COURSE OVERVIEW

The prairie winds that sculpt this Chicago-area layout create a links-like experience that's pure theater, with fescue-lined fairways and elevated greens that demand precise approach shots. Donald Ross-inspired bunkering punishes wayward drives while rewarding strategic positioning, particularly on the par-4 14th where a well-placed tee shot opens up a narrow green complex. At under $100 for weekend play, it's the rare public course that delivers championship conditioning without the country club pretense.
