So I'm curious about Fairfield. Is it worth the high rating? What might it compare to in WI, for those of you that have played up here? I've been working my way into northern IL to bag, and my next trip is going to have Fairfield on the itinerary.
It's overrated, but still a good course. It is a bit disappointing when you walk up to the first tee and see the first 4 holes are wide open boring shots after seeing all the 5 star reviews. There are good holes once you get in the woods. If you play on the weekend be prepared for some long waits, especially where the short and long course merge back together.
Also, don't trust the course conditions, it is always listed in perfect shape even when it is far from perfect. I have been there many times when the conditions say the course is perfect and when you get there it's wet and muddy.
