Elwood Golf Links

Greens were in GREAT condition.
Only thing I would have them focus on are the Blue tee boxes. Needed some maintenance . There were some over hanging trees between blue tees and whites that made it a bit more challenging to hit off the tee.

A great course friendly staff I especially like the back nine to me it’s a little more challenging than the front but both are maintained very well I try to play at least a couple of times a week

The front nine are not the nicest holes, but they get you warmed up for the back 9 which are incredible. For the money you spend for the course it’s amazing. Workers are always extremely nice and fun to interact with. New favorite course

Front 9 was ok pretty flat and wide open, back 9 was a lot more challenging, I’ll be back for more.

Nice course. The front 9 was just like any municipal course (close tee boxes/hole locations/side by side fairways). The back nine was really surprising! Totally different course. Great holes/views. Wide open and challenging. Totally worth a play

Great old front nine and challenging newer back. Greens we're very good. Firm and dry. Enjoyed it.

A great day in October on the golf course, This was the second time that I was able to play This particular course . I found the staff to be polite and professional also the clubhouse and restroom facilities were immaculate yes I would recommend this chorus to anyone I personally found the back nine to be more challenging than the front if I were to make a suggestion it would be to furnish A small map of the court layout or add a few directional as for a first time users it can be confusing, I feel the fairways tea boxes and greens are very well maintained there are a lot of sand traps but that only adds to the challenge thank you Elwood or doing a great job bringing this course back up to power

Challenging course, recently reopened, nice layout, a couple greens still not matured and fairways were dry because of lack of rain. But a challenging layout at a great price. This could be a great course with some TLC.

Course is getting there, hopefully these downpours will stop and it just rains. Back was very good, unique with hills, play it first if you can...the front is a little boring but a good warm up.

The greens were the saving factor. They only had the back nine open which stunk but it was in pretty good shape. The scenery isn’t much. The traps were well placed. Not a bad practice round course if you are close. Don’t travel to play this course.

Didn't know the course has gone under. Only back nine is playable and that is not in good shape. Paid for 18 just played nine and took my loss. Terrible

I'm not really sure what is going on with this place. Any GolfNow tee time you book can't be trusted at all. I had an 8:03 tee time, and no one showed up to the facility until 8:10. I had to prove my rate with the GolfNow confirmation email, which they accepted. The old front nine is now literally a cow pasture, but I went out all by myself to a newer nine built only a few years ago, it's a pretty nice layout. I played that nine twice, and got all the way around it once before anyone else showed up. The greens are in good shape, but they are teeny tiny, so it's challenging. They apparently only mow once a week or less by the time September rolls around. The grass on the fairways, tees and greens were way too long. If you want to get in a little practice round, this is a good place. If you want to have a serious round, I'd go elsewhere because you really don't know what to expect on any given day here.

Rounded 9holes twice from numbers of 10 hole to 18hole..

GolfNow info incorrect! Course had no info? Pro Shop said they weren't notified, but honored reservation based on email confirmation! Fortunately, there was no-one on course, so we got off with no problem & played quickly! Enjoyable layout with thick rough!! Bring lots of balls!

Course converted to just a 9 hole course. Upkeep was weak. Ownership and the direction this course will go is uncertain. At $10 for the round, was priced appropriately.

This course provides each player two distinct types of courses. The first nine holes are relatively flat with nice greens. The back nine is designed in the "Links" style, giving the player a more difficult challenge. The cart paths need work, but the course was in very good shape. It was an enjoyable round of golf.

Two of my friends and I played Cattails on a Saturday afternoon. We booked the tee time through Golf Now on Thursday for $10 each, 18 holes including cart! One of the best deals I have ever seen! The man working at the pro shop was one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He was personable, he gave us free bags of tees, and he added water to the unique golf ball/golf club cleaners mounted on the gas golf carts. The feel of the course when you first get there is very casual considering the old clubhouse, dress code, and the practice range. The "range" is simply 5 or 6 slots in between 2 fairways; there are no pins or target areas. The front nine is a links style course from the 20's with one water hazard, a limited number of sand traps, some trees lining the fairway but no heavy woods. The fairways on the front 9 are pretty forgiving, but the grass was high. Some of the greens and tee off boxes on the front nine need more attention. We stopped in the pro shop for snacks after the front nine. The selection is very limited. The back nine is the hiddem gem of this course and is what makes the value so great. The back nine, which is a much more modern, broader layout is worlds apart from the front nine. The fairways and greens were in great shape and the tee boxes were not as chewed up as the front nine. Cornfields and heavy woods line some of the fairways, and there are also much more sandtraps, but there are few hazards otherwise. Overall, the course (particularly the back nine) is a great value. There are nicer courses in the area, but Cattails is a perfect course for an average golfer trying to build their game.

Front 9 was nothing special... But when you go to the back, it's like going to a different course! My group and I agreed, if we could go to Cattails and play the back 9 twice from different tees it would be a great day!
