Blown away!!! Until…read morerecently, I had absolutely no idea that this completely ginormous indoor golf lesson/practice facility even existed. From the outside it looks like a small space in an industrial building. But, when you drive around to the back parking/entrance, be prepared to be completely blown away once you step foot inside. What the what? The specialized rooms just kept on going and going and going. Today I receive a tour from Chris, one of the managing partners and instructors of this facility. The space overall is 13,000 square feet and inside they have putting greens, golf simulators, a driving range (what?), and all these cool assessment gadgets to help evaluate your stroke and help improve your putting skills so you can train to be a better golfer in your future. Whether you're a beginner kiddo to a grown adult (pro or golfer for fun), you can keep your skills up to par (see how I did that) throughout the winter weather right in Highland Park. Who knew? Just a hop skip and a jump off the expressway, and you'll be there in no time at all. Bonus points...Jewel/Osco is right across the street, so if you get hungry while you're at it, you can run and grab a bite. They offer 60 minute lessons and special practice times. Sadly (in a good kind of sad), I was so overwhelmed that I only snapped a couple of photos. Guess I'm going to have to sign up for lessons! Take note, they also host special events. Something to consider for your next party, perhaps?

If I lived in this town and played this course regularly and they spent all the money that they did…read morerehabbing this golf course I'd be really upset. The last time I played here it was cartpath only, why do you ask? Because they didn't fix the drainage problem. That's right, they spent millions of dollars and there is still water sitting on the fairways, ridiculous. Also why didn't they fix the cart paths out on the course? Some of them are so bad you have to drive on the grass. Again, why? Possibly the worse part about this whole mess is they don't tell you it's cartpath only until they take your money to play golf and a cart. What are you supposed to do? Go get your money back, load your clubs back in you're car and say good bye to your foresome? I hate that sh*t! The good part is is that they did a really nice job on the clubhouse, the dining room is much improved and they now actually have a small pro shop. The outdoor Patio is very nice and the grounds around the clubhouse armuch improved.

Staff was nice and I did not experience the "surly" nature that a previous Yelp reviewer left. Golf carts are nice & updated with GPS technology, and even have USB Chargers which is a nice touch. Great drainage on the course and honestly I didn't experience a soggy fairway, green or rough. I'm from Florida and even though I LOVE our courses I can say that drainage is an issue and it's highly appreciated when I travel out of state and play. So onto the negative. The pace of play was ROUGH. I had a 6:15 PM tee time, they had me behind a pair of 2 walking who was behind a foursome of females who were behind a foursome of females with two walking and two riding. I started at 5:45 PM and at 8:15 PM I was only at the 12th hole. The money I spent was a rip off. Too add to the chaos, there were two college age guys who were playing erratically, driving their golf cart all over the course hopping onto empty tee boxes, hitting shots that had no direction and then they continued to drive around the course like it was a Monster Jam rally. I play Golf often, and I've never seen such poor etiquette not only from the wild twosome but also people riding up in golf carts and joking a party in front of me. So the twosome walking in front of me became 2 walking + 1 riding. Absolute worst experience when it comes to game play ever. Honestly a refund of my money would have been great versus the wasted afternoon/twilight session that could have been enjoyable. Your course is gorgeous but that's about it.

As far as the actual lessons and instruction are concerned, Robert Jan seems to be very…read moreknowledgeable and can easily spot things to correct or tweak to better your golf game. In 3 lessons, he has helped to improve my grip, stance, and swing (backswing and follow through). HOWEVER, my experience was completely soured by his attitude and demeanor. The very first lesson was scheduled for a Thursday at 5pm. I left work early at 4 and according to the GPS I would arrive at 4:41pm with plenty of time to spare. However, I have not been out to Deerfield before and there was heavy traffic on the freeway and the roads leading to the club. I parked my car at 5:05 and quickly walked over to the range. At exactly 5:08 I passed a gentleman in a blue shirt driving away from the range in a golf cart. Not knowing where to meet (there were no signs or previous instructions) I asked the lady at the range office and she told me that Mr. Jan is usually at the end of the range teaching, but she had not seen him, so she told me to wait at the entrance with her and another staff member. We waited until about 5:25 and still did not see him, and were becoming concerned. The staff commented that "he's usually only 5-10 min late, so this is strange". I then saw the same gentleman from before come up from the opposite side this time and parked at the end of the range. I asked if that was Mr. Jan and at first the staff said no, but then a minute later said they thought it was. So I walked over and introduced myself, apologized for being late, and tried to quickly explain the mix-up - but I barely got through my first sentence. When I mentioned that I actually passed right by him at 5:08 not knowing it was him (no name tag or clothing to indicate anyone working there), to my surprise, Mr. Jan immediately cut me off and told me "no you didn't, no way" and that I was wrong and was much later that that. He said he waited until 5:15 before leaving (absolutely untrue), and that I was lucky he even came back, implying he would normally take off in case a student was late. I again apologized for being late but he continued to berate me for being tardy, saying that other professionals charge $160/lesson and that students wouldn't dare to be late. He questioned why I did not call or text or e-mail - I tried to explain that I was driving and trying to find the place, but he did not want to hear it. At this point it was 5:30 and he told me I have until 6pm so "do you want to hit some balls or what?". I just shut my mouth and went through the half hour lesson instead of the full hour I paid for. After the lesson I apologized again and promised that I would not be late again, now that I know where the club was and the traffic conditions. My 2nd lesson was the following Tuesday at 3pm. I left extra early this time and arrived at the range (where we met last time) at 2:41pm exactly. I waited until 3:05 but no one showed up. I walked to the pro shop and they told me no one had seen Mr. Jan that day and to just wait at the range. I waited at the range until 3:20 and went back to the pro shop again to ask for Mr. Jan's phone number. I called (no answer) and left a voicemail saying I would be heading back to work shortly. A few minutes later I received a text message from a different number saying he was with a client and would be there in 2 minutes. After confirming that was in fact Mr. Jan I went back to the range. Around 3:25 Mr. Jan showed up the range and acted as if nothing happened - no apology at all. I was shocked that the previous week he was so upset I was 8 minutes late, yet he was almost a half hour late this time (and since I was early, I waited almost 50 minutes total). He did say he tried to call me but it must have been my father's number since he bought the Groupon for me. I later asked my father and he confirmed he did not receive any phone calls. Although we started at almost 3:30, the lesson ended before 4:20 (again less than the full 1 hour), and Mr. Jan was frequently checking his cell phone while I hit the practice balls by myself. My 3rd lesson was the following Tuesday, again at 3pm. I arrived even earlier this time at 2:38pm. I thought to myself there is no way this guy will be late again this time. But sure enough, ​Mr. Jan did not show up until 3:07pm - again, no apology and no explanation! I was bewildered. I really should have said something, but I am not the confrontational type and went through the lesson and thanked him for his time. When I was scolded for being late the first lesson, I thought to myself "boy, this guy is a true professional, and will not tolerate tardiness" and I can definitely respect that - after all, his time must be very valuable. So I made it a point to be on time - in fact, VERY early from then on. Unfortunately, it turns out that Mr. Jan is consistently late to his lessons (if the staffs' comments are any indication) and he is an obvious hypocrite. For that reason alone, I will not be back.

