Things golfers want to know:
Worth the green fee? Was the course well maintained? How was the pace of play? Were the greens in good shape? Any tips for first-timers?Four golf courses coexist at Cog Hill, at a variety of price points ranging from sub-$50 (courses #1 and #3) to nearly $200 (course #4 -- Dubsdread). They range from ~6,300 to ~7,500 yards with course ratings to match. The premier course here is Dubsdread, which has hosted numerous professional and amateur tournaments throughout the years. It was the site of the PGA Tour's Western Open (1991-2006) and BMW Championship (2007, 2009-2011). Tiger Woods won the Western and BMW a combined 5 times, while other recent notable winners include Justin Rose, Trevor Immelman, and Dustin Johnson. Cog Hill also hosted the 1997 US Amateur Championship, won by Matt Kuchar.
While the courses have different personalities, they share some characteristics. There’s not a tremendous amount of water across all four venues. In addition, hills and elevation changes add flair across all four tracks. And of course, all are very well kept and nicely manicured. Cog’s practice facilities are excellent, with a huge Toptracer driving range and grass tees too. There’s numerous practice greens throughout the property, with a bunker and chipping area, and an entirely separate golf academy area with six PGA & LPGA professionals. Cog Hill has three separate pro shops, and all the merch you could possibly want, both of the logo and non-logo variety. Somehow the stately clubhouse feels both historic and modern at the same time; maybe classic is the best word to describe it. They host lots of weddings and events here. The restaurant has great food and all the American fare classics you’d expect. You’ll have a great golf experience here.
Cog Hill Course No. 4 - Dubsdread
Legendary Dubsdread opened in 1964 and was designed by Dick Wilson & Joe Lee, architects that also created Bay Hill, Doral's Blue Monster, PGA National Golf Club (East Course), and La Costa. Later, Rees Jones updated the venue in 2008. As of 2023, Dusdread sits at #56 in Golf Digest’s top-100 public US courses, and #92 in Golf.com’s top-100 public courses in the world. As previously mentioned, “Dubs” hosted PGA Tour events for decades, along with various USGA championships. It’s an exceptionally challenging course that tests a golfer's mettle at every opportunity.
At 7,554 yards, the course is one of the longest in the entire midwest. The absurd course rating of 78.0 from the championship tees implies disaster lurks everywhere. The slope rating of 153 denotes that bogie golfers are in for an extremely long day. After all, the maximum a slope rating can be is 155! Luckily, there’s 5 tee boxes to choose from. Pick your poison. Tiger Woods set the Dubsdread course record with a 62 in the 2009 BMW Championship here in 2009, a tournament he won by 8 strokes.

Cog Hill calls their practice area the Learning Center. The facilities here are top notch. They also have an amazing junior program.
The driving range has a tracking system called TopTracer, which analyzes your ball flight, just like the pros.
TopTracer keeps track of all your shots. You get the carry distance, total distance, ball speed, launch angle, height, hang time, etc. Really cool to see your cumulative shot stats and trajectories.
Dozens of hitting bays, at two different angles to the range. Everything is on one level -- not multiple floors.

Throughout the summer, Cog Hill has cool events where they setup Dubsdread as it was for the PGA Tour's BMW Championship from 2009-2011, with Sunday pin placements and all. In 2011, Justin Rose won at -13. Rose shot a ridiculous 8-under 63 in round 1, and finished the tournament with an even-par 71. Us mere mortals can play that setup for $195. They also have markers throughout the course showing the location of notable shots, like Tiger's ridiculous recovery shots from from the rough when he won in 2007 and 2009.
