Great value

My only complaint was the condition of the bunkers, but I was able to fit 18 holes into three hours for a great price. The starter was very helpful. I’ll be back. Great to play 18 holes in Chicago by the lakefront.

Always amazing

This is such a gem. Great holes. Great shape for a muni course. I played with my 10yo son and they were so welcoming to him. Pace was a little slow but I think we just came in after a league so that was understandable. 18 holes in the city of Chicago for these prices is unbeatable. You won’t regret coming here.

I really enjoy playing this course. It's relatively flat which makes it easy to walk. What I find year in, and year out is where's the the freaking SAND!? Additionally I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks those greens rolls way too slow. Why don't Jackson Park put up some kind of decoys to thwart off the geese? I have to go straight home and shower after my round because I leave smelling like geese poop yuk!

Hello Beautiful

It had been years since I've golfed JP. My loss. I couldn't have been more pleased with the condition of the course and the greens. Lake Michigan views, mature trees, some really lovely landscaping...just gotta be really careful and patient crossing a couple streets. With the on-going road construction the entrance to the park is poorly marked, and just off the ROAD CLOSED sign. Good luck! But worth finding your way in.

Good Choice

This course is a good 18 hole course that presents a good variation of challenges for the recreational player. Wide fairways, good green play, adequate buckers (need sand upgrade), trees and various lays and grass lengths. Worth playing and excellent for evaluating equipment.

Great course from the past.

This is a wonderful course. One of the prettiest anywhere with views of lake Michigan and J.P. Harbor.
Trees and beauty abound .
Unpretentious and a challenge to any handicap without being punishing.
Slow pace is a little bothersome but take the time to see the beauty of the design.
