Totally fell off the state budget radar, Sep 29, 2009

reviewer: Joe from Hudson NY

Played the track to much of my dissapointment. No grass was mowed, greens were terrible, maintenance equipment was strewn everywhere on the course, pro shop was totally barren, and the greens fee was well over $40 w/cart. It is a total shame what has happened to this course, because the original architecture has great R.T. Jones features like chutes and water holes. It needs to be privatized asap, it cannot survive like this.

Very good condition for a public course, Nov 07, 2004

reviewer: Don from Yardley PA

Played 9 holes here and liked it a lot. the fairways are wide open on the front 9, water comes into play on 2 of the front 9. Greens are generous and soft. Very nice course.

Getting Better, Nov 05, 2004

reviewer: Jim from Mahopac, NY

I played Baird about 20 times this summer. The course has held up real well. Understand that the new greenskeep is from Bethpage and is working overtime to make Baird better - The greens are very good, the fairways so-so. Tee boxes need work. I believe that 2005 should be a break out year! keept up the good work.

Old River Golf Course
"It's Fun"
The course is OK. I've played it about 10 times and they need to get the front 9 in. If they got the front 9 in I think it would me a lot more fun.

Good course with senic views and cheap rates even on Weekends

Mill Creek Golf Club
"Living and Playing Mill Creek"
I chose to live in the Mill Creek Community after playing Mill Creek Golf Course. The course is long enough to challenge the low handicapper while allowing the average golfer to handily compete. While each hole presents its unique challenge, holes 7, 9, and 15 can be particularly formidable. Hole 7 is a reasonably short par 4, just 326 yards from the white tees and 400 yards from the championship tees, but take the ball out of the fairway -- kiss it good bye. Hole 9 (359 yards from the white tees and 439 from the championship tees) commands distance and accuracy from the tee if one expects to reach the green in two. A bed of rocks to the left of the fairway, woods to the right, and a ravine paralleling its length on the left with a wide ditch crossing the fairway about 50 yards from the green, simply command excellent club selection. Hole 15 and be a pussy cat or a bear. Wind in your face requires a long wood. Wind with you, and a five iron may place your ball in a 50 yard water and grass hazzard which crosses the fairway about 100 yards from the green. The entire course undulates and winds through just over 7000 yards from the championship tees. The fairways allow the ball to be played down while the bent greens firmness can cause many putter miscalulations. All in all, this is a great course -- especially at fees ranging from $39 - $59, cart included.

Wynstone Golf Club
"Employee"
Wynstone is situated on a topographically diverse landscape, unbecoming of many Chicagoland golf venues. It has abundant wildlife which adds to the course's balance between a parkland and wetland. Wynstone also offers a unique challenge for any golfer. Not only is the golf course difficult at 7,000+ yards, but also presents a challenge to any comers at 6,500. Both birdies and bogies are easily found throughout the track. Finally, the course is maintained hard and fast. Fairways and greens are firm which requires and rewards shotmaking.
