Good: Friendly staff, good restaurant, course lay-out good.
Need Attention: Tee Boxes are in really bad shape. Major fixing needed....... Ball washers are totally dry.
Almost a 4 star
Overall Orchard Valley pleases but does have a few faults. One of the very best senior rates - $40 on weekdays. Sand traps are mostly a miss and very few people even rake them.....just too lazy....and the golfing gods will get them for that. Tee boxes really need renovation. You always are trying to find that one place where your feet aren't in a divot. Fairways have lots of divots but not as much as high end Bowes Creek did. Greens are so so......very speedy downhillers.....however observed several playing partners putts take a hop or two. With the drought hard fast conditions.
Restrooms with running water mid-way through each nine. On course nurse service. Entertaining layout to play and it's great to see the halfway house open by the range and full restaurant service in the club house. Good patio for beverages post round. Locker rooms/showers in the basement.
Much of my deduction results from of the preponderance of slow play at this course.....even during the week.....and it's been an issue for many years now. Observing the clientele they are now drawing - pace will get even worse as this season progresses. We were generally waiting on the front nine on every shot.....but then the weather got iffy on the turn and a few groups probably quit.
Recommend but always gird for some very stupid slow players with no care for the course whatsoever.
Great layout
One of my favorite courses and I play here several times a year. There are several great holes that will challenge you. The course gets lots of play so there is some wear and tear on the tee boxes. The clubhouse is so-so. Sit on the patio for the post round beer. Playing for under $50 during the week is a great deal!
Always a great time
It is very hard to find fault with this course. I play it several times a year, can’t think of a time it let me down. In fact I have a lot of “most memorable “ while playing here. As a 11-12 hcp golfer I can be challenged to the max playing from the regular tees. Yeah go ahead and try the tiger tees!!! Don’t be afraid to back down after playing 4 holes.
I think it is still one of the top 10 in the Chicago metro public.
Beautiful
This is one of the prettiest courses in the are and the back nine will challlenge any golfer
Nice Course
Really NICE cousre. Great Staff! Somewhat slow pace is biggest knock. Otherwise, highly recommend
Challenging but Fair
This is a great layout. Reason I say this is because it is fairly open but lots of challenging shots if you do not chose the right lines. Take advantage of the first hole and get ready for the rest of the course.
It has a driving range so you can warm up and see how your ball is flying that day.
Rake the traps!!!
Beautiful weather ALL week and bunkers weren’t touched by any staff and no rakes on the course for players to use, either
