I play at Billy C all the time. (Often little to no wait for a walk-in (pre covid)). No sand, some water, mostly straight decent layout and very friendly environment. They take pretty good care of the greens, fairways and rough are a good length. Too much or too little rain can be a factor, especially considering they can only water the greens (nothing they can do when the fairways get dry or the stream floods out 5,6,7). Just keep in mind that it is a muni 9, so pace can be slower. If you're not in a big rush and want to relax and have fun close to Chicago, this is a great choice.

Wonderful thing about this golf course is how challenging the holes are. After the great rains on the NASCAR weekend, the water element is particularly challenging. My parents enjoy having the chance to mix it up with more rigorous turf bc skills show up when a course is not always predictable.

Course is a budget forest preserve course. It’s great for what it is. Pace of play is abysmal waiting for near 20 minutes at each hole from 5-9. Love the course but don’t know if I’ve ever had a good experience on it.
