  One of my favorite public courses. The starter, Ray, is great. Hole #3 will get you. Affordable. Exactly what you’re looking for in a forest preserve course.

  First time here and wonderful friendly service. Busy golf course so make sure you make a reservation. Course conditions well maintained with small amenities like an air hose to clean shoes and club wash area are nice

  Today 8/17, my husband and I had a tee time at 6:50am, the starter was very rude to me. We have been playing at this course and many others for many years and never experienced something like this. My husband went in to pay and I went to put my bag in the cart, the starter was wasn't there, he was coming walking from the cart barn, using a loud voice(not screaming but we were not close to each other) ask me if I did the check in, I told him my husband is doing it right now (not screaming but he wasn't still near me) and he started telling me that I wasn't allowed to put my stuff in the cart until he check me in, so I told him that I didn't know that, that we never had an issue before(first carts had no keys so you can't take the cart no where, so I don't know what's problem on putting my clubs in) For me that will be the end of the issue cuz I wasn't aware of that rule BUT NO He told me that it was on signs on the path there, with the signs that said NO ALCOHOL ON THE COURSE (so I told her but they sell alcohol in the proshop) and he said (you can't bring your own) Something that I know, so I told him that I didn't have alcohol that if he wants to check the bags, he told me (NO, IF YOU ARE DRINKING AT THIS TIME, YOU HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM) so I told him that with that attitude he had the problem ( I don't drink, I had a cup of coffee with me) He was rude and disrespectful with those comments, went I told him that I didn't know that rule it was supposed to be the end of the issue and he's comment about the alcohol was irrelevant at all. When my husband came out with the receipt, he smiled and say good morning to him like nothing without even mentioning that next time we have to check in with him before grabbing the cart 😡 he has a problem with ladies or what?

  While I was in the pro-shop checking in, the famous starter that everyone complains about in these google reviews, came up to my girlfriend and rudely said "you're not allowed to be here" because apparently there is a course policy that golfers cannot bring a non-player in a cart to watch. A bystander who witnessed the interaction came up to me afterward and commented on how unnecessarily rude the starter had been. What I don't understand is why he chose to confront my girlfriend instead of simply waiting a minute to speak with me when I came out to pick up the cart. This wasn't a cart capacity issue. It was solely because of the course's spectator policy—a policy I've never encountered at any other golf course. In fact, the next course I played at laughed when I mentioned it. When I asked the starter about how he spoke to my girlfriend, the situation escalated quickly. He got in my face yelling that I need to find the bystander who had told me he was rude because, in his ill mind, he hadn't done anything wrong. Afterward, I spoke with the staff in the pro shop. They handed me General Manager Dean Brikshavana's business card and told me I wasn't the first customer to have an issue with this individual, encouraging me to reach out to Dean directly. Unfortunately, my conversation with Dean was equally disappointing. He denied that this employee is an ongoing problem and insisted this isn't a recurring issue. Based on the number of reviews describing nearly identical experiences, that simply doesn't appear to be true. I encourage anyone reading this to scroll through the reviews and judge for themselves. Chick Evans has a nice golf course, but one employee consistently creating negative customer experiences reflects poorly on the entire operation. This seems like a straightforward management issue to address. Customer service and hospitality matter just as much as the condition of the course, and based on my experience, this employee is not suited for a customer-facing role.
