SLOOOOOOOOW

They do nothing to maintain pace. A 5 hour round is NEVER acceptable let alone with a tee time before 8. The group in front of us arrived to the tee 3 minutes past their start time without shoes even on.

I know they need revenue but you are basically telling everyone else playing, we find this acceptable etiquette.

Impressive

Great course! Tee boxes were perfect. Didn't have to search around for a good standing spot.i hate when tee boxes are all "chewed" up. The size of the tee boxes allow for tees to moved to enough spots for them to recover.speaking of tee boxes, they have plenty to choose from. You can score well here if you play to your handicap as per tee suggestions. Most fairways are a must to hit since the sides slope off and sends your ball into the thick "cabbage". You will be lucky to find your ball.The bunkers are deep and thickness of sand is great!.the greens were spectacular not a mark on them. The included practice range is always great. also very large which made for great grass to hit off with plenty of targets. Do yourself a favor and play this spectacular course.

Excellent course

Greens had been aerated about 2 weeks prior to the round, but were mostly healed and running about 9.5-10 on the stimp. Rest of the course was in fantastic shape.

A great links layout

Bolingbrook is a great links style championship course. It's forgiving off the tee, but not always easy to score with the challenging greens, run off areas and bunkers.

My beef is the paid in full Golf Now reservation with no mention of the airated greens. Playing Bolingbrook is always a treat as I usually opt for more affordable rounds, and I was really disappointed the condition of the greens this time around.

Nice Course

Course is challenging and in great shape. Some of the greens are a bit to sloped, small and hard making it tough to hold proper approach shots.

Awfu

The course books 10 4 somes at the same time as the golf now price just because they don't like the cheaper rate golf now offers. So we played 9 holes in just over 3 hours. I will never play there again after the kid who cleaned my clubs told me they do it on purpose because of golf now.

Great amenities

Course in good shape. Greens very fast. More ballmarks than expected. Golfers should learn to lift their feet when walking on the green. Great amenities at the facility. Gps on carts was great. Staff very friendly. Restaurant atmosphere was great. I would recommend you play if you haven't before.

This course was remarkable. Fairways and greens were in great condition. We received complementary range balls just for playing, carts had GPS and water and ball and club washes in them, staff was friendly clearly knew a lot about golf. Great experience.

Pricey, but a great golf experience...

It's an expensive round by most measures, but you get what you pay for at Bolingbrook. Great facility.

Course tries to validate the price, but falls short -- Inconsistent Green Speeds.

Overall I would recommend trying this course once, just for the experience. However, I don't think I'll be going back unless maybe to play twilight rates.

Facility is very nice and course is very well maintained, but they keep the greens way too fast for the amount of wind that area gets. Ball was oscillating on almost every hole -- some 50 foot putts downwind or 15 footers uphill only needed a little tap, while 30 footers downhill only made it halfway.

Definitely a great play for a group scramble or event, but to play day in and day out there's much better value for the $$ elsewhere in Chicagoland -- ie Bowes Creek, Highlands of Elgin, Prairie Landing, etc.

Great Course

Great design. The greens were recovering from being aerated, but were still fairly fast. The rest of the course was in great shape. The weather, however, was awful. 52 degrees and 35 mph. wind.

Great course and friendly staff

Great staff! the starter made my day. I had a late lunch at the Nest ; excellent food and the bar tender was on top of things. We had general conversation about the course and the next thing you know I'm on the tee box. Great round and I donated a few ball to the course.
