What a turnaround!

After being closed and unmaintained for awhile, this course is back and better than before. Fairways are nicely cut and the greens are meticulous. Overall, this course is in really nice shape.
Still the same layout. Hills, blind greens, and forgiving fairways. I think the higher level golfer could find a challenge or two here.
One bone picking is the lack of yardage markers in the fairways. You need to guess yourself or use a tool. But we did our best guessing, which didn't end up too bad.

Hilly...

Beautiful course. Very hilly so you definitely need the course guide on the score card if you've never played there.

Secret gem in Northern Lake County

First off it was a great morning for golf on Sunday 5/22/22. Laura and crew were up early making sure everything was ready for the early crowd. Clean carts, groomed fairways, watered greens and a friendly yet attentive ranger made for a great round of golf.

Worth it for the drive

Although it’s about an hour from Chicago, I think taking a drive out here is worth it. The elevation changes were a great experience which is different than a lot of Illinois courses. It just rained hard the day before and the course was actually more dry than I expected. The only con was the amount of worms on the greens. I’ve never seen so many live worms on greens but they were still rolling true and weren’t that slow even with the rain. I’ll be back here for sure in the summer.

Perfect Neighborhood Course

We live close to Fox Lake Country Club so makes it easy to hop on the course. Nice course layout, most holes are a little tight, lots of mature trees. My only complaint are the greens and surrounding rough. The greens including the putting green (which is very small) could use a little maintenance.
We will go back - as it is a perfect neighborhood course.

Fantastic course

Love playing here .price point and condition of the greens and fairways are well worth it .a few blind green and tight fairways adds some difficulty to the course for those seeking a challenge and open fairways as well for the higher handicapped golfers.
