Length 6290 yards
Slope 130
Rating 71.1

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.

No help for the handicapped.

Golf Carts are not allowed in parking lot, even for the handicapped. I was made to carry cart bag and walk from parking lot to driveway past pro shop and onto first tee cart path. There was no accommodation made. Reprehensible.

Cranes baby

Good challenging course with nice wildlife (birds) on it.
Make sure you hit it straight because the.tight fairways demand it. Greens do not break as much as they appear, but then again that could be my putting, lol.
Overall great course to play. My 2-some finished in 3 hrs.

could be so much more

play was very slow despite the best efforts of the staff after my group complained about the slow pace. 18 at Saturday midmorning took 5.5 hrs. course conditions are bad, alot of dry spots in rough and burned out spots on the greens. could be so much more if it was properly maintained. don't see myself returning anytime soon

Better than last time

This was the worst course I played at the end of last year. It was much better this time but the 1st cut is so long that balls just off the fairway are easily lost. It is a very narrow and angled course and few times where you want to use a driver. Play it smart not long.

Wet

Course needs some love. Rough is overgrown and covered in weeds, fairways had some standing puddles and swampy areas. With a little rejuvenation this place would be fantastic.

Could be better

You can score low on the front. Bring fairway woods to score on the back. Course plays longer than 6300 yards. Greens real good.

Fall golf

The conditions and cost were on par for fall season. Pace of play was good. Some greens were rough but to be expected in the time of the year.

Not really a resort type course. IMO

Tech deficient

Course is average but staff is pleasant. Carts do not have any technology so difficult to know distances. Especially difficult when wet and carts only on cart path so don't see markers other than 150 yard stick.
