Fantastic course, very well maintained. Staff were friendly, greens were soft, so don’t expect roll out of you have any kind of loft. Also has some challenging par 4-5 so don’t expect driver is the best move for the long shots. I would also suggest aim middle green is a safe bet and mostly likely result in a better overall green experience. Favorite hole was 16 and 17. Would recommend to anyone, a must go if you are in the area!

My wife and I celebrated our 60th birthday party at the golf course dinning hall, the food was excellent and the staff treated us very well, that we decided to have my mother in laws 90th birthday party there. I don't play golf so I can't say much about the course, but I recommend if you need a venue for any occasion this is the place to be.

Been golfing here for years. Always play on Saturdays or Sunday and play 36. All of a sudden they don’t do replay rates “on weekends? That’s absurd. This is a Waukegan park district golf course not a country club. Lost a repeat customer.

Interesting layout with undulating greens. Course and greens were in great condition. Pace of play was good. I would definitely recommend it. If you're a senior make sure you ask for the discount big difference on weekdays

Good price for a well maintained course, no cart paths but not that big of a deal. I will be back to play a full 18. The course has some holes you need to think about before pulling out your driver for sure.

I was born in Waukegan. Bought a house in Wkgn, ran a flooring business for 18 years in Wkgn. Paid sales tax, property tax, . Played Bonnie a year ago. I have foursome at 12. I also have a league match at 4.. people were waiting for me at first tee. At 4. So I go directly to first tee to start league. I'm thinking I'll pay after... starter let's me go. We hit our balls and going to 2nd shot. Here come Mike the manager in a cart waving papers in his hand saying somebody didn't pay!!! Now this jerk for a measley $35. Screaming at us. Pretty embarassing... he could have waited. And ask the presid…

Solid public course. 18 will take bare minimum 4 1/2 hours on weekends due to stacked tee time. Nice that this course has a range, but the grass on the range could use some care.

Had a 10:45am tee time on Memorial Day. Course (5stars): In great condition. Rough (5 stars): Lush, but short enough to find balls. Bunkers (5 stars): No weeds, well maintained. Tee boxes (5 stars): Played from the tips, minimal divots. Pace of Play (2 stars): Once we reached the first par 3 hole #3, we waited every hole. Ended up being a 5hr round.
