The best golf courses in Crystal Lake, Illinois

“Played pre-renovation. Course was tough parkland course. Tight, trees, rough, length, water etc. Par 3s were a bit repetitive which has since been changed. Holes 7-11 all felt the same.”

“Conway Farms definitely gives off that big time feel the second you pull up to bag drop. The staff was awesome — super friendly and welcoming right from the start.”

“Course was in good shape but our whole group said it wasn’t impressive. We were there for an outing and didn’t get to play 3. 1 felt like a muni that was in good condition. Enjoyable enough but nothing memorable and never got the “wow I’m playing Medinah” feeling.”

“Great $50 walk. Fescue is overly penal. Impossible to find the ball even if it’s six inches in, despite the fescue being only a couple inches tall. I don’t need to be able to play it but I’d like to at least find it when i know exactly where it went”

“Enjoyable course, great practice facilities. Front 9 much more links than the back but still fun. Worth playing on a regular basis. Blows away many comparable priced public courses in the Chicagoland area”

“Very solid track. Played it in a tournament and had a great mix of short par 4’s and hard holes. Punches above its weight for a public track.”

“Definition of a hidden gem. Langford & Moreau design that just needs a little love and small renovation and they could charge triple. No sand in the bunkers, but it doesn’t make them any less challenging. Must-play for a Golden Age nerd.”

“Great conditions and some cool holes. However, thought some of the holes were very basic as well. I’m from Illinois but if I come in to the area, I’d rather play Hawks View for a similar price. Some may disagree with that but I think it’s the better layout”

“If this course was 700 yards longer, it might be one of the best courses in the state. Big fan of the grass bunker edges. Very aesthetically pleasing.”
