Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course

Really love to golf here. Beautiful scenery and the course was in great shape for so late in the year.

Stopped for a hotdog and a cold beverage on our way out!

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.

Solid quick 9 holes 65-70 mins if your out first

Only of your early early tee time

Poor quality rentals

Most people walk

Great sunrise views

Cold weekend

Beautiful setting right near downtown. Easy to get to and very reasonable green fees.

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.

They are very rude, especially the one where at the first they’re shouting us!! And also, the course are not maintained well. They are starting to Sprinkle the grass while we are playing…

Absolutely we don’t recommend this course to anyone in prices is expensive

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.

Course is looking as rough as I’ve ever seen it this week. Probably a combo of no run and end of summer lots of play but it was pretty bad.

Almost everything on the fair was hitting off dirt. Perfect shots landed with awful lies everytime. Ground was hard.

Greens were punched with no warning when booking.

I’ve seen Sydney in good to great shape so I know it’s possible but right now it’s just beat.

Can’t beat getting home in 6 minutes after the round though. Worth it.

I will start with the negatives and try to end with the positive aspects of the course. The pace of play and overall course conditions (tee boxes, fairway grass, sand in the bunkers, and the greens) are poor at best. The tee boxes are not level. Ant mounds cover the fairways, and the grass has no depth. The sand is more like dirt with rocks. The greens are long and shaggy, and no one repairs the ball marks. On a positive note, the layout, location, and views of Lake Michigan are good. It is a course that has potential, but I will find other courses to play.
