I played in the early morning and the course was in excelent shape and a pleasure to play. For the price it is an excelent value. The Greens are true and the fairways are a pleasure to hit from. Will love to play again.

Seniors get no break at this course. You would expect better as there are plenty of them living in the area.

Great track for price! Greens are fast and smooth. Only 4 hours and 10 minute rounds! I enjoyed myself the entire day. Staff was very personable and helpful.

Enjoyable course where shooting a decent score is achievable, but offers enough interesting shots to make it challenging. Only complaint was an extremely rude ranger.

Reasonably priced. Shotmakers course, where you should leave the driver in the bag on 6 of the 14 non-par 3s. Don't give away the hole on most putts, there's very little break. Cheap Golf.

Anybody else think that Jose Casey is a little full of himself? "I can't complain about birdies on 1 & 2" What a choch.

A nice course. Fairways were in decent shape, greens were OK. This course is nothing special, but it is a fair course. It features mature trees and some water. The $41 green fee was somewhat high, but overall the value was there.

Course maintained well for the amount of play it receives. New pace clocks installed have increased pace of play. Most rounds there are around 4 hours. Course is not long but trees, water and subtle greens make it a challenge. Pros there are courteous and offer great instruction on grass practice range.

Additional Perks: Natural Grass Driving Range; Wonderful Instructors Available for Series or Single Lessons; Can't beat the "Fried Food" Buffet at the 19th Hole!

This course is not even close to being worth the money. Greens were simple(no breaks)and the fairways were brutal. Tons of damaged fairways that have big patches of dirt in the middle of them. This is the worst, condition-wise course that I've played in chicagoland

Very challenging course, narrow fairways, lot of trees, but nice water shots. Under construction so lots of dust and dirt on the course with loud disruptive trucks.

Great Course with excellent greens!! Can't argue about anything after birdies on #1 & 2. Also, plays to a par of 70 and the two par 5's are the 1 & 2 handicappers. Great course for shotmaking.

DOG TRACK!! 2 TEMP GREENS AND $40 TO WALK. INSULTING!

The course always has puttable and somewhat deceptive greens. The construction of numerous tees and the two temp greens make you think it is not worth the $'s We had nobody holding us up, played 25 holes for 36.00 and it was a 3.5 hour round. We got lucky!!!

Was great to play. Lots of water and plenty of trees. However, I won't play there again because Pat DiMarco lives in this town.

Greens in great shape, very fast. Played there twice and was able to walk 18 in a little over 4 hours(during the week). Keep an eye out for a guy on course by the name of Ty Webb Keller.

Wilmette Golf Course Addtional Information & History

Wilmette Golf Course: Located in Wilmette, Illinois, the18-hole Wilmette Golf Course sits on what was originally the site of a dairy farm. In 1922, three men—one of them, its designer, Joseph Roseman—bought the land and transformed it into what was then known as Playmore Golf Club. An inventor, Roseman is credited with the invention of the hollow roller mower. In 1924, Playmore became the Wilmette Golf Course. A master plan developed by Dick Nugent has served as the course's guide for numerous recent improvements. Today’s Wilmette Golf Course offers just enough water and bunkers to encourage a strategic game of golf. The narrow fairways are very close to mature elms and oaks, but the greens are recognized as some of the fastest in the area, so putting is a pleasure. Wilmette Golf Course offers four sets of tees to assure a challenging game of golf for players of all skill levels. Wilmette prides itself on its accessibility to the public. The course offers both resident and nonresident memberships, but there is generally public play availability for golfers looking for a reasonably priced game of golf.
