Highlands of Elgin
Played On 10/13/2017Another Nice Round
The greens have finally rebounded from the aeration from a number of weeks ago. Pace of play was not good but that is sort of normal. Also, not sure the golfers who play here but most know nothing about repairing a ball mark on the green or divot in the fairway...brutal. Also, rarely do golfers here exhibit any golf etiquette, such as letting a 2some play through...not good.
Course is always enjoyable outside these issues.
PGA WEST Greg Norman Course
Played On 10/08/2017Nice but could be better
Facilities are obviously top notch, but the course left a little to be desired for me. I guess I had high expectations. I played a couple of other courses that week and this course ranked at the bottom in terms of course condition, especially the greens. Overall nice and challenging layout. would try it again in the future.

Played On 09/20/2017Once again...greens only thing holding this back
Great track/layout and very friendly and accommodating staff. Greens were aerated 2 weeks prior and they were still pretty bad. Hoping for better greens coming out of this.
Blackstone Golf Club
Played On 09/05/2017Stepped Up Its Game
The last time I played this course the greens were all hacked up (last year?). This time they were very nice and rolled true. Layout is very good with quite a few challenging holes, Especially with the wind. Quite a few holes exposed to the wind and a number of them with trees as well. Tees were good as were the fairways. Since this is somewhat out in the middle of nowhere, I think the price, especially for a weekday was a bit high. All in I I want to go back and play it now.

Played On 08/22/2017Same review as before...good track, greens could be better
I bothers me that the people that golf this very nice course do not know how to replace a divot or repair a ball mark on the green. This is the only drawback to this place. Still recommend.
Highlands of Elgin
Played On 08/15/2017Nice track and worth a Deal Price
This track is a nice layout. Far different from most courses around here. Course was in good shape except for the greens. Pretty hacked up. Obviously not many golfers here know how to repair (or even attempt to repair) a ball mark. Greens still rolled true.
Had a tee time for a 3some and the course put a single with us, which I can take or leave, but then they make the single move everything from his cart into my cart. Have never seen that before in my life. Talk about cheapskates. Didn't really like that policy. Starter tried to justify by saying there would be too many people driving around out there and it would slow down play...just the opposite is true. The more carts the quicker any round should be.
All in all I recommend this course if you get a deal price like we did at $36 (+$4 on GolfNow for $40 total).
TPC Las Vegas
Played On 03/04/2015Worth the GolfNow discount
Got this for $125 and that was a good price. Tee boxes a little disappointing and a couple of the greens, but for the most part it was in excellent shape. Definitely helps to have played this before as I think I would shave at least 5 strokes off my score (shot 89) if I knew the layout better. TIPS...rather be short than long...wind impacts shots more than you think...greens are very tough to putt (ball seems to go away from the hole no matter which side you come from). Excellent practice area...get there early and use the facility for the money. Starter made us 2 independent singles share a cart, which I thought was pretty cheap of them considering what they charge out there. Most (almost all) courses I have played in my life allow singles to have their own cart.
Boulder Creek Golf Club - Coyote Run/Eldorado Valley
Played On 03/02/2015Hidden Gem for me
First time out this year since I live in Chicago area. Condition of the course was great. Tee boxes were nice and level. Greens and fairways were nice. Had to deal with a significant wind which is probably normal out there. Fair test of golf.
Marengo Ridge Golf & Country Club
Played On 10/18/2014Nice layout and great staff
The staff was very accomodating and the layout was fair but challenging at times. Some tight driving holes and plenty of trees. Would help to play here a second time to figure out how to manage your game on this course. Greens had been aerated 3 weeks prior and were OK. Value was excellent.
Orchard Valley Golf Course
Played On 7/8/2013Great deal for a nice course!
We payed only $30 to play this course and I had not played it in a couple of years. It was in very good shape and the layout is moderate to challenging. Quite a few shorter Par 4's but always with trouble. Lots of water and trees. Greens didn't look great but rolled very nice and held very nice as well. Great bargain!
South/East at Arrowhead Golf Club
Played On 6/19/2013From Goat Track to Gem!
I have lived in this area for many years. This place use to be a goat track back in the day. Over the years it has been improved, with the most recent improvements making this one of the best courses around. Greens were great, fairways were great, tee boxes were great, layout is challenging, but fair. Well worth the money...just don't tell anybody...I like the 3 hour and 15 minutes rounds!
Bowes Creek Country Club
Played On 8/15/2012Nice layout
