Ratke Stream

maybe dial back the "in all of" phrasing

Have u ever played Atkins golf club?

Get left!

Bahringer Curve

The fact you included Prairie View, my home town course, gets me to subscribe. Prairie View has really matured over the years and is a true gem.

Prairie Isle! My boss Mr. Tom got a hole in one on that course! Great shot Mr. Tom. They made a plaque for him

Wow, I didn’t expect people to complain and recommend other places

Ann Briar is a must see, beautiful course and tough.

More proof that Chicago should be its own state.

F shitcago

Going in feb 2025

You need to put aome.milea on your car and come down state to play before putnout all this crap about Chicagoland golf. This info is worthless to most golfers in Illinois. Was a waste of my time to listen.

FU Jack and everyone else who turned this magnificent course into a giant sand trap. Now only the extremely wealthy can afford to play.

I played with a guy who said the architect that designed the greens at Mt Prospect came back to play it after the course was finished and he even said he might have made the greens a little too hard lol

Aldeen , Rockford

Pine Meadows !⛳️🏌️

Cinder Ridge, Minnie Monesse , Sanctuary, Balmoral Woods

Wolf Hollow in Lena!

You should try Fox Bend in Oswego next time you’re back. It is so cheap and yet gorgeous! Great video.

What happened to holes 15-17?

Rename the video to Chicago, not Illinois

No love for Hilldale? Robert Trent Jones Snr course

Glenwoodie was my go to course 60 years ago. $6.00 for 18.

Shepard’s greens too tricked up

Why did you focus on the Chicago area? Illinois is a big state with plenty of good courses sprinkled throughout. The Arnold Palmer designed The Den in Bloomington/Normal is top notch, with Prairie Vista crosstown a close 2nd. In Pekin, IL (near Peoria) you'll find the 4 star rated (by Golf Digest) Lick Creek Golf Course, as well as Peoria's 4 1/2 star rated Weaver Ridge. Down south of Springfield you'll find Panther Creek-a regular stop on the LPGA tour. There are plenty of great courses in Illinois, you don't have to stay in Chicago area to find them.

Regulars hate #10. It's just an unfair hole.

It's clearly a much better value than Dubs.

Didn you know there is another 90% to the state?

Expanding out of Chicagoland area: 1) Woodbine golf course, Elizabeth IL 2) park hills golf course, Freeport IL 3) Rock Island arsenal golf course (was closed for a couple years, but now opening again)

Old Oak C.C. Homer Glen, IL

Chick Evans is THE hidden gem of Chicagoland

Ravisloe Country Club is also a great golf course

Author may not ne local😅these two always sit state public top 20

So much for the Chicago land courses, how about the central and southern parts of Illinois

never went past springfield

There’s more to Illinois than Chicago

George Dunn golf course in Oak Forest. Should be somewhere on the list.

Traffic around O’Hare is very low and there’s a lot of forestry around there!

You need to go to Wolf Creek, just north of Pontiac! Awesome 18 hole course, low rates and challenging!

Missed Redtail Run Decatur, IL. Fantastic Raymond Floyd layout. Affordable. Don’t miss the Wharf afterwards for beverages and really good food. Can’t wait to do it again.

Foss Park Golf Coure: very beginner friendly, for those who are just getting into the game. My biggest drop off with them is unfortunately, unless you go in the afternoon, the morning crowd can dampen your experience for sure. You can't expect golf etiquette out of grown adults, which is a shame.

Glenwoodie

I would like to add Baker Park Golf Course in Kewanee. Actual hidden gem.

Arboretum in BG. Is hands down the best bang for buck. But be prepared to get bent over.

If you don’t mind dropping the coin, Canyata is open to the public.

You can play a RTJ 9 hole for like $15 in St. Charles at Pottawatomi. It’s great.

Maybe the title should say Chicagoland instead of Illinois.

The Bourne Golf Club in Marseilles, IL. They have a tee box where you’re teeing off over the tree tops (I think it’s about a 40ft elevation over the fairway). It is amazingly beautiful and very affordable! It has been my favorite course in IL since I was a kid.

Beautiful courses but the title should be "Hidden Gems near Chicago."
