About
South Shore Golf Club was formerly a private nine-hole course but now it is part of the Chicago Park District Golf collection, which features five other courses. Although it is seemingly out of the way, tucked in the southeast corner of the Chicago metro area, it is one of the most affordable rounds you'll find in the area. Through the stands of mature trees, golfers can catch glimpses of Lake Michigan. The carefully preserved landscape has earned the golf course recognition as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The par-33 layout features tree-lined fairways and small greens. It's a golf course that requires accuracy but it's not overly punishing for high handicappers. South Shore Golf Club is a great course if you're looking to get some short game practice or squeeze in a quick round.

Golfer Reviews
Tuff/Challenging
This course is my favorite nine (9) hole course. Its design will keep you challenged and teach you what it takes to become a better player.
Great staff and conditions
The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly for a first timer. The course was challenging, and fun. Great views of Downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan, what’s not to like?
Course condition
The course has several areas that are under repair on the day that I last played. This is due to the extreme storm and wind conditions that recently occurred in Chicago. This, however, did not hamper the playing experience very much. The greens are immaculate and true. The overall round was very enjoyable.
Great practice course
Great course to work on your irons and woods. Easy to walk.

I enjoy playing this course. Add to the fact its 2 miles from home. The practice range has contributed to my improved play. Always a challenge.
Course is still under repair from renovation. Some Areas are roped off.
Despite the rain storms and course upgrade that are roped off, the course is still a jewel in the community.
South Shore Country Club
A true 1906 dCountry Club, long executive course. It is a hoot to play, sometimes busy but they always seem to get me out. Yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to take a JPGA caddy, and we had a hoot.
Continuous Improvement
A snack/beverage cart driving around would be nice. The signs at each hole need to be bigger and more visible. People dont usually know where the next hole is. Hole 6 had a lot of flowers on the green. Also there were a lot of buts on the course.
