| Poorly maintained, camps have lost charm as they switched programs, and always feels weird standing on what used to be a dump! Fairways and greens are never repaired and former great \_miniture golf\_ area was _let go._ Not challenging and I strongly wouldn_t recommend it to any golfer. |

| great for a quick half round if you show up at an off time. if you find yourself working around the area, it is pheasable to play it during lunch. always in good shape, and accomidating to most levels of golfers. only critisism, it is very short. if you are on, you should score very low. |

| Good course if you can only play 9. Short, links style with narrow fairways. |

| Tremendous for a 9 hole course. There are many courses in Chicago that could learn from Willow Hill_s conditions. Great fairways and good greens. If there is only time for 9, this is the one. |

| Very Scenic view of the city. Excellent course well maintained. Lots of mounds and yellow grass. Want to kepp the ball on the fairway nor very close to it. |

| Nice nine hole that has some spectacular views since it is primarily on top of a hill and is a links style of course... Fairways and greens were in good condition. I recommend taking the 2 1/2 hours to play... |

| This has to be the best nine hole course in the area. The layout is links style (a la Harborside), the fairways are in great condition (the course is almost brand new), the views are incredible and the cost is very low ($13 during the week). Highly recommended. |

| Excellent course. Really enjoyed playing it. If you make a mistake, your ball will likely land on a mound which means a sidehill, uphill or downhill lie. Not impossible lies but challenging. Greens were in great shape. Being on top of a hill made for quite a nice scenic view of the city. I really wish it were 18, not just 9 holes. |

| Course is in the best shape of any in the area. Course is short but accuracy counts. Greens are usually fast. If the wind is blowing 10mph at home it's blowing 30mph here. The only bad thing about it is the pace of play. It should take 1:30-1:45 to play this 9 holes but count on 2:30 or more. If you get behind the ladies or the students(with instructors) plan on a 3:00hr round. For this reason I avoid it like the plague on the weekends. Also the is almost constant watering(because of the wind drying out the grass) and it is irritating to have to pace your swing so that the sprinkler won't come around and soak you. |
