Fun City Course
Fun course right on the lake. The men’s bathroom was literally something out of a horror film. 8 toilets clogged with crap, and the smell made it challenging to even enter. Also had door falling off the stalls. It looked as if no one has cleaned it in months!

Solid Downtown Course
Nice track just north of the Chicago River. Lake views are wonderful and the course is very walkable parkland layout. Take in the surroundings, play some golf, tricky greens so be ready to make a putt

Perfect day for golf on the lakefront
Couldn't have asked for a better day to golf at Sydney Marovitz! After all of the recent rain, the grass was in great shape. The staff was friendly and helpful. Then we went to the Cubs game, and they won!
