The golf course is producing a larger than usual revenue share as the pandemic-prompted bump in play continues in its second year. The course is set on 110 acres with frequent views of the Des Plaines River, which accounts for some of the water challenges golfers will encounter on 14 of the 18 holes. Crane’s Landing’s Tom Grey said the front nine is fairly short but still challenging, while the back nine plays as much as five shots harder. The par-70 layout offers four sets of tees, bentgrass fairways, a practice facility and golf shop. The golf course is also a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
