Crane's Landing at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
Crane's Landing Golf Club is the centerpiece of Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Designed by George Fazio, the course winds across 110 acres of preserved woodlands. It is a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary that offers stunning views of the Des Plaines River nearby. At just over 6,300 yards, the golf course is not particularly lengthy but it still offers some formidable challenges. Water is a prominent feature of the course with ponds and a winding river coming into play on 12 holes. The greens are small and raised and the sculpted fairways are tightly lined with mature trees, demanding accuracy off the tee. Crane's Landing Golf Club's back nine is especially difficult thanks to the river, which runs along the entire left side of the 13th hole and also appears on no. 17, the course's longest hole.

Course in bad shape
Course is in pretty bad shape. Ground is hard, it’s like walking in cement. Lots of weeds on the fairway as as as on the tee boxes. Ground on the tee box is so hard, I needed a hammer to put in my tee. I played this course before the pandemic, hoping that it has gotten better but Not! Too bad.
Very Depressing
This used to be a nice course with GPS carts, well maintained fairways and rough, clubhouse bar, beverage cart. It now looks like it has been abandoned. The course was barely being maintained, rough had clover and crabgrass everywhere. There was grass growing in the fairway bunkers. Some parts of the course were closed off. Only minimal staff to keep course running. The clubhouse is not open and no food or beverage. I would not be surprised if this course closes within a year or so.
Shame on Marriott
We waited more than 20 minutes to get our carts. Both carts died within 4 holes and had to be replaced. The carts were dirty and beat up. Course needs serious attention. Its a shame Marriott let the place go down, It's a Fazio course and a great piece of property. No bereave cart - no food. Marriott you need some serious help!
Needs work
The course was in very poor condition, especially the teas. There was only one person from the course that I saw no marshals and that person was inside the clubhouse. For the money they charge you would expect better course and amenities. Golf carts need updating to
Poor choice
Poor staff if any
No starter
90 degrees no cart girl
No GPS
Course totally overgrown
Spent too much time looking for balls
Fairway rough way to long
Course is not maintained at all, besides mowing. No staff no ranger/ Marshall. Groups of seniors moving at a snail’s pace. Will never play again.
Grass off of Fairway was too deep, needed to be cut.
A great lay-out destroyed by poor maintenance
This course has a great layout. Holes 7, 9 and 11 are really challenging. And they are totally ignoring the course and does the absolute minimum to keep it functioning. As you drive in, you are greeted with numerous deep pot holes. The clubhouse is a joke. The building is painted dark brown - possibly to avoid further painting. Putting green is a joke. The nets for practice are there but not usable. Tee boxes have not been repaired for years . Rough areas are overgrown, with extraneous weeds and grass, The fairways and greens are mowed, but look pathetic. AND THEY CALL IT A GOLF COURSE ?
Water Everywhere, Staff Nowhere
On the front 9 I lost two balls into the water and had to take a relief drop. The problem is that both of those balls WERE IN THE CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. The balls I'd not lost to fairway water hazards had to be frequently moved, dropped onto a surface that was not partially covered in 1/2 to 1 inch of water.
They are having trouble staffing the course too. There was one employee in the pro shop and I saw one course marshal one time. They have no staff for Starter, Food & Beverage.
