Overview
Back in 1986 when it opened, Pine Meadow won our Best New Public Course award. Today, this northern Illinois layout continues to provide intriguing design variety at a reasonable rate. The well-bunkered track (there are 86 in total) opens with a playable front nine followed by a more challenging back nine with water and elevation changes. The course was formerly ranked on our 100 Greatest Public list, reaching as high as No. 28 in 2003-2004.

“Move this away from Chicagoland and it would be the best course for miles."

“This course appears as a parkland style golf course, with an older style clubhouse that you would expect at a club that only entails golf. It offers a mix of some challenging holes where you have to navigate water and wetlands, five holes with water, and some from the tips can offer a challenge even to the better golfer. Overall, the par 5's are not too difficult and allow opportunities for birdies and there is a good mix of short par 4's and a few long ones, like hole three that tips out at 492 yards. The general course conditions are good, but I would expect a course with this layout and reputation would have better overall conditions from tee to green."

“Excellent public golf option with two completely different 9’s front and back. Front 9 is a warm up until you hit the back with lots of water, elevation changes and design variety throughout."
