Cold & Windy
Course was in great condition as were the greens. Pace was good even though there were lots of golfers. The weather was cold and windy but the round was still very enjoyable.
Best 9 hole course in the Chicago area!!
What can I say, but I’m so fortunate to have been playing this course for over 20 years! Always in great conditions, with the nicest people working there and very appreciative to have this close to Chicago. Thank you!! Extremely grateful to Peter the Manager who makes this course the Best in the area with the nicest staff around, always helpful and courteous to every golfer ⛳️
Short Round
Course was in great shape. Pace was good. Enjoyed the round very much.
Tam - Hidden Gem
Looking to get in 9 holes. I have driven by the course many times and finally got the urge to play it. Shorter par 4s and challenging par 3s. Course was in great shape for being late March. Greens were in great shape rolling true.
It was one of those courses where you feel great after you’ve finished. Friendly staff, enjoyable all the way around.
What more could you ask for to start the season! - course was clean and in great shape for the 2nd day of march. Welcoming staff, pace was good for it being crowded. Still the best 9 hole option around.
It was fun
We went on a Tuesday morning and pace of play was good. Course was in great condition considering all the rain. We walked with 3 players and were done in just over two hours.
Top notch
Great short course. Great pub I played a thousand times
Still in great shape for late season...Course does a great job keeping leaves clear and staff is always friendly.
Gem of a course
Besides being a historic course, it’s an absolute hidden gem. The course is maintained perfectly. The entire staff goes over the top and actually remembers your name if you play there more than once. Peter, the GM, is so accommodating anytime we have a small request and makes you feel like it’s a country club. After the round the on-site restaurant/bar Howard Street Inn makes it even more special. We have a few drinks and relive the round. If you have not played it I highly recommend you give it a try.
Best 9-hole course around
If not the best, Tam is definitely one of the best 9-holes courses I've played in the Chicagoland area. The staff in the pro-shop and the ranger/starter were very friendly and engaging. Most holes were pretty straight but strategically placed bunkers and a couple tough par 3's made for a a fun round. Would definitely recommend the course to anyone.
Best nine hole golf course in Illinois
Original course layout was the first televised golf tournament held.
