Course in very good shape. Great value for the money

Maintenenacehas improves since the last time I played this course (in may). The fairways seemed to have marks of a hail storm! But the greens are in excellent shape. I will recommend this course to anyone. Yesterday the play was slow because of a tournament

A lot of dead grass

Course needs some love a lot of mesh around greens and no maintenance or watering to grow. Was really backed up on the back nine 16 year old kids playground

Ok course, but...

There are huge swaths of dead grass/mud where we were told that they overfertilized and killed everything. The front 9 was worse than the back. I will wait until 2025 to play there again - when the course has had a chance to recover.

Front 9 Needs some Work

Philips Golf Course is a nice course that is a good place to get your game in shape. Last year, the course was in great shape but this year the front nine has burnt grass on most of the holes. The course and tee boxes need some watering.

Front 9 burned out rough, back 9 perfect

This is an older established course that is fun to play. No homes encroaching and each hole is unique. However, the staff applied the wrong chemical (Round Up?) to the rough on the front 9 and it was totally dead. The fairways and greens were fine and the back 9 was perfect, so we still enjoyed the round.

Nice track. Just enough challenge at every hole !

This is one of my favorite courses in the area. Not too difficult to walk. The holes are laid out nicely. Friendly people at the desk. Needs some attention to the sand bunkers. They are rock hard!

Halfway house ruined our experience

Everything was really great. Pace of play was good. Conditions were good except it seemed like did some recent drainage improvements as there were quite a few patches of new grass under repair. Starter was really nice and the ranger came by a couple times to check on everyone. Cart girls made their rounds as well. Only bad thing we experienced was the kitchen didn’t prepare our food order when we called ahead of time.

Enjoyable round

Challenging layout with many hills. Greens in great shape. Large sections with “burnt out” grass-not sure why? Would play again

Golfing on Mother’s Day

It was Mother’s Day, but the pace of play on the back nine was terrible. The staff inside were friendly, but the starter was extremely rude.

Wet weather
Walked

Phillips Park Golf Course grounds are being mis managed

This is a fun golf course, great to walk and not very hard, a real confidence booster. I've played it for years now.

Unfortunately the Course Superintendent, or acting Superintendent is doing a terrible job of taking care of the course. The greens are obviously stressed, showing signs of browning out, which seems near impossible in the this wet season, yet they are.

The course is not being properly roped off to manage the wet areas and carts are allowed to drive all over the course digging up fairways and rough alike.

Add to that a horrible mistake of over fertilizing a bunch of areas on the front nine, that have now turned brown and are dying off, you have the makings of a once really nice park district course, in a possible irreversible decline.

Adding to the mismanagement, is a huge % increase in greens fees (40%) for the seniors, both residents and non residents that were not reflected across the board. For many of us fixed income seniors this seems like an unnecesary and harsh treatment of the very folks who use the golf course the most.
