Good day at the course

I have played Old Orchard many times before and am not always impressed with the pace of play or course conditions. This time, both were excellent. It is a great course when it is both maintained and managed. I will be back soon and hope I have a similar experience.

Greens need work

Used to be better, as the years went on it slowly started to go down In quality of fairways, greens, tees, and such. Spongy tees, lots of geese poop, slowest greens in the midwest chicago area thats forsure. Almost as slow of greens as a free 5 hole course near me, that should tell you all you need to know.

Solid Muni

Golf now senior rate 45.00 per player for an above average municipal track. Yes greens are slow and fuzzy but generally in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes were fine too. Pace of play 4:10 not bad. They have a beverage cart but missed the 1/2 house (maybe only open weekends?) Mark & Doug do a great job getting a lot of mileage out of this facility that is obviously in need of employees but the employees they have are great! So pack your patience and swing by OOCC for a fun round of golf at a reasonable price!

First Time Playing

Played this course with 4 players today. Unfortunately, there were several things that made this course a little bit of a bummer. First of all, the tee boxes were in bad condition. Quite literally divots in every spot, and goose droppings all over. Speaking of Geese, they were everywhere, even on the greens. Some holes had very narrow fairways as well and confusing layouts. A lot of water on the course but again not well maintained. The halfway house was the highlight of the course, had a full bar and grill with various lunch options. the cart lady was pretty easy to find. Greens and fairways were fine. Some better care for the course would go a very long way and definitely make this course much better. $87 a person is steep in my opinion as well.

Course is tough; fairways are very poor.

The course is very challenging and lots of water.

The fairways are rough and there is almost no roll or bounce to it.

Some holes were better than others.

3/5 experience due to the course conditions.

Solid course, good value, nice staff

This course was fun to play. Overall layout is moderately challenging with some really tough holes, but this should not dissuade an average golfer from playing here. Staff is always friendly. Pace of play was the only downside as the group ahead was playing excessively slow and did not let us pass. The round took over 4 and a half hours. Full bar/food service at the turn was awesome but they could use a cart girl/server for refreshments while playing. I will be back.

Nice little course

Pretty nice little course. Short but tight, greens are nice and also a little small to make it more challenging. A bit slow for such a short course.
