Hope for the best

Whisper creek has always been a favorite.. a bit disappointing.. the course was not up to the detailed maintenance standards that have always had.
The course has been mismanaged from a agricultural view. Course was burned out.
Tee boxes beat up and dried out. Bunkers unplayable and unkempt.
You cannot help but enjoy the layout but to have these very disappointing conditions are either mismanaged or no budget.
If its a budget thing they shouldn't be charging premium rates for sub par conditions.
Before you think its sour grapes by me... im a retired golf course superintendent of 30 years so I have a little insight on what the cultural practices are to keep a 4 star course playable.
I wish them luck... hope the recognize their short comings and are able to rectify what needs to be looked at.

Check first

Its a great course. We maintained... check before you book. They allow their leagues to play with no time table... thats fine its their club...but don't penalize the daily play because your members take as much time as they want.
4 and three quarters hours to play...
Go enjoy the course. But expect a long day

Education

Whisper creek is a wonderful place to play
.. .like everything now just because it's there doesnt mean it should be to your liking. Translation....golf knowledge and etiquette are no longer part of the enjoyment of golf.
Slow play... rude players... unfamiliar with golf knowledge. Is ruining a gentleman's game.
Whisper creek has fallen into this like all other courses.
Take the money and go have fun.
No rangers
Poor daily conditions
Too high rates
Its accepted way to easily and the better golfer is penalized for the way golf has gotten..
Go enjoy. Whisper creek it's a great layout.
Just accept what the new norm is

Weather makes a difference

Aldeen has Always been one of my favorite places to play. Weather and timing has caused a percentage of their fairways to deteriorate, it will grow back, it's still very playable, it just worn out.
Its too bad golf etiquette is a thing of our past, not to have slower players allow faster and better players to play through is very frustrating.
Why are good golfers being penalized because of uneducated and poor golfers?
Go enjoy Aldeen. Its a treat to play

A must play

Nothing but praise for the course. Wonderful layout. Great challenge. Great piece of property with natural look.
Everyone should play the Ledges.
I'm sorry to have to be honest. But the client base that play, not all, but some of the players need to learn more about golf etiquette.
The group we followed played four but had a fifth that continually talked and drank and parked in wrong spots. They threw clubs. Parked carts on greens collars. On tee banks. Didn't take out bunkers. Didn't fix ball marks. Scuffed greens surfaces with their spikes. Were loud. Slow players who didn't understand ready golf. It was upsetting as a golfer too see them play with little respect to the course and the groups behind them.
Its sad, after being in the golf industry for 30 years
to watch such bad behavior and disrespect.

Don't let our bad experience keep you from playing there, it is a treat and fun course to play

First Time Playing

Beginners course

First impression was from the pro shop staff. Rude, not helpful. A interesting designed course with a few good holes. Its a course for beginners and players of lower ability. Conditions are fair at best, maintenance is basic. Disappointed in employee training. Rudeness must be the norm. Was yelled at by the grass cutter of the day. Tossing a rake into the poorly maintaned bunker so my wife could rake it after she played. He commented on if that's how we treat your clubs. Should have left the bunker like the players before us UNRAKED. Irritating how we were charged weekend rates and midway on the back nine the same grass cutter mentioned earlier was verticutting the greens. Mid day on a sunday, primetime, and only three or four greens!!! As I said earlier. Bad management...
Wouldn't recommend this course to anyone.

Our group travel northern Illinois and southern wisconsin.
It is in the top three courses we play and the best course we played on 2016.
If you have any doubts. Put them aside. This is a must play course.
Wonderful layout. Even better conditions.
I was in the golf maintenance profession for 30 years, Aldeen is a top condition course. Treat yourself, go play.

This course is a must play

Outstanding course, its a must play always in great condition.
It's turned into a course that allows employees to not do there jobs. Beverage cart was OK. Cart kid was non existent, rangers should turn their paychecks back to the course. To allow groups play at a pace that holds up the play behind them is an embarrassment. Two holes ahead of the slow group was the closest they got. It was a full course, pace was slow and rangers patrolled the edges of the course as good as any ranger. It's a great course, but to allow groups to play at the pace they want instead of what the course is asking, is very discouraging...

If your a fan of great courses, this is a must play

Having been in the golf industry for thirty years, assistant superintendent, and superintendent, it was a true pleasure to have the chance to enjoy, this outstanding facility. When looking for a course, that when hour finished playing, you walk away saying, wow and I'll come back, this is the course to play. Conditions are second to none. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this course.
