💬 What Visitors Say
- Call the rainout line at (815) 410-4475 before visiting, especially after heavy rain, as the driving range is built on soft peat and may not be operational. Mini-golf courses are more weather-resistant.
- Purchase a membership if you plan to visit regularly—Family memberships (up to 4 people) cost $150 for residents/$195 for non-residents, and individual replay rounds are just $3, making it economical for frequent visitors.
- Expect to spend about 2 hours playing both 18-hole courses. Plan for cool weather even on nice days, and bring layers if visiting later in the day, as temperatures can drop significantly.
- Book group outings well in advance and avoid scheduling within 45 minutes of closing time. Birthday packages ($8-$11 per person) include one round, reserved indoor space, and goody bags, making them a good value.
- The facility is stroller-accessible with clean bathrooms and a spacious deck area, making it family-friendly. Staff are noted as patient and helpful with pricing and children.
