Reviews
For being in Naperville, course as a surprising amount of elevation changes. Good variety on the front nine with holes that play around the perimeter of the property with a monster of a par 5 on hole 8 (610yards) from the black tee. A few lackluster holes on the back nine including back-to-back par 5s that sit side by side and play similar. 17, the club’s signature hole is a 234 yard par 3 to a peninsula green that is an absolute score wrecker late in the round. Bounded by house on 2 sides and the metro train to the north, the club sits on a tight parcel, but it is still a great course that is extremely well maintained. A massive grass driving range is a surprisingly nice amenity.
Played in mid-October. Very quaint and groomed well. Some cool holes tucked away in the back end of the course
