“This course is a tale of two nines. The front nine is on one side of 87th street and features a prominent glacial ridge that runs through the middle of several holes creating significant elevation changes. The second nine has some big par 4/5s with some crazy Ross green complexes.”

“One of the most difficult courses in the U.S., will absolutely beat you up. Mend only club as there’s only a few left in the country, must play for sure. Green complex and speed is hard to describe. Great finishing holes.”

“The course is always in pristine condition — fast, pure greens, perfect fairways, and rough that still gives you a chance. The layout is so much fun. It flows naturally, has great variety, and the closing stretch from 13 to 18 is just awesome.”

“Dubsdread is about as classic as Chicago public golf gets. A true championship test with a rich PGA Tour history, this Dick Wilson and Joe Lee design still lives up to its “hard but fair” reputation.”

“The second half of the renovation is now complete and all 18 holes are open. The renovation has the course looking amazing. There are still a few quirky holes on the front 9, but the back 9 really shines.”

“Impressive build for a golf course built on a dump. A good club as well. Some quirky holes but a fun round.”

“Very nice amenities and an amazing indoor/outdoor bar/range set up that should be more prevalent in the area. Course is fun with unique feature and well maintained. Large restaurant and event space, feel of a nice semi private club w muni availability.”

“Great bones and a great Reno around 2010 to keep this place as close to original as they could. Possibly the best set of par 3s I have personally seen from Mr Ross. #4(3rd photo) is a top 5 hole from Donald”

“Beautiful course. Lots of wide fairways. The wind is the biggest factor here and can make holes play a lot longer. Very well kept course with nice greens. Good food at the clubhouse too.”

“Such a shame… Arcis golf ruining a Pete Dye design. Really a great layout, tests aspects of your game. But that’s where the good ends and is the only reason it gets the score it does. Course is a free for all, no management bunkers are quite honestly the worst I’ve seen.”

“Considering every tee time in Chicago is $70+ this course is becoming more and more worth it. Not a single bad hole, not a single amazing hole just a bunch of good solid golf holes”
