A couple of memorable holes.

Course needs renovation and better greens/conditions to charge the rates they want during prime times.

If you can get a decent twilight deal, go for it. It’s not a bad track for a chill evening round after work. Also weird though that you can’t post to GHIN from this course.

No enforcement of pace of play. Rangers will straight up tell you that you didn’t pay enough money for them to stop groups from play 30min per hole scramble rounds.

Otherwise a decent course at a very reasonable rate. Off course amenities are bare bones but that’s ok for a city course.

Wish they would actually keep pace of play to at least 15min a hole and then this place would be a real gem

Hey it isn’t perfect but this place is a great value for golfers.

Greens weren’t perfect but everything else is solid

Left my rangefinder and the proshop called me to come pick it… can you beat the customer service?

Greens were in good shape and I loved the routing.

Price is great value. Will be back

Played to the stadard 4hr15min round for a foursome and we were harassed the entire round to play faster by the ranger. We were in position the entire time, so I’m not sure what the issue was.

Nice course in decent condition for December. However I would not return if I thought there was a chance to be harassed the entire round again as it completely gets in your head and ruins the round.

Here’s a tip to the course management and anyone reading this review… don’t ever do this if people are playing at a normal pace. Really rude and will earn you a reputation.

Starter was disorganized and let a two slow groups of 8 people out without a tee time just before my group.

Course overall was in ok condition given the large rainstorms the night before. Almost all the bunkers were unplayable due to standing water. Greens were great although the pin positions were a bit goofy. No terrible dry brown spots or torn up areas. The trainyard is loud as heck, but oh well.

Overall I like this course and will come back cause you can't beat the price, closeness to the city, and the fact that it was set up easy enough to allow me to shoot into the 80s for the first time. Also I only lost one ball because there aren't many OB areas which is nice for my game as well.

Course was in decent condition but won’t play again for 85 dollars.

Short and well kept. Challenging in places

Good job with the renovation.

It’s a short course but the greens make it memorable

Well kept. No real complaints and price was fair/good for the area

Always have a great time here. Port is definitely second fiddle to starboard, but I like both more than most suburban courses.

Twilight rates are a steal and the best value.

Practice range is top notch

Will keep coming here.

Mostly in good condition. Greens a bit beat up but there was just an outing just got off the course.

Layout and value similar to other options in the area

Course was in ok shape. Some tee boxes were beat up along with the cart paths needing heavy repair work.

Still had a great time although I feel like this course is about 30-50dollars overpriced for the value.

Where is the drink cart? Almost never see it on this course….

Started on the back 9 walking and was able to get 9 holes finished in 80min or so. Course was in reasonable condition for a muni. Short but there was a bit of challenge with the hazards and the undulating greens. Next time I will try to get the walking rate directly with the course to save the cart fee as the value was a bit less than the price I paid ($29).

Fun golf if you are working with a less than ideal ball striking ability. Greens are decently kept and multi tiered so they can be quite challenging.

Course was in great condition. I really liked the length and layout. If it wasn't so far out the way for me, I would go more often.

This is a very cheap course located inside Chicago's Austin neighborhood. It probably could use some updating, but it's ok as it is (a flat easy practice course). I really liked the dogleg par 5 (hole 4 I think) and the second hole (par 3). Unfortunately the course was pretty chewed up, wet, and full of dandelions causing me to lose balls I normally wouldn't. The greens were the nicest part of the course. Almost all of them were in decent shape. If the course were drier, I could see myself coming back here. Also it is important to point out the course is very flat and the fairways are wide. There are almost no trees on the course.

For being a public course in the city, I'm not sure you could beat this course for the value. I think the course has really turned around since I played it last about 2 yrs ago. Everything is in good condition (greens, fairways, bunkers...etc) and the staff is friendly. Playing so close to people/houses/cars/etc makes me a little nervous given my errant beginner's shooting coupled with my ability to hit it long, but there were only a few holes where I felt like I was actually playing in the city. They even had a par 5 that was 560 yds (wow!). I am sure I'll be back a few times this year.
