Greens

Always great yesterday a few greens were under repair we only played 9 but couldn't putt on three holes. That is not common for there usually always great. For weekend rate for 9 I would have discounted it knowing 3 holes were not fully functional. This is my go to course and still will be.

South Shore Golf Course

The course is in pretty good condition for a public course however there are still a couple of greens on the back 9 recovering from damage caused by vandals. The pace of play was a little slow but not bad. Staff always friendly.

Full Price for Temporary Greens

This course has so much potential but they are losing fans of it by having people pay $80+ for 2 temporary greens on the back 9, tee boxes that are straight up dirt, and jamming it with back to back tee times. There’s just zero care anymore, but why would they fix anything if people keep playing it.

Stay away until the summer months.

Cold…but the course was open.

Played golf on a 32 degree January day. Windy and cold but I’m not complaining. The golf course was open. Everything is as to be expected. Ground is frozen, fairways and greens are hard. Don’t expect to place a tee in the ground. Just use a fairway wood off the tee. If you have the need to pay golf and don’t care about the weather the course is in perfect condition to knock off the rust.

South Shore

Played on a clear 35 degree day so the course was empty. There are still two greens that are unplayable due to vandalism during the summertime. Not a very challenging course but perfect for average golfers like myself.

Great conditions for December golf

Played a quick round on a 36 degree day in December. The course was in very good condition. I was truly amazed at how green the fairways were. Greens actually rolled pretty true as well. Pace of play…well there were only 4-5 golfers on the tract. Way better than the last time I was here enduring a mind numbing 5 hour round. High praise to the grounds keepers.

A little tip…don’t wear good golf shoes. The course is covered in goose poop. Management needs a few border collies to scare off the flocks of. geese.

Save your time and money.

Paid full price and course has temp greens on 12 and 14th holes. God forbid they blow a leaf or two. You hit your ball into the fairway and you are not finding it. Hopefully one day they figure out how to keep those SOBs who keep destroying the greens off the course.

I would have given a better rating if given a discount AND they addressed the leaf situation. The fact that we have to pay full price and deal with the leaves is a disgrace.

Battle of Park Chop Hill on Veteran's Day

So, I had a 10:15 AM tee time at South Shore this morning. I pull into the parking lot and it's packed. No spaces. As I drive past the 1st tee a see an enormous back-up. I've been golfing for over 40 years and NEVER have I seen a jammed up 1st tee like I saw this morning (see photo). It would have taken at least 2 hours or longer to tee off!!! I went into the Pro (phylactic) Shop to cancel my 10:15 and get a refund and the clerk told me that I cannot get a refund and insisted that my 10:15 tee time would be honored. Of course, that's impossible. Look at the crowd waiting to tee off. This is clearly not right. I will be contacting my credit card compound to see if I can dispute the charge and get a refund. Ya think they would have called and let folks know about the delay. I walked out without playing.
