Definition of a dog track. Fairways and greens were in terrible shape. Entire portions of greens were practically unplayable. No one was enforcing pace. We waited behind a group on every shot who had no one for over a hole in front of them. The only upside for this place is that the starter and guy in the clubhouse were friendly. $72 is an insane rate to pay here for a 2pm tee time on a Sunday. There are dozens of nicer courses in the areas you could pay the same or less. Will completely avoid in the future.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. Kane County should be ashamed of themselves for what this place has turned into. Way overpriced and the maintenance is awful. Combine a challenging layout with incompetent course management and you get Settlers hill as a result. Concrete dirt fairways, patches of dirt and rocks scattered just off of greens and tee boxes, zero attention to detail and terrible maintenance. Green grass is a rarity at this place. I honestly wonder where the money they generate goes because it certainly doesn't go back into the course. I've lived here 4 years and this place just keeps getting worse and worse each year. You have to actually convince yourself you're having a fun time out there because truly nothing about the course gives you a reason to come back. I've played here about 5 times and this was the last straw. Guys in the pro shop wanted to charge me a greens fee for my buddy who couldn't show up since he got called into work. Saying"we'll miss out on revenue since he cancelled, other players couldve played." I looked at him and said "dude there's 5 cars in the parking lot, and I checked online there's 20 open tee times still available, I'm not paying that." Absolute joke of an operation I hope this place goes out of business so someone with a brain can make it into something worth spending money on. Only positive is the driving range.

Great layout, needs more attention from groundskeepers. Pros: -Course layout is very interesting and each hole is different. -Sand traps were in really good condition for mid-April. -Desk staff is friendly. No starter, or ranger, but course traffic was light that day. - Price point when we played was well below rack rate. I find the standard rate to be a bit too high for the current quality of the grounds. Cons: -Fairways are thin in general, rough is clumpy with a fair number of weeds -Some tee boxes are in very bad shape -No roving beverage cart, and snack shack was closed. New clubhouse that was supposed to be built at start of hole #1.... wasn't ever built. Only building is the old one between #17 and #18. No ETA for the new clubhouse either. I recommend you buy drinks and snacks when you check in, it may be the only chance to get them. -Greens hacked up in places, while rather good in others. Overall: A course with a LOT of potential, but it needs quite a bit of work. I hope they invest in maintenance going forward.
