“I play at Billy C all the time. (Often little to no wait for a walk-in (pre covid)). No sand, some water, mostly straight decent layout and very friendly environment. They take pretty good care of the greens, fairways and rough are a good length. Too much or too little rain can be a factor, especially considering they can only water the greens (nothing they can do when the fairways get dry or the stream floods out 5,”

“Wonderful thing about this golf course is how challenging the holes are. After the great rains on the NASCAR weekend, the water element is particularly challenging. My parents enjoy having the chance to mix it up with more rigorous turf bc skills show up when a course is not always predictable.”

“Course is a budget forest preserve course. Itu2019s great for what it is. Pace of play is abysmal waiting for near 20 minutes at each hole from 5-9. Love the course but donu2019t know if Iu2019ve ever had a good experience on it.”

“Perfect 9 hole course! You can use your driver on most holes, the greens have some slope to them which makes this course a little challenging. Very well kept!”

“Great course for someone like me that has been golfing a few weeks now. Definitely enjoyed this 9 hole course. Carts are $12 per person. You can book a tee time online on their website.”

“Decent for early year, casual course, sort of compact, but super convenient from downtown”

“Great 9 hole, par 35 course on the northwest side of Chicago. I can usually walk the course in about 1.5/2 hours and almost never encounter slow play in the mornings. Of note, there are no sand bunkers on the course and no par 5s. Generally, the greens, tee boxes, and fairways are in very good condition. The rough is appropriately challenging for the course's difficulty level. The course was just aerated in early Oct”
