Worth the trip from the Chicagoland suburbs. A challenging course. Greens weren't at their best because they had been aerated and hadn't healed. Otherwise, in great shape despite the hot dry weather this year.

Been playing here since mid 1990's and i like the layout of open & tight holes that makes it relaxing to play. The wind will come into play on some holes that will really make you decide where you want to land. I've used my driver on one par 3 (190yd)that had a 3 club headwind. Greens are always in good shape and fairways are watered so they are nice and smooth rolling. Located right off the highway and are very accommondating to out of county vistors.
