Odyssey Country Club is a challenging layout that was designed by Harry Bower and two-time U.S. Open winner Curtis Strange. Strange won in 1988 and 1989, putting him in the company of only six others in the century-long history of the U.S. Open. His influence is apparent in all the strategic elements of the golf course as well as the risk-reward options. This demanding layout is not exactly beginner friendly. Staying on the fairways is crucial or your ball will be met with deep rough. Water is also a prominent presence on the golf course. Twelve holes either feature a water hazards or play along the water's edge. Odyssey Country Club's 16th hole is memorable for its tricky island green, which naturally draws comparisons to the famous 17th at TPC Sawgrass.

Ok, but understaffed, and disgustingly ignorant golfers.

The course is decent and a fair value. The staff was nice. I played as a single behind two threesomes. They not only didn’t invite me to join them, they wouldn’t allow me to play through. I mentioned this to one of the staff near the turn. There were no rangers. After completing the 9th I went straight to the 10th where I sat and waited for the first threesome who came out of the clubhouse as I arrived at the tee and yelled at me to back off. When they were through, I stuck a peg in the ground only to hear more yells coming at me from the clubhouse from the next threesome. They raced to the tee, mustard dripping from their mouths, and hit, keeping me behind them. By the time I got to the 16th there was myself, a twosome behind me, and a twosome behind them all on the tee at the same time. We played the 18th as a fivesome just so we could get out of there. 5 hours to play a weekday round because of ignorant people and no course attendants? No thanks. Ug.

Sunday morning slow play, which can be expected. Every time I play here it is sloppy course conditions after minimal rain. Bad drainage maybe. But overall not a terrible course.

Loved the layout of this course!

Didn’t know what to expect other than the classic Chicagoland Odyssey name. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a really fun course. Interesting enough from championship tees it was nice and long, however, there are 4 separate tee box options that made it great for the family too. . It was a good hybrid of a classic/ modern style course. I am looking forward to playing a more competitive round here soon.
