Old Skool duffer's bread and butter! Well kept greens and par 4, driver-friendly, fairways put this course in the fun zone! Think I might buy a new bag here...

I had a great time playing it but only because who i was with. Greens were bumpy and bad shape, no clue if there was even a fairway on any of the holes, couldnt tell. Trees are insane on this course. Zero personality to the course other than trees blocking your drive. Id never play here again by choice

When you first pull up this playground it only shows the golf course, but it has a pretty good all abilities park right next to it! A good place to take the kids to play!

A real treat in America's Heartland. Not very long, but really tight with most holes lined by 100 year old oaks, maples and sycamores.

This isn’t a five star course. I don’t think it ever will be and that’s ok. It’s inexpensive to play, the greens are ok and the fairways are sometimes below that depending on the weather. I play here about 6 times a year because it’s a good course to walk. Go known and look for deals. Sometimes you ca play this course with a cart 9 holes for $9.

Very disappointed with the treatment my husband and son received today. When they went to pay for a round, the female clerk was extremely rude about our son being with him. She even made an inappropriate comment implying that moms watch their kids better than dads — completely out of line. To make matters worse, she said our son wasn’t allowed on the green and had to remain in the cart, but the way she delivered the message — with an unprofessional and condescending attitude — was beyond upsetting. We will not be returning and absolutely would not recommend this course to anyone. Rude, judgm…

Nice Course The course was in very good condition. The greens were receptive at a reasonable speed. The layout suited my and my wife’s games at less than 2800 yards for me and about 2400 for my wife - 8 par 4 and 1 par 3. No water to carry - no sand traps was fine by us. The course is walker friendly - pace of play was good - we will gladly play again.

Played this morning with my son. The greens were in the best shape of any course in the area. Great job to the grounds crew. Fun 9 hole course and if you get out early you can play it pretty fast.

Kiddo loves this park and would stay all day! Playground looks pretty new and has a zip line and balance beam, slides climbing and more. Plenty of tables for picnics and benches to watch them play. Parking spaces and back up spots further down if the main ones are full. Only complaint is that it could use a good trash cleanup.

The course was in good shape but this is the 2nd time my group has had issues with the old male grounds keeper. He is always lurking and making racist comments. I wont be back and I would never tell a person of color to play here. Both times playing here minding our business and he pulls up on his cart with comments. I’m 43 the other players were 46 &14. Play elsewhere!

My son had a few friends play Foot golf for his birthday. It was a fun activity for 7-8 year old boys. We didn’t have to work around too many golfers since we went at 4pm on a Sunday. We would go again!

Nice, fairly short yardage-wise, 9 hole park district course. Lots of trees and plenty challenging for average golfers. No sand traps or water hazards but challenging enough for weekend golfers. Regulation length course: 2,657 yards long, par-35
