I love this course…read more It's not the most challenging, but it isn't intimidating at all - it's the perfect place to learn to golf. The staff is nice, the fairways and greens are always in incredible shape, and their putting area was just updated and even better than before. It might not be the hardest golf you'll ever play, but I'm so grateful it's in my backyard!

This is an OK golf course, nothing spectacular. It is short and straight, no challenges to it…read more If I have just a little bit of time to golf or am golfing with my wife and daughter, this is an OK place to play. Other courses have better vistas and you feel like you are out in nature. Here, you do get to see what people have in their back yards in Frankfort Square. Not bad for a park district course and a good course for learning the game.

Bunkers over grown, greens dying, putting greens with grass growing into the hole. I was very sad today to see my old course going so far downhill. Wishing the course all the best, maybe someday it'll make a comeback.

As I started to give Manteno Golf Course three stars, I realized that my only large criticism was…read moreits (lack of) proximity to Chicago proper, for which I can hardly hold it responsible. Manteno is a nice enough course (with surprisingly quick greens) located in the middle of a bunch of corn fields over an hour south/southwest of Chicago. I played a round there on a Sunday afternoon for $24 with a cart. In my world, this is a pretty good deal. The course wasn't crowded and we finished in around 4 hours. It wasn't all that challenging a course, and there wasn't much water on it. It wasn't a complete cakewalk either though. The course is groomed pretty well all around, with the one notable exception being the fairways themselves which were a shockingly long cut of grass. The course isn't all that long though, making the slow fairways less of an issue. I'll definitely come back to Manteno again when I can spare the transportation time.

I have had dinner there a lot plus brunches, lunches and everything else they serve. It is for…read moremembers only but the food is much improved since I started going. The new chef is typically spot on with everything he makes. The club itself is very nice. Plenty of activities. Plenty of upgrades happening. I actually don't have anything to complain about at all. I am already looking forward to Easter brunch, the opening of the pool, as well as the new bocce ball courts. Great place to check out and maybe become members.

Golf course is great. Pool is very nice. However, my grandma lives in briar. She pays extra for…read morepeople to use the pool. I've been going there using her number to just lay out, relax, use the pool etc. nothing crazy. I go maybe the 4th time and staff kicks me out telling me that she has to be present with me if I'm going to use the pool. .... I'm 35 years old. To be kicked out of a pool because my grandma isn't with me is petty as hell and ridiculous. Anytime I've been there, there's maybe 10 people there anyways. I've bought food there before as well so they are turning down money for what? To keep the people of briar happy knowing I'm not there? lol. I get it's a club but Jesus Christ, lighten up and don't be so strict. I'm not bothering anyone by laying by the pool. Not happy.

This is a nice course in the Forest Preserve group. The design is good and provides a challenge but…read moreconditions are spotty. Several tee boxes were completely torn up and the water drainage is not good. There is a project to re-do bunkers going on and the new ones are in excellent shape while the old is effectively ground under repair. Every hole has ball washers and towels though they're clearly for the back tees because there is so much separation in tee boxes. Some cart paths are rough but it's not a broad issue. The staff are decently nice but the starter/ranger (doing double duty) knocks the rating down. The beverage cart seemed to end early as it wasn't seen after the front nine for a 2pm tee time. Pace should be managed better as there were multiple backups of 10+ min sitting and doing nothing. Clubhouse has a pretty good selection of food and prices are reasonable. $7 for a deli sandwich, $5 PB&J, etc. Carts don't have GPS but does have a card with 6 pin positions for every hole that is very informative. I hope the carts are upgraded to eliminate tears and cigarette burns in the seats at some point. The course is visually appealing and presents a good challenge. It's a good value at $62 for a weekend afternoon but could be improved in some aspects. It's worth playing.
