I don't mean to bash Black Diamond Transportation, but I feel like I must point out a few things to help the public make an informed decision for planning their transportation needs. The good: Gene, the owner, was an incredibly nice man. His communication was top-notch, as he contacted me by text within 24-hours before each pick-up to confirm pick-up details, flight schedules, etc. He was consistently prompt and on-time for both trips, so his service was quite reliable in that regard. He did have waters available for us to drink on both trips as well, and he is certainly very social. He also kept a close eye on flight details to stay informed of any changes or possible delays, which showed excellent attention to details. The not-so-good: When I booked the reservation and discussed the details with Gene, he pried a bit about my marital status and my relationship to the travelers. I felt like this was a bit invasive, inappropriate, and unprofessional, as it bears no relevance on transportation to the airport, so it created a bit of an awkward situation from the start. Gene is a very chatty person. Although some people may enjoy the social aspects of his stories and regaling with his anecdotes, it was not on my list of favorites. Our departing flight was extremely early in the morning; I am not a morning person, so I'm really not up for lengthy conversation when the sun has barely risen. The same goes for the evenings after a long, tiresome day of travel....I am pretty pooped and just want to relax. I told Gene on our first trip to O'hare that I was tired and wouldn't be talking much, but he really didn't seem to take the hint, as he talked the whole drive down. The return trip was better as I just used my air buds to eliminate the chatter and just rest. Just before getting onto the interstate, Gene did (unknowingly) blow through a stop sign, which was quite alarming for us. Fortunately there weren't any complications or casualties from this, but it definitely created some uneasiness for us and our safety as passengers. The worst thing of all was that upon our arrival to O'hare, Gene dropped us off at the wrong airport terminal. We were flying JetBlue, and Gene insisted that JetBlue was in terminal 3 of the airport, so we trusted his word. (even though the only airline signs around were American Airlines) We entered the terminal, and much to our distress, we discovered JetBlue was actually in terminal 2. So, we had to take all of our luggage and jump on some stupid train to get over where we needed to be, which really did not start our trip off on a positive note. On the return trip, I asked Gene if we could enjoy an adult beverage or beer on our drive, and the response was, "No. Due to open container laws, you cannot." I was under the impression that Gene was marketing himself as a limousine service, (or maybe some of the other reviews suggested this, so maybe my mistake?) but the reality is it's just a guy and his own personal vehicle. In summary, Gene will communicate well, be on time, and talk your ear off. If you don't mind that, give him a try. (just double-check your actual airport terminal destination) If you're wanting a true limo service, you should keep looking elsewhere.

The entire experience was luxurious, comfortable and safe. We already have our return trip booked as well. Thank You!

I played here both in the early Summer and early Fall and the course was consistently in very good shape. It's quite a hike if you live in the city, but the green fees are pretty reasonable compared to some of the shorter, lower quality courses in Chicago's immediate suburbs. Be forewarned, there's a ton of water on this course so bring lots of golf balls and prepare for a long day if you're struggling to hit it straight. Even with all the challenges this course presents, it still makes for an enjoyable round that's worth the occasional trek outside Chicago.

I do like getting free road maps, and for those of you younger than old-as-dirt, we used to use these paper maps to get from here to there. Kind of a primitive Google Maps only it worked better. Apparently the State of Wisconsin didn't print new maps for 2024 so I guess the old ones will have to do. This has become a place for homeless people to spend overnight, and I kind of like that they don't roust them in harsh weather but it does mean the place doesn't smell as clean at night. The vending machine coffee is actually better than the gas station and fast food coffee at this exit. Not saying it's good, but the area gas stations and fast food places don't believe in fresh coffee so this is as good as it gets in the afternoon or at night. If you're on a long car trip this is a pleasant area to take a brief walk to relieve lower back pain. There are recycling receptacles though lots of people just put trash into the plastic only and aluminum only bins.
