TAM Is My "Private Club"

I've been playing at TAM weekly for over 14 years, and twice weekly for the past 2 years. On a beautiful summer evening, I look around and can't believe it is a municipal course -- beautiful greens, well-kept landscaping, and the sight of wildlife -- deer, coyote, blue heron, very large turtles -- almost guaranteed. Water hazards aren't man-made, they're the North Branch of the Chicago River. The staff members are great,, and dinner always follows only steps away at the Howard Street Inn adjacent to and overlooking the course.

Best 9 Hole Golf Course

Tam is an exceptional 9 hole course. Challenging holes, very well maintained and attractive landscaping. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Great restaurant on course to end play with a delicious meal and conversation. Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to play a quick 9.

Love Tam O'Shanter

I have played at Tam as part of a ladies league for 25 years. Management is very supportive to our Tam Glams League who were previous Executive Women Golf (EWG) members. The price is right for me since some of us now enjoy their senior rate; a very good value.

Our league plays off the whites and the course is always challenging, no cake walk since we are over water three times, but is always in good shape.

Staff are very friendly, and the food is great off an extensive menu especially when served on their outdoor patio.

Great Nine Hole Course!

Beautifully landscaped, easy to walk course, but with some challenging holes. A fun place to play - then have dinner at the Howard Street restaurant right at the course - I will definately be back!

Solid 9 hole track

Best 9 hole course around. Course conditions are good and can offer a challenge with tight/narrow fairways. Usually slow pace of play but that is the case at all public courses around. Reasonable price too.

Very nice course

This is a really nice nine hole with some unique holes and your are able to pull out the driver. Course was in great shape and they even had a beverage cart. Ranger was posted on the 5th hole to keep things moving. Restaurant is fantastic. This is a very accommodating facility

Great place to play and eat!

I have been playing in the Tuesday night ladies golf league for 5 years and Peter has been extremely accommodating to us over the years, it's deeply appreciated by all the Tam Glams ladies! We always stay for dinner afterwards and the food and the wait staff are wonderful! Looking forward to seeing everyone next year!
