Sorry but find another course. Terrible shape. Worst shape I believe I have ever seen a golf course in; includes tees, fairways and greens. The higher ratings must be from a different time or maybe from a different course superintendent. Some greens are actually too small and difficult for most golfers. Also long par 3’s (175, 205) and par 4’s (432, 440, 441) on the back nine. The open sewer smell at the first tee is a nice touch too.

I want to give an enthusiastic two thumbs-up to all of the amazing staff & crew at The Marriott-Lincolnshire Crane’s Landing Golf Course. If anyone is searching for that perfect golfing experience, you needn’t look any further. I’ve been golfing for over 60 years & in my lifetime, I have had the good fortune to play on a variety of courses here in The States and all over the world. As I believe most golf enthusiasts would agree, there are numerous factors that can determine a great round of golf from one that might be better off forgotten! Out of all the venues I have played, Crane’s Landing consistently provides the most enjoyable, memorable golfing experience. Personal golfing abilities aside, Crane’s Landing definitely delivers nothing less than a great round of golf. The grounds are well maintained & the layout is fun to play. Most importantly, the management, staff & crew are always accommodating; Eric, the manager, goes out of his way to make sure my guests & I are well taken care of, and making a tee time is never a problem. My son & I have been golfing at Crane’s Landing every weekend for many years. In that time, I’ve also started golfing with my adult grandsons (who recently took up the sport), nephews, out of town family & friends. They all look forward to golfing at Crane’s & share the same enthusiasm for playing the course as I do. Many thanks again to the great folks at Crane’s Landing. I always look forward to golfing there & highly encourage other golfers who haven’t yet checked it out to make a tee time. You won’t be disappointed. Ernie Falk

Nice course friendly staff. We definitely enjoyed our round. Also had the pleasure of meeting Godzilla on #16. 😆

Either needs multimillion dollar repair and upgrade, or to close down. Maybe build townhouses on 1/2 of it and use the money to fix it up into a 9 hole course? It's next to the Des Plaines river, so maybe the threat of flooding makes it uneconomical and too risky to fix? The grass in my yard is in better shape than this course, which is really saying something.

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST COURSE I HAVE EVER PLAYED - AVOID AT ALL COSTS If I could give zero stars, I would. Crane’s Landing is, without question, the worst golf course I’ve ever set foot on. It’s not just in bad shape — it’s unplayable. The greens are literally half dirt. No exaggeration. Trying to putt is a joke when your ball is bouncing through patches of dead grass and bare earth. It’s like putting on gravel. Fairways? Covered in weeds. Not just a few here and there — entire sections are so overrun you can barely tell where the fairway ends and the rough begins. It feels like they haven’t maintained anything in months. And the tee boxes? Absolutely trashed. Uneven, chewed up, and half of them don’t even have grass. You’re teeing off from mud or rock-hard dirt. It’s like they gave up. The whole course looks abandoned — not a single part of it feels cared for. Honestly, I’ve played $15 muni tracks in better shape than this, and this place has the audacity to charge regular rates? It’s a ripoff and an insult to anyone who actually enjoys the game. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Crane’s Landing. Unless you’re into wasting money and killing your love for golf, there is nothing redeeming about this place.
