Convenience Golf
Love the course because it’s well maintained and conveniently located.
Great long 9 hole with lake views- just don’t expect a quick round!
Basically what the title says. I love this course but people always get bent out of shape waiting. It’s the busiest 9 hole course in North America, smack dab in the middle of the city. If you play here just remember that the people in front of you probably had to wait on someone who was waiting on someone. Good vibes only! Come to relax and don’t shoot balls at folks when there is a chance it will roll up on them :)
Great city course!
Love playing here right on the lake. My favorite part is that they have the Marshalls telling people to speed up play so it doesn't take 3 hours for 9 holes. Super friendly. Tricky greens and great course overall!
Needs Better Accommodations
Played Marovitz for the first time, and though I liked the course, it is lacking in basic amenities. In the men's room, signs are posted that several toilets are closed because of a falling ceiling. The clubhouse looks like it hasn't been renovated in decades. The course is always crowded, so there are people waiting at the first tee, but there are no benches for them. Zero. Can the Chicago Park District find a few benches and/or picnic tables? The greens were in good shape, and though the fairways were dry from lack of rain they were still playable. This is the busiest course in Chicago, so I would hope that the Park District can make some improvements.
Nice Course, Rude Starter
Always like playing at this course. My group was at our morning tee time on time and the starter made us walk up to the middle of the fairway to star the round, he was rude and didn’t answer our questions for why we had to do this. Hope others haven’t had a similar experience. Hopefully this was a one time thing.
Great after work round
Great place to play 9 holes after work. The course was in great shape, very easy to find errant balls. They had sprinklers on while we were playing which was troublesome at times but otherwise a perfect round
The starter is extremely rude
The course is very nice, especially for the price and located beautifully right off the lake. The starter they employ, has been rude, mean, and extremely.intense any time we have played there. The guy takes his job WAY too seriously and needs to do something about his anger problems. He yells at people and is very inappropriate. Seriously, reign this guy in, he screws the whole thing up to use his words.
