Course has great bones. The green complexes are absolutely fantastic. Just a bit rougher around the edges.

Most overrated and over priced course in Chicago. This was our home course in college. Has potential to be awesome but it’s in awful shape and doesn’t drain well. Redo the irrigation, firm it up, redo the bunkers, and keep the greens fast, and the course could be awesome.

Fine course to play some twilight at. Barely saw anyone else around my group the whole time. Aerated greens recently and wasn’t aware before booking, wasn’t too bad though.

Value play here, but a really neat layout. Elevation changes make for fun holes but hit or miss on the condition. Personally would roll the dice on heading back and hoping for conditions to be improved.
