Challenging

I am new to gold and this cours really let you try out your clubs. Takes about 2 hours to play if you walk. Not much waiting so nice tee times.
Very nice surroundings and a well kept place.

Great place to golf

Everything was great, course was in great shape. They need rakes, ball washers, & sand on the carts to help keep the fairway decent.

Great 9 hole, we played twice

This was a fun 9 hole, park district course. It's very well maintained (given the recent rain) and has walking and driving carts. Any precision complaints about non-strict adherence to tee times seems to have been resolved as they were on top of it. When it comes to pacing, sometimes you'll get what we had where 2 in a cart were behind the 4 of us walking, but they were never on us enough to play through, so they skipped the main water hole. Not many on-site facilities for anything more than a restroom, but I don't know if that's different in non-COVID times.

Nice course

Play my worst round of the season. The course has a lot of trees and I for whatever reason found several of them. It's a challenging course but if I had one criticism it would be too much goose droppings. I walked with a cart and finished up with tires full of the droppings. Other than that this is a very nice course.

Another perfect day at Pottawatomi

I took my 13yr old son for a Sunday afternoon round and as always, the course was in great condition. The 3rd hole green was reopened after some renovation after the May flooding along the river, which was good to see. We did get stuck behind a 4-some of 20-somethings, out for the afternoon, but they let us play through. That did put us behind another 4-some with two moms and 2 pre-teens more intent on driving the carts then playing. My son and I weren't in a big hurry and the afternoon was BEAUTIFUL, so we just enjoyed the views and played when we could. We will certainly be playing the course again. Great layout, challenging holes, and scenic views. What else would you want for an afternoon with your son?!?

Pottawatomie on June 17,2020

One of the disappointing things about my round was that work was going on with several of the holes. The signature Hole No. 3 with the island green was reduced to an uninteresting hole with a temporary green while the island green was not in play. There was no reduction in green fees even though the entire course was not in play.
