Am I the only person in Chicagoland (aside from its members, I'd assume) that likes Onwentsia? I played Knollwood, Onwentsia, and Skokie each for the first time this year, and I really don't see a big gap between the three, and I certainly thought it better than some of the courses I've played down the list, like Edgewood Valley and Lagrange. It doesn't have the quality of green complexes that you find at Knollwood and Skokie, but it's certainly the model from tree removal among those courses. I love the routing there, especially for a suburban club where you might be limited on time in an afternoon. I could put together countless 4,5,6, and 7 hole loops. My biggest criticism would be that I found it odd to have a river which runs through or next to seven different holes, yet never once actually comes into play. I rarely see it mentioned here, so I'm curious as to what the knocks on it are.
