Good Challenging Course

Solid course. Par-4s over 440 yards present a challenge if you don’t get off the tee far enough.

Resort Course, But Challenging

This golf course may not be super long in total distance, but tight fairways, plentiful sand bunkers, and fast pace greens makes this course fun, yet very challenging.

Mt. Vintage no joke, challenging (fun) course

No matter which combo, Vintage-Chester-Independence, the 18-holes will be challenging (fun). Hit ’em straight!

Fun, Great Layout, but Challenging

Fun, Great Layout, but Challenging, visible and hidden water all over the course. Greens are decently fast too. Looking forward to playing this course again now that I know where not to hit:)

Pleasantly surprised by the Carillon

Played the Red/White combo. Very nice course and fun, very challenging layout. Conditions of the course are really good. I’d definitely go back at some point.

Great resort course!

Arguably the best resort golf course in DuPage County. Narrow fairways, fast-moving greens, and #5 is one of the most challenging par-4s I’ve ever played.

Go Play Mackray!

Like any golf course if you stay in the fairway, can get on in regulation and putt you score well; if not this is one of the most challenging golf courses particularly the greens are very small and fast, and the sand bunkers are very strategically placed.

But overall very fun course, I will definitely be back to visit lay again.

36-holes of fun, challenging golf

Visiting from Chicagoland, loved both courses - Ambassador and Presidential. Not sure why people think the Ambassador is that much easier than the Presidential. With that said, the back-9 Presidential particularly from the back tees is very challenging - couple of par-4s over 460+ with very narrow fairways and tough greens. But overall, a fun 36-holes golfers should consider playing.

Three top 9-hole courses - Mt. Vintage

Visiting from Chicagoland, and playing top-rated courses, Mount Vintage Golf is right up there. The Vintage 9-holes is definitely top-tier; Chester wasn’t in the best shape with sand on the greens, but still challenging. Next time I’m visiting, I’m definitely playing it again, and will try the Independent Course as well.

Hidden Gem

Greens are stiff, fast but very true to its read. Trees everywhere and sneaky ponds near greens. But overall a challenging, but fun course.

Short But Sweet

A short but sweet course. A few challenging par-4s, a legit 500+ yard par-5 and plenty of par-3s to challenge your mid/short irons.

Hate I didn’t know about the course earlier

Hate I didn’t know about the course earlier, being 15-20 minutes away from where I reside, and much price-friendly, I will definitely play this course more often; it’s short (6000 yards), but it definitely presents some fun challenges.

Surprisingly Good/Challenging Course

First time playing this course, but is a good/challenging course. While the par-3s and par-5s are very score-able, the par-4s are challengingly fun. And a great price for 18-holes.
