Foss Park Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Foss Park Golf Course has a convenient location in North Chicago that is an easy drive in from the city. It's a public course that is known amongst locals for being one of the area's best golf values. The layout is wide-open save for three holes that are framed by towering mature trees. The golf course strikes a good balance between being challenging and playable. The fairways are narrow and demand accuracy but the massive greens are more forgiving. Each hole offers a variety of different playing options, which makes the course appealing to a wide range of skill levels. The golf course has plenty of sand, plus water hazards come into play on several holes. There is also a driving range and large practice putting green available at Foss Park G.C.

good day to play but!
Course was ready to play but, restrooms were closed so my wife who needs to use restroom while out on the course was in a poor situation more than once. Made it through front nine but had to run back to clubhouse while out on the back could not finish course and was very unhappy as it effected he ability to play golf! Unfair to say the least. Course was in decent shape but amenities like both sets of bathrooms to be closed was unfair to say the least. Also on a very warm day water coolers were out of water? How hard is for staff to check them and keep them full for golfers to stay refreshed and have water! Also bad customer service and safety on a very warm day! But with bathrooms closed I guess they wanted you not to need to use the bathroom? Sad for a decent layout in reasonable condition to do this to people who would expect more!

Nice course mean staff
I arrived 20 min prior to tee time but they would not let me check I . They said they were on a frost delay so they would wait to check Everyone in after the frost delay why?
One the frost delay was over I asked if we could start on the back because 15
People were waiting to tee off the front the man working as the starter was aggressive and said absolutely not.
So we Waited an 30 min to tee off.
The play was slow and remember to bring 5 dollars for the key deposit you get it back after you 4.5 hour round if you remember
Ok course just unprofessional rude staff

Turtle Central
Terrible outing. Tee boxes were so long you needed 4 inch tees. Course wasn’t in bad shape just tee boxes were too long or too fluffy. The REAL ISSUE IS PACE OF PLAY. UNLIKE ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN. There was a Six-some on 1 green and literally 4 groups on another hole from tee to green. I took pics but I can’t upload here.

Dandy course
Has a few very tight challenging holes, a few long playing holes and a few that are pretty easy
Well rounded course
First tee always seems crowded but the pace levels out pretty quickly
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Foss Park Golf Course.
