Challenging Course
Well laid out course
Designed as a Country Club then taken over by the Village
Aerated
Don’t play here for a month. 9 holes closed for aeration and the other nine that are open are basically not puttable. Freshly punched and sanded. The course will be great again in a month though. Strong and interesting layout. Lots of good holes.
Rolling Downhill
Usually a mid tier course in my ranking of Chicagoland courses, Water’s Edge is trending in the wrong direction. I am willing to overlook the lack of there being a starter and patches of torn up fairway and attribute it to being early in the season and business of a holiday weekend. The round took about 5+ hours being bottlenecked at certain holes.
The challenging course layout and was offset by the course conditions. I will give Water’s Edge the benefit of the doubt this time and see if it improves.
Good place to play
Course condition was very good.
Pace of play was good, we teed off at 7:30 and finished by 11:00.
Can’t rate amenities cause of Covid-19 restrictions.
Thank you for your 5-star review! Hope to see you back again soon.

Course needs attention
While other courses have had maintenance issues, this course has had no course management in keeping up with maintaining tee boxes, fairways, and greens. I have only seen one course in worse/similar shape this year. We had a one-hour tee off time delay due to frost in the morning. The starter, who has been with Water's Edge for years, was pleasant to chat with during the wait. However, there are no rangers on the course. Hole #10 and #11 took roughly 70 minutes to play with 3-4 groups backed up at each tee box...unacceptable! Groups were even calling it a day because they did not want to wait. We always liked this course, but likely not to return for at least a few years.

Complete Lack of Control
Unexpectedly perfect weather in October made for a very busy day, but they were completely unprepared and had a complete lack of control. First off, there were no carts available and we had to wait for groups to come in to clamor over their carts. We were there 30 minutes early and teed off 10 minutes late. There was no starter so that was a free for all. The course was somehow during all of this still allowing walk ins with no reservations despite being booked. The tee time before my foursome was a foursome that were apparently strangers, so since there was no starter they just decided that they'd split into two twosomes rather than playing together as 1 group. On an already fully saturated course, injecting ANOTHER group into the tee time before mine ended up making for exceptionally slow play. We got through 13 holes before having enough and left. Very disappointing. We will not be back.
Good God for a great price
Good God for a great price,
The reservation was premade online, the staff in the clubhouse was very welcoming and assuring our group of amenities and necessities available.
AfternoonPrice was perfect and ended at a perfect time also, the back 9 / 4 out of the nine holes were roped off and slowed down things a little bit.
For the special price it is well worth playing 18 and riding,
Thanks for your review, Ray! We're glad to hear you had a good time. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about the slow downs. Hope to see you back soon.
