Joe was in great shape!! It played well even thonit rained all day the day before & was drizzling when My Group of 28 Tee Off yesterday. The rough was not to high could find your ball the fairways was in excellent shape. Greens rolled well even have sand in the traps now I see. Jimmy Chess & Staff have done an Excellent job w Joe Louis. Look forward to bringn the Group back out to play again before season over.
Great Day
From checking in with Angelika through the round what a great day. Course in superb condition and staff on top of their game. Great course great people. Kudos to Jimmie and the whole staff.
Nice course with fun layout and good greens
I like Joe Lewis it’s 6300 yrds from the white tees and has a fun layout. The pace of play can be slow but people are friendly and will let singles
Play though.
The greens are some of the best in the area The bunkers have good sand and it’s a fun layout for a reasonable price to bad it’s 30 miles from my house
Great course!
Had a wonderful day.
Course is challenging and fun to play. It is in great shape! Will definitely be back.
Bad Condition
Course is in very rough condition. Huge puddles in all the bunkers, and if you dodge the water you are hitting from hard ground. Fairways destroyed. Greens are in alright shape. It's not that expensive but still not worth the money in the shape it's in.
Joe Louis
Course is a great value. Fair course that allows recovery if I spray it around. Pace of play is good.
Joe Louis "Champ" course
I was surprised how much I enjoyed playing this course. It is in the middle of the a run down area but the course is well groomed and has its challenges. I will likely come back to play again. Staff was really accommodating and pace of play was perfect, never ran into any group in front or behind me.
Golf
Beautiful layout, greens. Improving every day. Thanks
Solid course
For the money, this course plays well. Long and challenging but not outrageous. Course was in decent condition minus the bunkers. What’s up with city courses have concrete traps? But a fun track regardless!
5 hour + round
This is my 2nd time playing at Joe Louis the Champ. We played as a 4some, with a tee time at 8AM on Saturday morning. The round took over 5 hours with only 4 or 5 groups having teed off before us. We actually were not even able to tee off until 815 because of the slow groups. Multiple groups ahead of us were hitting multiple balls off the tee, and no ranger came out to move them along. A ranger did come by and say that there was one slow group that his "manager" would be speaking to, but it honestly only got slower after this incident. On the turn, there were FOUR groups on the par 4 10th hole.
I asked one of the rangers what the delay and slowdown was, and his only response was "people are getting food". To have 4 groups on a par 4 should be a signal to any club that things are moving far too slowly, but he made no effort to help move things along.
I golf around 2-3 times per week, and because of this experience, myself and my friends will never golf at Joe Louis again. I would also never recommend the course to a friend because of the pace of play issue.
Friendly help
Thanks, Jimmy for correcting my forest preserve golf card, as you know when I tried to reserve a Tee Time the system would not recognize me and required a call to the club house to reserve time. Now that’s fixed and I got a great Tee Time.
Friendly staff
The people in the clubhouse are very friendly and happy to help you. I messed up the day of my tee time, got to the course a day late, and the woman working the counter took the time to get me a refund for the round my foursome missed the day before. Who does that, nobody that works at Fountain Hills that’s for sure!