The golf staff is a mixed bag of folks - some pleasant and others downright rude. In this business you need employees who are good at customer service and don't have an attitude. The office/clubhouse folks were all fine. Nice enough however some a tad slow and often bunches of them are in the clubhouse and no one is outside at the bag drop. One starter - an older, blond haired guy with a German accent - was downright rude. Makes a person not want to play there! He was muttering under his breath checking us in, complaining about where the carts were placed on the narrow path by his check in stand (not his fault-just bad design of the paths) and scowling all the time. The woman at the halfway house was beyond rude and should not be allowed to work in customer service. Maybe she was bored because no one stops there due to her attitude and the crazy high prices such as the fact that they won't give you ice water in a cup "I sell water" she nastily commented. "You have to fill your own container in back at the fountain." So if I don't want to buy a sugary drink or beer and I didn't bring a water bottle I have to buy bottled $5 water after paying $60+ to pay a round? Now that's really bad policy - penny wise and pound foolish. The restaurant servers as everywhere are overworked and lack training. The menu is okay (food was covered in a separate post) but the draft beers are way, way overpriced. This is not a destination bar people go to in order to have a good time, this is a golf clubhouse restaurant that serves beer and drinks for golfers to enjoy and spend MORE money after their round. If they want us to stay, they need to be reasonably priced or we will go somewhere else. The golf course after reopening certainly has better drainage than before in most former trouble areas however numerous changes to the course make it maddening to play there. Perhaps they are trying to weed out occasional golfers and only want their clientele who always ride the $20 per person rental carts. First they no longer have colored flags nor do they use the 1,2,3 system to identify front, middle and back for the pin. Why? Well we asked and they said it it's because they expect the golfers to use the updated green visualization on the golf carts...but what if you are walking? Too bad - you'll have no idea where the pin is unless you have a range finder. Great job planning that feature. Not. Second they no longer have distance markers at the side of the fairways as they had in the past. You must walk to the middle of the fairway and find them to see where those markers are and then pace back to your ball. That's fine if you are always right in the middle AND always hitting your shots within 10 yards of those markers otherwise they are hard to find or see. Third is the ongoing lack of ball mark repairing on the greens and of the divots on tee boxes. This is partially an indication of the greens keepers lack of detail AND the lack of etiquette of the players who play here. If they are not fixed overnight by the greens keepers then the first players will find the greens and tee boxes in horrible shape and they won't repair their ballmarks and divots either and it just keeps getting worse. Fourth is the drink cart that if you are lucky to see has no ice or cups. What? Is this part of the "force them to buy water" policy? Now I realize that decent help is hard to find these days however some of these issues are problems of bad management and lack of training as well as poorly designed course course features. It almost seems like non golfers designed some of these policies and changes because they make no good sense in a normal golf world. Am hoping the 2023 season will bring better trained, more customer focused and friendly staff, a return to better on course golf amenities and more reasonable restaurant pricing - especially on draft beer.

Unfortunately, LA Fitness as a business has been the complete opposite. The gym constantly has broken machines, sinks that don't work, a front door thats broken for weeks, and there hasn't been hot water for nearly two weeks. Then, today, I walked in and found out the gym is closing permanently on November 20, giving members just 17 days' notice. I recently paid $720 for 9 personal training sessions and $118 for the annual membership fee, both of which I can't use now. My trainer told me he's out of town until after the gym closes, so I literally cannot use what I already paid for. When I spoke with Jessica Zavala, the District Operations Manager, she refused a refund and kept repeating the fine print of the contract, like she was a lawyer. She said I could "just go to another club" or "pick a new trainer." I don't have transportation. The only reason I'm able to work out at this gym is because my wife drops me off on her way to work. I didn't sign up to start over with a different trainer or go to a different gym miles away. I paid for this location, with this trainer, and expected LA Fitness to operate in good faith. This is incredibly unethical and shows zero integrity. A multi-billion-dollar company should not be hiding behind contract technicalities while closing a gym with barely two weeks' notice and refusing to refund customers for services they can't possibly use. All I want is a fair refund for what I didn't get.
