Great trac

My buddy and I each drove 25 miles to play and once again we were not disappointed. Challenging layout, nice course conditions and friendly staff all combined to make it one of our favorite destinations.
Great deal on Golf Now made it irresistible..

Nice course

The layout is top notch and the greens are great
This course is hard so play can be slow so I try to visit in off peak times. I went on a day with light rain so pace was great.

Nice course horrible staff!

Course was great the staff were horrible. Purchased a foursome and was unable to fill all four spots, no consideration was given for a rain check even this late in the season? Staff also said they don’t receive any money for my golf reservation through your site, so they won’t acknowledge or give consideration to adjusting my reservation, I paid for four but only had two golfers, not a bargain!

Hidden gem

Unique layout with challenging features and narrow fairways. My favorite cousin to play I've found in Mchenry County. Very friendly and accommodating staff. No fancy bells and whistles with the carts, just good old fashioned golf.

If you book a tee time with a hot deal on the Golf Now app, don't even dream about replays.

If you book a tee time with a hot deal on the Golf Now app, don't even dream about replays. The golf course's website clearly states that replay prices are $25 for 18 holes and $15 for 9 holes. However, when we said we wanted to replay, the staff member said that they do not give discounts to people who booked with a hot deal on Golf Now. I have been using Golf Now for several years, and I have never been discriminated against in price when replaying at any golf course just because I booked at a cheaper price through Golf Now. I felt very uncomfortable that I had to face discrimination when using Golf Now.
