Lincolnshire Marriott Resort

Crane's Landing, woven into the fabric of the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort, is a golfing experience defined by its commitment to playability and relaxed resort atmosphere north of Chicago. The course exists without pretense, a place where approachability trumps championship aspirations. Designed by Dick Nugent, Crane's Landing is best described as a modern parkland course, carved from the gently rolling terrain of suburban Prairie View. Wide fairways give way to approachable greens, demanding strategy in club selection and positioning rather than raw power. While not known for torturous length, Crane's Landing features strategic bunkering and subtle green contours, rewarding thoughtful play. While Crane's Landing may not host major championships, its value lies in its accessibility. Many find its unpretentious layout and welcoming atmosphere a refreshing alternative to the area’s more demanding courses. In the bar, you'll hear less about swing planes, and more about weekend plans and the struggles of navigating Chicago traffic.
