Great course

I have been playing here since 2000. I love it. You can see a beautiful view of Lake Michigan from the putting green of hole nine.

Very nice historical course in Chi-Town!

located just 20 minutes from downtown, Jackson Park GC is a nice, though short, 18-hole layout in the middle of southside Chicago. While short, don't be fooled on some holes, there is a par-3 that is more than 200y and there is a par-5 that is over 550y. Easy to walk. Get some exercise. Go see Vivian and Kristy, who run the shop and outside operations, and are very helpful and friendly.

Home

I recently moved to the area and this is basically home base or my new home course. I love walking this course as it’s very easy to do. You can really feel the energy of being in the city too especially on #9,10 and 12 and 13. It’s not the longest course but has two back to back par 5’s. It’s been in excellent shape all summer especially the traps which is amazing for Chicago area courses. It has lots of trees and a water hole or two. It’s narrow in a few spots and occasionally you have to make a choice to not hit driver and use good course management. You can definitely come here and shoot for your personal best score and many holes offer great scoring opportunities.

Pretty good municipal course

Greens are the beat part of the course. Sand traps are dirt and not sand. Bunkers need to be totally redone.

Fairways are decent. If you are a new golfer or just want to get in a quick round to work on your game then its good for that given the price.

Im a 4 handicap and so its not a course I would play a lot.

Descent but….

For the life of me, I struggle to understand why they cannot turn off the water sprinkler in time for an early round?!!’ Beware if you book a tee time from the first tee to 7a you will run into Chicago Park Districts Sprinkers watering system.

We only have 4 months to golf in Chicago.. please get it together guys.
