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.

Slow pace of play

Great layout
To bad we have to wait 10 minutes for every tee box
I found deal on golf now
But wen I got there they said
First come , first serve. You have to wait !
Don’t put a deal on golf now if you not respect the tee time of booking !

Fun and affordable

A great par 3 golf course with fantastic design for the price. Easy to walk and play, the course offers just enough challenge for experienced golfers and even a better experience for new golfers. Be aware that as it is a public park district course the pace of play is very inconsistent. It is common to get stuck behind slower groups but mostly it is a fair pace.

It’s design is gorgeous nestled on the Fox River with plenty of wildlife and gorgeous views. I play once a week and love it!

Play this course!

Barring a remodel on 3rd hole this course is truly top notch. For a 9 hole course you will use every club in your bag. Robert Trent Jones jewel.

Great 9 hloe layout

A beautiful course located right on the Fox River in St. Charles. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., it is an interesting mix of holes with water coming into play on 2 holes including an island green. Course is not overly long, but requires course management and shot making to score well. Overall a great value in a beautiful setting! Want to play 9? Highly recommend.

NO RANGER...MAKES THINGS SLOW!

Nice public course...wet in some spots due to the terrible storms we have had. Walked 9 holes. Was slow due to 2 ladies in front of me who really didn't care I was by myself waiting on every shot.. Makes for frustrating round to wait. I would return again, but would make sure it's off peak time.
