Everything could improve! Best part was the strong Bloody Mary. Hopefully this space will be developed soon but in the meantime I don't recommend coming to play here. read more

Pistakee Country Club - One of the holes - Country Clubs Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

I first golfed at Pistakee Country Club about '58. Back then it was nicely maintained and a fun little 9 hole course. Played there on 9-29-23. It now has the distinction of being the worst maintained golf course I've ever played! Greens ere blotchy, big bare spots, cracks and need mowing. Tee boxes were overgrown, sand traps had weeds. 1 star is one star too many. read more

Nice course. Friendly staff. Been playing here for many years. Some long par 5's and not too much water if any which is nice.

I wish there were negative stars. By far the worst golf course. If you like weeds in your sand bunker, this is the course for you. This course has not been maintained in years which is a real shame. This is an original course from the early 1920's and seems like it hasn't been maintained since. $106 for 4 people with a cart (mind you it is only a 9 hole course) was not worth it. Don't waste your time!! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Course is not taken care of at all - over priced for the conditions and on top of paying to play, the lady comes out and tells you that you need to hurry because there's workers coming for the course at 6 o clock and it was only 540 with 2 holes left. (Also unbelievable considering course conditions) and when we are leaving - still no workers to be seen. So what was the rush? Do not recommend at all. read more

The course is crap. If they maintained it better it could be nice, but maintenance is clearly an issue. Fairways are not irrigated, so do not play this course during a drought, because the ground is like concrete. Sand traps have more weeds in them than sand, and the moon is smoother than the divot riddled putting greens. $26.00 is way to much money to play this course. read more

We usually golf together as a family, and our 7 year old son is learning how to play the game. We received a coupon in the mail for a pretty nice discount on the 9 hole course and decided to give it a go. We arrived with time to spare, and went into the "pro" center to check in. They had several items for purchase, and I had forgotten my golf glove so I picked up new one. They had complimentary bowl of candy at the check out and my son grabbed a piece. As we were ready to pay we presented the coupon, which didn't expire for 2 more weeks, and they would not honor it. They claimed that the coupon was not valid on the weekends, although there was no mention of that on the coupon itself. We decided to go ahead anyway and play the round of golf, rented the golf cart and were on our way. We had a few min to wait before our tee time, and sat in front of the pro center for about 10 mins, in the golf cart, before teeing off. The course itself was relatively nice, and maintained, and we didn't have many people behind us or in front of us. There was a single man playing behind us and we let him pass us on the 7th hole. The course is not too challenging and most of the holes are set up with a straight on view of the hole, and was perfect for my son to practice his game. As we approached the end of the 9th hole we were approached by one of the managers from the pro center and he was pretty irate that we had included our son on the outing, stating that they do not allow children to play or even be on the course unless they are over 12 year old. He said there was a big sign when we checked in, but we never saw anything like that. They obviously saw us checkin in with our son and then they must have seen us sitting out in front of the pro center, in the golf cart with our son for about 10 min. They could have said something then if it was truly a serious matter. When we were checking out after being yelled at, we were back in the pro center and my son was about to take another piece of the complimentary candy (small hard candy) and the man behind the counter said he couldn't have any unless he paid $1 for each piece. What a total jerk! Needless to say after our experience, we will never be back to this golf course. There are much better and much nicer courses in the area that allow children to learn the game of golf. We have played at so many courses in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Colorado and have never been told that children can't play with their parents. We would have gladly left if they had mentioned this at check in, and gone to play our round at Boone Creek Golf Course. The rudeness of the managers at this golf course was shocking and they obviously do no honor their coupons. You can definitely find a better place to play golf. read more

Very disappointed playing here. $26 for 9 holes with an old worn out golf cart. Realistically comparing this course to other local courses of the same caliber, 9 holes should be no more than $15, I don't think they will remain open if they don't change their price point. I would never play there again. They are also crazy about masks, even though the guy in the pro shop had his under his nose! Ridiculous! read more

For the price you cannot beat it! Has some hard holes. The second par 3 has difficult. Was treated well and they have a great small bar, and gambling machines for after playing. Low key, relaxing, and I believe family owned. read more

Although it is a nice and inexpensive course, every time I have golfed there, there is a back up of golfers on the course. The manager refuses to get involved with slow golfers, late starts, or managing large groups. For that reason, this place gets a thumbs down. read more

Nice, some-what secluded golf course, not a private-type country club, instead it is open to the public. A challenging nine-holes, this course will surprise you with it's little twists and turns. If your in the McHenry area I would suggest giving this little course a try. read more

Played there early 70"s to early 90's, with Harry Nielsen, Sr and Jr, Kenny Krueger, Bill Koch, Roger Reinke, Beer Johnson, The whole group. Great time, Fast greens, lots of fun. First membership I paid there was $100 a year. How's that, JR?? Live in Florida now, still trying. Ken J. read more
