Great Weekend Rates

Tee time: 11:20 on a Saturday ($35). Drove 40 minutes up from Chicago as this was the best Saturday deal before noon less than an hour away from the city. The pro shop attendant gave me the course rate, which is $35 after 11 on the weekends instead of the GolfNow rate ($49) that I had reserved for - so that was a plus! The first few holes aren't all too special, but after hole #5 things start to get fun and that only gets better on the back nine. Conditions are solid with the exception of a few greens. At $35 on weekends, Veteran's Memorial is a good choice for a value round!

Nice Track

0640 Tee Time, as a twosome behind a foursome we got the round done before 1030-sub 4 hr round on Sunday Morning. Nicely kept, nothing too tough for any mid-capper to play.

Great course that’s well maintained

We played the back 9 after thinking we would be rained out. The course was well laid out and maintained well but very wet. I was actually surprised the let us play.

No carts slowed the group down quite a bit.

Other than the groundskeeper cutting the fringe on 11 as we played it was a great outing

$21 for 9 on this course was a good price.

The course itself is long
The greens are challenging
And it feels like there is sand everywhere.

Worth the trip up. Will play it again.

solid track for 35$ or less with cart

Fun layout. With some forgiveness off tee. Course was bit overgrown (probably from the amount of rain we’ve got). Golfed a Sunday morning 6:25.

Great value

Good time. Windy day, so there was debris on the greens. Other than that, can’t complain. Great course. Nice layout.
