Bittersweet Golf Course is a challenging and very well maintained Golf Course featuring bentgrass tees, Fairways, and greens. Many of the fairways are dog legs and are relatively narrow with water hazards on one side. The greens are elevated, multi-tiered and are very fast. This course is definitely not designed for the beginning golfer. The course demands accurate shots and the correct Club choice especially off the tee. Tip: youre better off leaving your shots a little short. If your long on your drives or on your approach shots youre asking for trouble
I love playing here. Beautiful scenery! I appreciate how polite and respectful the grounds crew is. Always a great round of golf. My only wish is that they put a few benches near the driving range. It would be great to sit and relax for a minute when hitting a large bucket of balls. Love the practice greens and ability to practice sand trap shots.
Challenging course set in Audobon protected wetlands. Bring your A-game and make good decisions!
Tough course for amateurs. Well groomed. We had a nice outing. Thanks.
On a beautiful day this challenging course is a good test for golf balls to stay out of trouble. But for the game its well worth the effort for the love of the game 🎯
Its a beautiful golf course and the people there are very courteous and accommodating I love going there
Brenna took great care of us. Never had to wait for a drink, food was good staff was very polite!
Great challenge, staff is absolutely generous and accommodating. Very professional and down to earth. Even though we lost a 3 wood today that didnt damper our mood because of the great course and staff. Thank you all, starter to check in to ranger. Thumbs upGet more and better yardage markers on the course or go digital for each cart. You can do it.
Great layout one with nature Friendly people food is always awsome!!
Excellent course design. Certainly will test your skills and club selection. Greens were receptive and errant shots penalized. Great value and excellent staff and service. Definitely will be coming back to this gem!
Beautiful golf course!
Played a fast round mid-day today. Course was very playable. Enjoyed the oasis that Bittersweet provides, especially on the back nine. It is unfortunate that so much of the physical infrastructure (such as cart paths) is decaying badly due to low revenue and public ownership by the village of Gurnee. Its a shell of its former self.
The course was absolutely beautiful and enjoyed all 18 holes immensely. The carts I used were clean and properly working. The staff, especially Kristie and Liam, were very welcoming and friendly toward me as I was new to the bittersweet golf course. It was an overall amazing course and will definitely come again!
Had a great golf outing
Was a pretty course especially on the back nine. There were a lot of divots on fairways and the greens were full of poorly fixed ball marks. No facilities on course except a couple of port-a-potties.
Great course! Member for many years and great fun every time.
Nice fairways and greens, leaves make it hard to find balls in the fall months
Beautiful as always. Perfect for for November.
A late season outing on a challenging course. Tucked into a suburban neighborhood.
The course is in very good shape. Greens are smooth and rolling well. People there are great. Course requires strategy, leave the driver in the bag for some holes. Play smart you will enjoy it. Good driving range and practice green. Get a lesson, the pro is very helpful.
Great service, Nice course with great lay out,great priceI like this course
Course is in great condition, best Ive seen it -- greens were near perfect. Its not a long course, but there are tight spots. You hit an errant shot, expect to be penalized. Staff is friendly, and value the customer.
Bittersweet is one of those courses, no matter how many times I have played here it never ceases to surprise me with its creative layout and sensational views. Its one of the best courses in Illinois. They have a decent driving range and few practice greens on premises. Course is walkable and no matter your skill level you wont be disappointed by spending time here.
Best golf course you can go too. Dont be fooled go here to see if you can really golf from the blue tees. You wont be disappointed. Everyone is so polite.
The course had some nice views, but overall was not impressed with conditions and layout. Some forced carries. Swampy. Quick, short landing areas. Blind shots.
Really nice course. Tucked back in a neighborhood. I wouldnt recommend walking this course for your first time. There is a long walk between some holes. This course will challenge you to stay out of the water but is do-able. The greens are well taken care of and not too crazy. I wish they would have had more ball washers. Only had a few on the course and the ones they did have were mixed at best. The drink girl didnt make the round until at 2pm. I will play at this course again.
The Staff was Very Friendly . Food was Very Good😊 The Gals...Our Bartenders, Servers were all FANTASTIC. THEY SERVED US A GREAT LUNCH AND SUPER DINNER. STEAKS that were Grilled Outside Nice Salad, These Gals Were Outstanding.😊😊 they served over 60 of Us . Thank You.
Course was fair and fun. However, golfers need more ball cleaning boxes and drinking water tanks which were hardly found. Greens need more sand and please make them even surface... Overall, it was average experience.
The bartenders/staff are amazing! This is the place to be whether you are golfing or just stopping by for a drink. Highly recommend visiting for some fun and entertainment!
Challenging but Very well kept, even in October. Greens run true, staff is extremely friendly. Will be playing often.
I called this place inquiring about the course and permanent tee times. The man was very helpful with all my questions. My group will probably golf here during th he season.
You must bring your A game to this course!! Its always in great shape and you pay for miss hits. I hate it, but I love it at the same damn time.
Nice design. Well kept. Great value. But very penal and unfair especially on sloped greens
Friday night is burger special. The deal is great and the service is fantastic.
Great club. Pretty difficult at times. Clean course. Very pretty sights
Pretty good course. Heard it was much harder before but theyve removed some hazards and its much more enjoyable now. Played here 3 times so far and will be back.
Would play again!
Service was terrible. Golf course was in the worst shape I have ever seen. Rain check policy is idiotic. Never going back.
Went for the fish fry. Great service 😊 Thanks, Nicole! Fish was great. We will be back.
This is a challenging course that I like a lot. I play in a weekly League here and I play other times as well. The course is narrow with lots of water and sand so not for everybody.
Very fun, beautiful course. Highly recommend playing here. Bring some extra golf balls, its challenging
Great course at a great price.. played blue tee, 3rd time I have played the course shot 88 the putter killed me but happy over all very narrow course.
Course was in great shape, the only critique I may have is the tee boxes needed a fair amount of patchwork.
Well kept. Tough target golf.
Favorite Course, Great Food Too
Like the course a lot, gotta know where to hit it and stay out of trouble, can be very tough first time or hundredth time. Lives up to its name, can easily shoot 100 or 80 depending on how accurate you are on any day.
Difficult course very well maintained and very nice people
Great place
Decent course conditions for October. Good layout with lots of turns.
Great course to play for golfers of all skill levels.
Tough course, lots of water, need to hit ball straight, nice staff!
Excellent fish fry. Great service.
Nice course. Decent on price
Seemed nice, just used the driving range though.
Challenging course at great rates.
Challenging course at great rates.
Course is in xcellant condition baring a few dead spots because of the flooding. No carts in the parking lot, no cart access to the bag drop, which is kinda stupid.
Need a starter to control tee times
Challenging course and fun to play
