Better courses nearby

Course winds thru a development, and at times seems a little tricked up. Would help if they had GPS on the riding carts.

Way too much water on the fairways. Course played very soft.

Condition of the fairways seems to have deteriorated in the last couple of years.

Average at best

I'm not a fan of courses like this. The layout means you are basically playing on top of each other the entire time. It's not terribly long, and the distance they try to squeeze out of the small space actually just means tee boxes are next each other and greens. The price is right and it's right outside Chicago. I'd probably play again, but it wouldn't be my first option.

Cut the rough. Losing balls 3 feet off the fairway is stupid.

O'Connor gets a round in

Course is always in good shape the staff on a limited budget does a wonderful job..... They treat people the right way and the course is tight with plenty of challenges - but you can score...put this one on your list and go have fun golfing......it's a great place to unwind.

9 holes played quick

Played 18, 9 holes played in hour 45, second nine in 2 and a half, real slow. Had outing started them on back nine. They didn't alternate coming off 9. Not a good time.

Love playing this course, good opportunities to score early. I would say there’s two things to be aware of when playing here 1) there’s an absurd amount of geese 2) because of how close the tee times are it has a high probability of golfers ahead of you not maintaining the pace of play. I’ve had to skip at least 2 holes each round and just let the shop know and they always have been kind of enough to let me just circle back to finish the round

Terrible course

Geese poop and geese are everywhere. Tees are broken, nothing is up-kept, no starter, terrible greens. Overall deserves negative stars.

It’s now what it use to be

Haven’t played this in years. I had fond memories of the course. It is narrow, water in the right places , long but not too long. The course was in terrible shape. Goose dung everywhere, greens with holes and divots, shaggy fairways, and tee boxes that are full of divots.

Can’t really believe how bad it became. Quit after 14 in disgust.

3.5 Stars - it was too slow 5 hour round, but the course is not bad! They wont allow me submit this without the recommendation box checked, so I had to say Yes or No, I’d rather say maybe.

Do not go during a popular time

Round took 5.5 hours! Course conditions were decent. Tee boxes were a little choppy but no other big issues. I’d only play again on a morning weekday.
