Beautiful, scenic and challenging design that the best golfers will appreciate/ Convenient location, only a mile from I94/ Tee times are RELATIVELY easy to obtain

The entire course is routed through protected wetlands, preventing design changes to make the course less severe for the weak at heart/ For some silly reason Bittersweet requires the use of carts, even though certain holes are roped off (2nd hole was like this) took FOREVER to play this double dogleg with the cart up to 100 yards away/

This course is not at all for beginners, but with that said, if the previous golfers posting to this website truely play in the 90's, they should have some appreciation for this course. If you can shoot in the 90's you can respect the risk reward scenarios that Bittersweet offers to golfers. Water or OB is on EVERY hole, but the course is not particularly long, enabling you to play irons off many tees (oftentimes the greens are easier to hit than the fairways, so be patient)
You would be hard pressed to find a more scenic course in greater Chicagoland. Nearly every hole plays through protected wetlands. The back nine is routed through towering trees, making for some demanding shots.
Conditioning was average, I played in late fall and many greens were in poor shape.
For the area, the price was not bad, (relative to White Deer Run, ThunderHawk, or Stonewall Orchard) Stonewall was a much less interesting layout for a higher price.
Choose your tees WISELY (a guy in my foursome drove through at least 3 fairways....use some strategy), bring your A game, and try this one out. May even want to leave an erratic driver in the trunk.

Ranger let me off early, pairing me up with a threesome, as I was playing alone that day

Good sized bentgrass driving range, which I believe is lighted, as is the putting green.

Play as fast as you like, noone to bother you. Greens were nice once you got there.

Unfair target golf.

Previous reviews are right on target. Play Bittersweet if you are looking for a thoroughly unenjoyable golf experience. I thought my group was alone in our disappointment with the track, but realized we were only there because everyplace else was booked. Couldn't pay me to go back.

Nice course layout, with links style holes.

Impossible for all but scratch golfers.

Ill just reiterate. This is not even an intermediate course. This is by far the biggest BALL EATER I have ever played. It made me feel like I was playing for the first time! I am not a great golfer, but give me a break. Saying this course is unfair is an understatement. Even with the unreliable GPS systems, I didnt feel safe taking any shots further than 150 yards, for fear of another lost ball. I am thinking the used ball hunters should hit this course hard. Its a gold mine!!!
