You can often find a really good price online during the week at this place. I would like to see the bunkers in better shape though. Other than that the course over all was in good shape for prime summertime conditions. I would like to point out to the average golfers to please fix Your ball marks on each green that you hit! It makes it easier to putt for the Golfers that follow You and it's good golf etiquette. Thanks and have a great round. Lol!!!

Worst golf course I’ve ever played in my life. Golf cart broke down had to get a new one, and then there was NO JOKE 20 people on a hole. We called the pro shop, and the guy said “oh we know those guys. Just go around them. I doubt they let you play through” how is it okay to have 20 people on a hole???? It’s quite literally their job to fix this issue yet they ALLOW IT. This wasn’t an anomaly either. Another hole had 6 people on a hole as well. Believe it or not there was a “starter” and a “ranger” absolutely pathetic.

Tried the Italian beef sandwich with fries and coleslaw !! For $10 that's a deal!! Flavor of the Italian beef and cheese was perfect!! Skinny fries were fresh and hot and the coleslaw was great! Good place to pick up lunch !!

Worst pace of play I have ever seen. And what ever happened to golf Edicut? If you are slow why not let faster players play through no we swear at them then call the pro shop and cry. Terrible over 3 hours to golf 9 holes. Then get yelled at when we wanna skip a hole and go in front of people . Cry baby cry. Pos!

Beautiful course that is well maintained. Friendly staff and friendly players. I'm a newer golfer, and although this is a large course, I felt welcomed and encouraged to play. I was playing a scramble with more experienced players, which helped,but I felt like this was a very comfortable place to play.

It's a nice practice course... Fairly price for course conditions. Greens are poorly managed, burned and extremely slow. Staff is great. Nichol is awesome!! Very friendly and serves on, a timely manner. Overall staff is cool. The course just needs some TLC and it will be Great!

I loved this place! I took my daughter here to practice for her IHSA Regionals and the staff was super helpful! The course was in great shape. Every single employee was courteous and inviting. I was pleasantly shocked at how much I loved this round and lunch. I will definitely be back.
