“A classic Colt Allison design, kept in exceptional condition by one of the best superintendents in the county. Layout variety is good, although the par-3s are pretty similar except for #16. This is a tournament quality course with a long championship tradition (US Open, US Amateur) while still a great deal of fun to play. Clubhouse setting adds to the ambience and sets the tone for a very special day of golf if you have the opportunity to play. One of the more underrated courses in the northern suburbs of Chicago with surround courses like Shoreacres, Old Elm, Bob O'Link and Skokie nearby."

“The front 9 is as good of a test of golf as anywhere you want to compare it to. Risk/Reward abounds, and shot making is a must throughout the golf course. The greens are firm and fast but can be rewarding if known how to play. I would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone (especially those McDonald/Reynor fans)."

“A good conditioned private course that had two designers, neither of which did all 18 holes. Two different grasses as well. Routing not easy to follow for some holes."
