Just a special place worthy of the praise it receives in national rankings. The golden age golf course architecture is the star of the show here. Despite the length not being overly intimidating, the course has various ways to protect itself, specifically the fairway bunkers.

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.

Greens were running 11.8 and perfect. Course is always just beautiful and the fescue just looks stunning this time of year

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.

The Preserve is one of the better public courses in the Chicago area — definitely a fun spot to tee it up. The practice area is great for warming up, with a nice range and short game setup that sets the tone for the round.

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.

…the only real challenging hole on this nine is hole 6, which requires a long and precise drive to set up an approach to a long but narrow island green that typically plays into a crosswind, making for a challenging approach.
