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.
