Fifteen covered practice tees have been added along with five target greens to the driving range. The facility has also added to the length of the range making it a perfect place to test long irons and woods. An extra practice green has also been added along with an automated range-ball dispenser making Wilmette's golf facility a dream. The golf course itself is typical of a public course built on only 125 square acres. Like an exaggerated miniature putt-putt golf course, the layout is very tight.
Every hole is on top of at least another making a very forgiving course.
This characteristic can help the savvy golfer, as there are many places to check a later pin placement or landing area. The greens are what bring the crowd. The putting surfaces are in great condition and fast. But if it rains the course becomes slow and very easy to score well on even for the typical golfer. The fairways are kept in decent shaped with very long rough and well-placed trees.
