Hadn’t played here for quite a few years. Played the Orange. Was really in pretty good shape and plenty firm and bouncy. Having played there regularly as a youngster, I was excited to get back. The fella at the register must’ve had something depressing on his mind; but, it went well thereafter!

I had a frustrating experience at the U of I Golf Course. A sign clearly marked half the driving range as closed, so I used the open side without issue. Wanting to use the short game complex next, I called the clubhouse to make sure the closure didn’t apply there. An employee named Alex assured me it was open, so I bought another bucket of balls. When I got there, someone not affiliated with the course told me I couldn’t practice. Back at the clubhouse, Alex admitted he didn’t actually know it was closed. No staff member seemed to know what was going on or how to fix the issue. I asked for a refund—Alex said there was nothing he could do. I asked for a manager—he refused to get them. At one point, I even saw Alex laughing and complaining about me to another employee. Eventually, someone offered me a range voucher, but it was only valid for 24 hours—not helpful. I’ll probably use it because $15 is $15, but I’m not happy about it. Great facility, but completely disorganized staff and poor customer service. If management is reading this and wants to make it right, feel free to reply—I'd be open to a follow-up.

The Orange course. Great course, great condition overall. Insanely wet after nearly 3 inches of rain in the last 2 days. Water everywhere, even when it doesn't look wet in the taller grass. Greens are in excellent condition. Very soft and can hold pretty well , but screaming fast speed, even still wet from morning dew. Rough is plenty long too. Over all, bad round for me, but great course.

Great time and reasonable price. Alex was exceptional at getting us on even though they were very busy. Course was in great shape ... only frustration was too many golfers were nonchalant about fixing ball marks and speed of play. But, will definitely return when in the area!

I had a blast playing. First time playing there and was able to watch a Illi basketball player tee off in front of us. Definitely coming back. Staff was very friendly we had a total of 10 people playing they got let us break up into 3 teams. Everyone was very friendly! Can't wait to come back!!!
