Odyssey Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Odyssey Country Club is a challenging layout that was designed by Harry Bower and two-time U.S. Open winner Curtis Strange. Strange won in 1988 and 1989, putting him in the company of only six others in the century-long history of the U.S. Open. His influence is apparent in all the strategic elements of the golf course as well as the risk-reward options. This demanding layout is not exactly beginner friendly. Staying on the fairways is crucial or your ball will be met with deep rough. Water is also a prominent presence on the golf course. Twelve holes either feature a water hazards or play along the water's edge. Odyssey Country Club's 16th hole is memorable for its tricky island green, which naturally draws comparisons to the famous 17th at TPC Sawgrass.

Conditions lacking compared to past rounds
I generally play this course a few times per year as I don’t live close. It’s a good meeting point for a friend & I too get out. This Fall Day was above average temps so the course was busy....which turned into a 4 1/2 hour round....we waited on most every hole. The course conditions weren’t real good, greens didn’t look to have been cut for a few days, many ball marks and traps haven’t been raked for a long time. I realize the year has been tough with weather/periods of drought & COVID making it hard to fund course maintenance. The rate was fair($30 for 18 with cart on a Fri Afternoon) for the conditions and Its not like I won’t play here again....just hoped for a little better conditions.
10-10
Great facility. Course was very well kept. Was able to order food and have it waiting for us in between the two rounds of nine holes. Really enjoyed it thank you.

Amazing Time to Golf
Golfing at Odyssey was an amazing adventure was an amazing time. For a first timer the overall layout and presentation was above and beyond anything i could have imagined. Besides an average about a 15 minute delay in pace of play, no sign of "beer cart" and some what appears to be an almost tilled effect on the early greens the course is absolutely a favorite now. The layout, no hole made you feel on top of another such as playing alongside another hole so closely compared to other courses. When addressing being a first timer i was heavily welcomed into the grounds and given a full description on how the course will play and run. Will be definitely scheduling again in the near future!!!
Thank you for your review, u314160096589. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Odyssey Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great course
This is one of my favorite courses to play in the Chicagoland area. It’s challenging and in great shape. The staff is really friendly and money from your round benefits Veterans.
Try it - you will definitely not be disappointed! It’s a 40 minute drive for me. There are a lot of closer courses, but I’ve played this one 6 times this season and hope to get many more rounds in before winter hits.

Couse needs maintenance
Course playing ok tee boxes need work. A few fair ways held water and need some work too.
Need to make sure only foursomes are out not sixsomes!
soggy
It is a great course but numerous fairways were very wet in the middle of a hot summer.
Nice course. Fairly forgiving. Pretty. Greens had just been slit cut, which was unfortunate. Guy in the pro shop seems to struggle with on line bookings.
Nice course - slow play
Good layout. Worth it if you get a deal. Pace of play was painfully slow. Too many newbie "Covid" golfers who think they are tour pros as they wait to hit par 5's in 2 from 300 yards out. So ridiculous. Spend some time on the range and take a lesson. Also, learn proper etiquette with regards to other patrons and the course. Maybe a ranger doing something would help.
Very slow to pace of play. you need a rangier to push the play or more interval time between player and player.
