Foss Park Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Foss Park Golf Course has a convenient location in North Chicago that is an easy drive in from the city. It's a public course that is known amongst locals for being one of the area's best golf values. The layout is wide-open save for three holes that are framed by towering mature trees. The golf course strikes a good balance between being challenging and playable. The fairways are narrow and demand accuracy but the massive greens are more forgiving. Each hole offers a variety of different playing options, which makes the course appealing to a wide range of skill levels. The golf course has plenty of sand, plus water hazards come into play on several holes. There is also a driving range and large practice putting green available at Foss Park G.C.

Good day of golf
Excellent value. Tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways were in good shape. Greens rolled true with moderate speed. Bunkers were heavy. Good pace. Nice course and excellent staff service. The carts could use a upgrade but worked well. The course plays fairly. I will definitely return.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Foss Park Golf Course.

Easy and great
I played here for the first time. To be honest, I did not expect a lot first since the fee is so cheap. However, we all 4 players mentioned same that it’s so great, would come again. It’s wide, easy and well maintained. Will visit again.

Players are to blame I think.
Staff and course are fine. The players are of a different breed. Poor etiquette. Pace was slow which I didn't mind that day as I was working on stuff but still, need to be understanding.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the course and our staff. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with other players and the slow pace of play.
Worst management and worst course managing.
People who work there did not know anything about golf. They just easy working young people. Reception in golf shop does not know about score card. Golf cart guy does not provide cart on time... starter is young guy who smoking at starting point and just checked name and make play person, not by scheduled time... no ranger some people just playing same hole turn around turn around... I will not play anymore with this course.
We apologize for the negative experience you had at our golf course. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we will address these issues with our staff to ensure a better experience for all our customers in the future. Thank you.
There were no carts available, 16 were in disrepair .There was no starter or staff control on the course. When we were finally given a cart we were sent off the tenth without tine to warm up or practice putting.
Thunderstorms ended our round after nine holes, and when we asked about a rain check, the staff replied “We don’t issues rain checks based on weather”!
We are never going back there.

Very valuable place

Thank you for your review and for enjoying your experience playing golf at our establishment. We would love to have you play again in the future.
Great course for your spirits!
I loved playing this course bc it’s very open! If you’re looking to work on a few things without getting penalized, this is the course for you. Open fairways and big greens, what’s not to like.
