Went out to play 9 today, 6/20, around 2pm. The greens are atrocious and the tee boxes not much better. Every year the same thing happens to the greens and yet they never seem to address the issues. The fact that on a weekend they have the audacity to charge $60 is outrageous. We stopped by the clubhouse after the round but they did not even offer an apology for the conditions.

Great clubhouse and staff. Same thing others are saying about the rough and also lost many balls. I think there’s potential and looking forward to coming back once the course is improved.

Warning! Do not play this course unless you appreciate atrocious conditions! And this is not hyperbole. Where do I start? My buddy was desperately trying to find a pre noon tee time on a beautiful Friday northern Illinois summer and this was the only course to have one. Now I know why. First, the clubhouse guys are awesome. We were welcomed by a cheerful guy, but he gave the caveat that the greens were mostly burnt out because of over fertilization and not watering afterwards. The greens were for the most part brown, dry, bumpy and at certain parts unplayable. We found out some unusual marks on the green that looked like a frustrated golfer, understandably so, took practice swings on the green. Oh, the rough! Our group lost so many balls because of the overgrown rough. We later found out that the course rough mower was out of order. It wasn't even comical how high the rough was. The positive was that we found a lot of stray balls found in the muck called the rough. Furthermore, it's the little things: No water in the ball cleaners. Signs leaning precariously over. Tee boxes that were more like roughs then boxes. Again the guys are great. However, we found out the course was sold to the navy e.g. the government and the clubhouse said that changes are difficult because of the red tape. They implored me to scan the QR code to leave feedback. Yah, it was $45 with a cart, but it was not worth it! Don't play here until clear and tangible changes are made! If you do and you read this review and the few before me, don't whine if you play and your outing sucked. I told you so!

Terrible course. Greens were 90% dirt, grass clippings everywhere, T box’s were unkept, rough was insanely overgrown. Course employee approached me with an unwelcoming demeanour. He implied that I stole a staff bag. He also claimed they were trying to do best to keep the course in good shape, obviously not with how poor it’s looked. Disgrace to use the Veterans title for their course. Don’t waste your time or make money. Plenty of better courses that are worth paying more for.

The course itself is fun and long! The green and fairways could use some work, but they are actively trying to fix it! With the average price of a round nowadays, this is a stand out deal.
