Any Dry Courses out there?

[J.R.]

Can any of the Fox Valley crowd (or anyone else) give me an update on how the Oswego course is right now?  I assume it's wet, but how bad?  Is it playable?

We held the club tourney when the water was at the highest level around here and Oswego was fine. I would think that it was in pretty good shape right now.

The course is pretty good with the exception of hole 8 around the dogleg part of the fairway, other than that, the wood chips heep the course very playable.

I played Oswego on Sunday & it wasn't bad. Didn't even get my socks wet at all. This week's rain might have made it a bit wetter out there, but with all the wood chip paths you should be OK.

i played lombard last weekend and it is the least dry course that i've seen.  i would not suggest anybody go play there.

I 2nd that. It was a mud pit when we played Glow and I can only imagine what it must be since more rain.

lombard and fink I think are the 2 scariest courses to play when it rains.  I played Fink on monday and you're squishing around the entire time.  There wasn't a whole lot of standing water, but it was just soppy grass and mud (like how it would be if you just laid down new sod and were watering the snot out of it)

I'm not so sure of that. I played Summit on Monday. There were a couple of (and I quote) "fairways" under water.

Thanks for the updates.

I actually figured Lombard would be fairly dry, thanks for the warning. 

Fink is the closest course to me, and I will say that it gets BAD when its wet.  But Summit is worse.  I was there last spring and hole 3 was completely under water, as was most of 6, the tee pad for 7 and the whole left side of 9 (which is the only playable side).  I ran into Mike and he said they added some drainage...maybe not enough yet.

Brakel-Murphy Gardens is high and dry.
