Beautifully manicured fairways and greens. Excellent views. Challenging to any golfer.

Located close to the City Dump, on a hot day the smell can get bad. Tall grass on the sides of the fairways steals more balls than one might think!

This course is a great play! Lake County Illinois is known for its nice, PUBLIC, courses and Shepard's Crook is no different. I played on a Sat. morning and the pace was excellent. I also had the pleasure of my buddy and I being paired up with the superintendent of the Zion Park District, who gave us a history of the course. The course is links play, with some trickey holes with woods. One hole, I call it "The Monster" is 600+ yards long, and it seems like you hit a thousand times just to get to the green. Excellent challenge, and the golf atmosphere is great also. No cut off, tank top wearing drunks out there, just serious golfers who want to play on a nice course.

Good beer on tap at the clubhouse.

greens can be a challenge especially when the pin is in back,or way up front. Well placed bunkers, a few forced carries.

Start your twilight rates a bit sooner, much better on weekends late in the summer

Excellent condition for a municipal course. Plays a bit slow on weekends, excellent pace during the week.

Customer Service

always excellent--in the house and on the course. Weekend rangers could be more assertive.

Next to a landfill. When it''s hot in the summer, it stinks.

This is such a great value at $35 to walk. The course is in excellent shape. This is one of my top 5 favorite courses in Chicago.

Pace of play, cost, condition of course.

no driving range

the best golf value for walkers. $35 anytime! This is a great golf course, and its only 1 year old. Links style most of the way, with a few holes running through trees. Plenty of water and sand. This course is a plaesure to play. For some reason, it has been very windy every time i have been there, which makes for a great challenge. I have walked many rounds in about 3 hours time.
