Rainy Day

The green has rivers, so putting was extremely hard.

Great Course

It was my first time playing here and I had a blast. Showed up as a solo and played with 3 other great gentleman. Course was in great shape - Greens just a touch fuzzy- but overall awesome conditions. Staff was very friendly. Both of the rangers were very personable and joked around with us. It was 72 and sunny and you couldn’t ask for anything better. Will definitely be back.

Greens Punched… slow rolls

Not bad but the greens are still healing up so putting is pretty rough.

Your only option in the area but it's not bad at all.

Giving 5 stars for the relative quality given the public options in Chicago. Solid distance at 3250 yards for 9 hole par 36. Expect to play slow (2-2.5 hours). If you have a $25 advantage card you save $5. There are always hot deals for cheap like $13.99. Follow me and DM me on Instagram @chicagofitnessdaddy if you ever wanna golf together. I am here all the time.

Great Chicago Park Course

This might be the best Chicago park district course in the city. Very nice course, somewhat challenging, well kept. The wind off the lake is pretty rough (not the course’s fault).
