reviewer: boogieman from chicago,il

No matter how you spell it, this course is one of the most difficult but rewarding course you're likely to find in Illinois. No easy shots to speak of and it plays long and mean. Had fun, but out of the foursome, only three pars. I'm sure I'd feel different if I had actually paid for it, but it was a company outing.

Golfable Golf Quote of the Day:

" If you want to take long walks, take long walks. If you want to hit things with sticks, hit things with sticks. But there's no excuse for combining the two and putting the results on TV. Golf is not so much a sport as an insult to lawns. -- National Lampoon, 1979 "
