| For the price and location this course is decent. I played here the last two weekends. The pace was a little slow on both occasions. The greens would be in fine shape if other golfers were a little more conscientious and repaired their divot marks. Also, watch out for the \_sand\_. It_s not the light fluffy stuff. Nice staff and convenience are enough for me to play here again. |

| just played the course today and i was quite impressed. We saw an amazing amount of attractive chicks playing in front of us which gave us some extra incentive to play with our balls. Great course though! |

| Very pleasantly suprised by and challenged by this course. Greens need help, but layout can be tricky. Price nice and always golfed with nice folks. Overall: Play it. |

| Surprisingly, this is not a bad little course for short change... |

| For a park district course, it is very good. Fairways are hard and getting a good lie is fortunate. Big, high-lipped bunkers give it a country club feel. Some big, double-tiered (#8 is triple tiered) make for strategic iron play and sound putting. Be sure to call ahead as this play gets very busy. |

| Very nice course right in the middle of the city. Well kept, but the greens and bunkers are hard to play. Not a good course for beginners. |

| For a park district course it's well maintained (thanks, Kemper Mgt.). It's on the short side, but with some challenging holes (no water, lots of sand). Unfortunately it can be unbearably slow due to many par 3's and "beginning" golfers. It also leads to lots of unrepaired ball marks. Overall I was suprisingly impressed. |

| I've been playing this course for years. Ever since Kemper took over, it's so much nicer. It's a short 9, but challenging enough for most golfers. No water, but lots of sand & trees.#8 has a 3-tiered green that will make or break you. Can be busy!!! Call ahead. |

| As a "beginning golfer" referred to above, I will attest that this course is quite nice for the price. The staff is friendly, and the conditions are reasonable. A nice quick round in the middle of the city. |

| Not a bad little track. Generally gets very busy though. |
