3 hour 9 hole round but great location and good value

If you're in a rush this is not the course to play but it's very convenient.

course nice but slow, and pending payment issues...

Course was in decent shape and nice to have something right downtown....but maybe that's part of why it played so slow.

My bigger issue was booking tee time thru golfnow.com, then course said it wasn't paid for and I had to pay again....now, I'm finding out it WAS paid for so I need to get the course to refund my money....the credit card transaction is currently pending, so I can't select it for contention yet.

Course in pretty good shape, Ruff a little thick.

Almost 4 hrs to play 9 holes ????

11:40 tee time - 12:05 start ????

No one moving anyone along or policing golfers' pace.

Nice course, as long as you are a very patient golfer, or socialize
more than golf.

Great condition considering it gets beat up all day everyday.

Great condition considering it gets beat up all day everyday. It seems like a lot of beginner players play here. You can expect a relatively slow pace of play. The course is short and relatively easy. The view is hard to beat as several holes run up against the lake. If you can take a 20+ minute drive outside the city, you'll find much better courses at cheaper prices, but if not you've got a decent course in the heart of Chicago's North Side.

Nice layout, 9 holes in a prime location in Chicago.

This 9 hole course is a gem located in the heart of Chicago right along the lakefront. Conditions are good for a municipal course. Gets a lot of play.
