This traditional "U.S. Open" style course was built on hilly terrain and is lined with maple, oak, willow, and evergreen trees. The greens are medium-sized, fast and sloping. The fairways are about average width. The most difficult hole on the course is #17, a 401-yard, par 4, with a sharp dogleg left fairway, and an extremely small green that is sloped from back to front. There is a huge flower bed surrounding the green on hole #18. There are sand bunkers spread throughout the course and mounds everywhere. A level lie is a rare occurrence on this course. Bob Lohmann redesigned the course in 1989. Guests must be accompanied by a member in order to play this course.

Greens are the big challenge, Aug 02, 2004

reviewer: Jim from Winnebago, IL USA

The greens are the big problem here. They are extremely fast which makes chipping and putting difficult. The fairways are fairly tight, but the course is not weedy like some courses, so lost balls are not a big problem.

Glenkerry Golf Course
"Good course to teach your kids"
This is a good course to teach tour kids how to golf, because it is a moderately short course. I took my 8 year old son golfing there, and he shot a 58! Not too bad for his first time out, and he had a blast!We have been back twice and can't wait for sping to go again.

"Joe Welsh"
A very easy course, it probably makes the membership feel good about their game. I shot a very mundane 2 under and did not strike the ball that well. There is not much that can be done with this very boring layout, however they could focus on the irregular and unkempt greens. The one star would be for the adequate service at the clubhouse.

"Skyler's Dad"
Very pleasantly supprised. Greens were excellent. Fairways weren't. Great service at a great price. If you can hit streight it is an INCREDIBLE value. I'm comming back.
