Excellent shape
Everything was great. My only concern was the tee box on the ninth hole. The steps going up to the back tee marker concerns me. Somebody could twist an ankle or fall. The steps should be repaired. They are old and in bad shape. I was afraid to walk down them so walked down the hill. Even that can be difficult if the grass is wet.
Underwhelming
Boring course. No yardage markers. Poorly manicured greens. Tough finding next tee box.
Not a good value for the money.
Golf course was fine
Everything was fine regarding the golf course. Booked a tee time through tee off.com. The clubhouse personnel could not find my reservation on their system, even with the confirmation number. Wish they served food
a well-maintained course with great location and the view
nice course, with a rare viewpoint of downtown Chicago skyscrapers. the course is well maintained (except for the rough unpaved pathways) and staffs are kind.
Nice course but feels a bit unfinished
The course is nice to play, but seems like a bit of a work in progress. Some areas still under construction, including the gravel parking lot. That said, conditions of fairways and greens were generally very good. Bunkers also in great shape. Some tee boxes were a bit worn and uneven but nothing too terrible. Staff was friendly. Pace of play was slow but I have come to expect that from 9 hole courses especially on the weekend, so I just try to enjoy the weather and scenery. Nice views of the surrounding area and you can see the downtown skyline too.

Path Rough Walking for Seniors
I’m a senior and found the path to be too rough for me to walk it comfortably. It is rocky with so much unevenness that I was wishing it were paved. Also, I was wishing there were more signs that indicated the location of the next tee. I ended up backtracking more than once because I guessed wrong, which meant even more walking on the uneven path than was necessary. But fairway grass was in good shape, as were the greens. Challenging course because of the hilly terrain.
Hang on to your hat
Played course on cool.windy day in September. Course has few trees, and many bunkers. Holes that were downwind were easier for me. Holes into the wind or cross wind were very difficult, in my opinion.
Even chips or putts were affected.
Had fun, and nobody bothered me, and found a couple of Titliests in the fairway.
Great fun course to play
Well worth the adventure. Reasonably priced and fun to play.
A pleasant round.
First time playing this course, it was a pleasant surprise. Be prepared for a blind recovery shot if you missed the fairway. The only criticisms are the cart paths are worn out and a lack of benches at the tee boxes. I will definitely play again.
Rangers needed
The course needs to work on their tee boxes. Some were really in bad shape, hole 9 was missing a marker and two holes your tee shot stance was either above or below your feet.
High school golf team twice hit into us and were on us when we were waiting on every shot. Course needs ranger to help with pace of play.
Wish they’d step up the game
Range still not open but. It advertised as closed. Showed up early and waited. Was told course was on time and then was 10 min late starting. Used to love this place. They need to get to the next level asap.
This golf course has construction going on
For money this golf course is great. I am playing 2 or three times every year but since last year due to cunsruction it’s bad . Some holes missing signs so we have to look for next tee box!
