Kishwaukee Country Club is an 18 hole Championship Course that is tree lined, has great greens, and is a fair test of golf. Many guests see the yardage and think the course is relatively short but it is a Par 70 with one par 5 on the front and one par 5 on the back. The course is well manicured and is best known for its old school greens. The greens are true, roll great, and have the character of the older traditional courses. The club was formed in 1901 and is one of the most affordable private country clubs in the Midwest. The club is vibrant and has attracted many younger members that make this a great mix of ages, levels of ability, and a fantastic pace of play. Known throughout the region as very affordable, great track, and probably the only private country club that carries no debt. A true gem!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Price, Pace of Play, Difficulty, Ambiance, Staff, Layout
