My Favorite Illinois Course 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Updated:
Played on:Sep 12, 2015
Played the course:once
Pros:
Like others have said, this course is short, but don't let that fool you. There are about 4 or so holes that are mandatory to shoot over the water, which makes it tough but fun. Turf tee pads are a plus, and some utilize the concrete path, which i thought was fine. The signs are really nice as well and it's easy to navigate.
Cons:
I don't really have anything to complain about! I guess the only thing that could be done would be to have next tee signs, but they aren't really necessary. We went around 9am on a saturday, and we noticed it was getting a bit crowded by the time we left around 11am.
Other Thoughts:
Don't let the pictures fool you, they are very outdated. New signage is awesome. This is my new favorite course in Illinois. I love the technical shots that you have to take here through the woods. Challenging course and I absolutely will go back. I shot an even par here, and as an intermediate player, I think some of the more advanced players can easily shoot under par.

Great Park 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Apr 10, 2012
Played the course:5+ times
Pros:
Great Course, long, short, water and wooded holes. Never crowded, always maintained. Wind is never a factor and the pictures on this page don't do the course justice.
Cons:
Swamp on hole 4 and 10 may have 5 of my discs in there.
Other Thoughts:
I drive 50 min every Saturday to play here.
