Ruffled Feathers Golf Club
About
Ruffled Feathers Golf Club in Lemont is conveniently situated just a half hour outside downtown Chicago. Pete Dye and his son P.B. collaborated to design the course, making it the only Dye design in the Chicago area. A well thought-out strategy will be greatly rewarded on this challenging layout and bad shots made without any thought will be severely punished. This is definitely not a golf course where you can just grip it and rip it. The fairways are fairly straight and forgiving, but most of the approach shots play to tricky elevated greens. There are also strategically placed bunkers framing the greens and water hazards come into play on several holes as well. Ruffled Feathers Golf Club's par 3s have a reputation for being particularly challenging. But depending on how windy it is, the final hole might present the most formidable challenge.

Slow play and no one moving thing along
My title says it all. A 5 hour and 20 minute round.
No pace no tempo. Just a 5-7 minute wait on every hole. Not fun.
Nice course for a Hot deal.
The course layout is average. Plenty of sand traps. Pace of play was great. Snce we played on a Sunday 92 degree day at 106pm the course was not crowded. The group before and behind use were both 2 holes apart. Enjoyed the island Par 3.
Hi u314162716803, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the pace of play and the unique challenge of the island Par 3. We appreciate your input regarding the course layout and will take it into consideration.
Bad experience
This course has long been one of my favorite public courses in the Chicagoland area. However, my recent experience makes me not want to be back anytime soon. We played in the afternoon on 7/3. Their had been a ton of rain and we expected the course to be wet and it was in better condition than we could have thought. Our problem was the pace of play. In the afternoon over a holiday weekend I’d expect a round to take a little longer than usual. However, this was absolutely ridiculous. We ended up leaving after 14 holes because we were staring at the group in front of us waiting to tee off because the group ahead of them had just drove up to their balls. This was at the 4 hour and 15 minute mark of our round. Every single hole this seemed to be the case where we’d wait 10 minutes (at least) to hit shots. We called the clubhouse on 11 to send someone out to see why the entire course was being held up as we didn’t see a Marshall through the entire duration. They came out on 12 and seemed to just drive by without saying a word to any group. We expected this round to take a bit longer than a normal weekend but we were staring at 5.5 hour round and for $105 this seems absolutely ridiculous. The course didn’t seem to care that every group was waiting 10-15 minutes both off the tee and for their approaches.

Thanks for taking the time to rate us. We’d love to know more about what we did and didn’t do well so that we can better serve you in the future.
Fairways and greens in great shape. That’s about it…
Tee boxes are very confusing because they aren’t all marked.
No rakes in most bunkers and some had puddles.
What used to be an exceptional course is now a diamond in the rough. 5HR round because no rangers are out, also no beverage cart.
Got a great deal on the rate and that’s the only way I’ll return.
Thank you for your constructive feedback, we will strive to make improvements to the issues at hand in order to provide a better experience for all golfers.

No Complaints
Taking into account the time of year, the course was in exceptional condition. Pro shop is currently undergoing renovation so, if you’re low on supplies, consider stopping at a sporting goods store
We appreciate the review, tjgraham6. Thanks for taking the time. Hope you have an amazing day!
We’re thrilled to see you had a positive experience, fxiao. Is there anything you’d like to share that we can pass along to the team?

Staff are vey friendly. Course layout is great. However greens and bunkers needs some work.

Great Value
First time playing the course and even though it was winter the course was much more playable than many others in the area. Staff was excellent and for practice balls, cart and round was a great value. Would definitely play again

Rainy day
The weather was not great. It started drizzling as we teed off on the first tee, and got heavier as the round went on. By the back nine we were playing in a steady pour. The pace was great, but of course, there was hardly anyone left on the course.
Despite the wet conditions, the course took the water very well. The fairways were very playable and greens were still true. We were impressed at how well the wetlands helped keep the course drained.
