I've played a lot of golf. Good courses, bad courses and inbetween.
Without a doubt, this course is in the worst condition of any I've ever played.
The fairways are full of dandelions, clovers, and all different varieties of weeds. There also seems to be some sort of disease causing brown dead circles all over the fairways. If you hit one in the middle of the fairway, I'd say you have less than a 50/50 shot of getting a decent lie.

Trust me. I'm not some snobby got to have a perfect course to play on kinda guy. I sometimes play at the local park district course and its in 1,000x better shape than this place.

None of us engaged and he continued with that crap. Not the time, not the place, not the crowd. I would like to give it another try at some point but not unless the quality of the...
Read morePlayed Maywood yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The pro shop staff is top notch. The practice range and putting green are perfect. The golf course layout is fun and challenging. The condition of the golf course is excellent but a few of the bunkers are still being renovated and are being played as ground-under-repair. The greens roll pure. One recommendation is a few signs are needed to help navigating between certain holes. Perhaps most importantly for the group I was with, the selection of beers offered in the clubhouse...
