Can’t beat the price, location or ability to go low!

Optimal time to play is first thing in the AM during the week - 90-110min rounds. Avoid weekend afternoons during the summer. Just played on 02 Jan 2025 - three others out there. Love winter golf. Oh yes - and the staff are great! Wonderful people. Enjoy! Best bang for your birdie buck if you live in the city and want to hit a 9hole track.

Winter golf

The course was in great shape for this time of year and after a day of rain. I’m so happy that courses stay open all year round!

Play Early to have a snowball's chance at good pace of play

Great service, happy to have a starter that's worthwhile as well as some rangers out there! Course is in great shape for October. Just about 2.5 hours to get in 9 holes on a Sunday morning when it was in the 40s. I'd expect faster.

Great course in the heart of Chicago!

My son and I had a great time playing this course! We had not planned on golfing while we were here but luckily they had rental clubs and tee times available and we really enjoyed it. The setting is gorgeous.

Chicago Golf

Nice 9 holes course in Chicago. Right next to Lake Michigan. Greens are large and very receptive. Cost is very reasonable. I definitely would recommend this course for all skill levels. Will play it again the next time I visit Chicago and want to do a quick 9 holes.
