Looking for a new place to play

Always looking for a new place to play. Not long, but need to put the ball in the correct side or pay the price. Greens rolled nice. Some brutal pin placements.

Didn't play

They said the course was too wet for carts. I have bad feet from my 24yrs in the military and unable to really walk a course. If I do, I pay a hefty price the next day. I was willing to do so, just to get out with a pull cart, but they didn't have those to rent out as well. I lost out on some money booking it thru GolfNow, Decided to drive about 30 minutes to Lost Marsh and play there instead. Better course, my opinion. Marks and rating don't really reflect this course, but something to put out there, that's all.

Needed to get out

It's been a while since I've played this course. Not a big fan on starting an #10, but I know courses do that, so the front doesn't get overplayed. Started to rain, so it made it not so fun during the middle of the round, especially when playing a four and a half hour round. Just say pace of play was slower than average. I don't understand how players want to play the tips, but can't one out drive me, and I'm not long off the tee and two spray the ball all over.

Needed to get out

One of my new favorite courses to play. Played the BLUES (6464 YDS) so I didn't drive it into bunkers or lateral hazards. Could be a problem for some. Slope rating is high, but a played above average for this course. Tee boxes are FLAT, fairways PRISTINE, but the greens are FAST! The only negative is certain holes don't fit my shot shape off the tees. A must play but, play the correct tee box conducive to your game. Don't play the tips if you're a sprayer of the ball. It slows down the pace of play.

Played on a Friday so..... Next day was a Junior Tournament. I would've thought the course should've been in better condition than it was. Greens ran pretty true, but some imperfections that I hoped they'll take care of before Tournament time. It's been a while since I played it, but this time it didn't impressed me.

WET, WET, WET! Balls were plugging in the fairway. Needed to get the the feel for the course. CDGA Senior Qual is coming up and needed to see were the bad shots shouldn’t go and were the bad misses should be played from. Which holes can be played long and short or just short. Just coming up with a basic game plan.

Great/Challenging Course

Been awhile since I’ve played it. Course in better shape than some of the ones that I’ve played so far. Obviously some holes my eyes don’t agree with, but scored pretty good for early in the season.

Okay for the time of year.

Layout was good, with risk reward holes. The only bad thing were the Greens were chewed up. My pet peeve is people not fixing ball marks on the green. The other two courses I’ve played, had tarps to cover the green to protect them. This course didn’t.

Itching to Play

Been a while since I've played here. Granted for the time of the year, I didn't expect much, but it could've been a little bit better. I'm not one to give bad reviews, but if your going to be open, don't start blowing the leaves off the fairway at 1:00pm when sunset is 4:30pm. At least start it around 8:00am or 9:00am if you know you're going to be open. The greens were long. I expected that. what I didn't expect how burnt they were. Three greens looked good and the rest needed help. They said there equipment broke and hopefully they'll get it fixed or get new ones by next season. I hope so,

Don't know why, but I played the tips. Need to play it like this, don't know what the set up is going to be for the SR AM. Being conscious Where is a good landing area and where not to be. Wind was affecting the putting, but I don't think it's going to be that windy Tournament time.

This is one of the coursed that the Illinois Senior Amateur Qualifier is being held. Need to get comfortable with the lay out. Some holes are deceiving and if the ball is on the wrong side, you'll pay for it.

Love this course! Not that long at almost 6500 form the tips. Couple of holes that are real challenging. Like holes 5, 10, 11, 16 and 18. Shot 83, no thanks to my four 3-putts and OB. Fairways are open and wide, but the greens are tricky. If your a decent putter, you'll do good. Again, I love this course, can't wait to play it in ideal conditions.

Weather was good and it was the only course that had a tee time that I thought I could finish. I was wrong, got to 14, instead of 17 or 18. I'm not a big fan of playing County courses because pace of play is sssoooo slow. I only play them, when I have no other choice.

Grease Lightning

Course was in great shape. The night before and morning rain had but all disappeared, except in some very low spots on the course. My only CON, these have to be the fastest greens I've putted all year hands down! I'm known for my 3-4 three putts a round. I had that on the first four holes! GREASE LIGHTNING!!!
Teed off at 3:10, made the turn at 5;35, and they were a threesome. Too slow for my taste.
