, less knowledgeable" golfers are NOT out there. Not a golf snob but show some consideration to your fellow golfers ahead and behind of your group.

Biased today because my Putter worked properly. Still a nice find in the Western Burbs. Thank you to staff working today; we were greeted by name via GolfNow Reservation. A few walk-ups didnt slow our round. Great course for an afternoon 9 (walking or riding). Hope to be back again weather permitting before the season ends.
