Springbrook Golf Course sits next to Dragon Lake in Dupage County Forest Preserve, boasting some of the finest views of all the open space and trails Naperville has to offer. The course is a local favorite that is both challenging and playable. It's tougher and also considered more scenic that Naperville's other municipal course, Naperbrook. The rough can be a challenge to get out of and there are also strategically placed bunkers lurking along the undulating greens. It's a golf course that will test all aspects of your game but it's not overly difficult for high handicappers. Players of all skill levels can approach it with confidence. In addition to the golf course, Springbrook also has a practice facility that includes a natural turf range, two practice putting greens, and a short-game area with bunkers.

They did a great job repositioning the putting green and driving range area . Sandtrap's still could use better drainage, very difficult. Nice amenities in clubhouse !

My new home course

Love this course. Played 9 holes on an odd Wednesday afternoon. Arrived at 3:50PM and was walking down the 1st fairway to sum up my approach shot at 4:00PM. I should preface this and say I am attributing the weather conditions of that day to the pace of play - wet, hardly anyone there, otherwise you cannot get near this place on a weekend.

This is a mature course, but well kept and manicured. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, collar, and greens all in good condition despite the conditions and the amount of play the course receives. The trees give you something to aim your tee shot, and to curse on your approach shot.

This course is somewhat challenging, with fairway and green side bunkers all in play. You will find this course difficult if you have a hard time shaping a shot from right to left, or have trouble leaving the beach. However, fairways are moderately wide, so a lay up or a tee show with a hybrid or iron will give you some good options.

All-in-all. I like this course and will be back soon.

Course is set up well to be challenging for all levels of player.

Course was in very good shape. Greens had nice undulation and were in good shape as well. pace of play was okay with only a couple holes that we had to wait. Pins placement made for some fun and challenging shots.

This course had some difficult holes that required accuracy off the tee and precise approach shots. Course was in decent condition given the time of year. I would definitely play here again.

Great Spring Day during Winter for Golf

Nearly 70 degrees in the middle of February - how can anyone complain! The course was in very good condition despite not having been touched since late fall. Greens were a bit long, but still rolled fairly true once you got used to the slowness. Naperville Park District should consider steps to reduce goose population on course during winter as a means to eliminate or reduce excessive goose droppings throughout.

Only worth it on a good Price

I hadn't played here yet because they always want $60+. I don't have a problem paying that much for a good round of golf, but usually if I am going to pay that much, I have other courses I prefer to play. I got a deal as a single filling out a 4-some, so I wanted to check it out. Not great. Course is not groomed nearly as good as most courses in that $65+ price range. Also, we waited on almost every shot. It was a Saturday, but not my kind of golf. Too slow, and normal rate is priced about $10-15 too high.
Front 9 is pretty open, back 9, much tougher. Big greens, stay below the hole.

My Experience!

The people were great and the course once again gave me a hard time. I am determined to do better at Springbrook as I have NEVER broken 100 there, but then again, I am not a great golfer.

I like the layout and adulation and plan to get back again within a few weeks. GREAT Deal offered by Golf Now and hope they offer it again sometime soon!

Better than I thought it would be

This was the first time I played springbrook and was very pleased. I thought the layout was nice with a mix of doglegs and some slightly elevated greens. Overall I would say the course is very playable with many possibilities to shoot low. The greens were very clean and ran true. I was surprised at how few ball marks were on most of the greens. The only thing I would complain about is the bunkers could use more sand. I thought about playing this course for years but always went elsewhere. I will play it again.

DONT GO!!!

Went last Wednesday and played nine holes in 4 hours! Yes FOUR HOURS! there were 4 foursomes waiting at each tee. went again today, Sunday, after checking online to see how open it was. All kinds of open tee times. Went and played as a single. Again,,,,, slow. Two foursomes waiting at the tee on the 3rd ahead of me. Marshall rides up to ask if I can wait on the two people behind me and play with them. Would be fine if it weren't already screwed up in front of me!!!!! Paid for 18 holes twice. Finished 9 the first time and 3 holes the second. Will NEVER GO BACK!!.. shame because the little of the course that I did see looked nice.
