Great Chicago Park Course

This might be the best Chicago park district course in the city. Very nice course, somewhat challenging, well kept. The wind off the lake is pretty rough (not the course’s fault).

Don't go

This course has hostile and aggressive staff and patrons to anyone who doesn't shoot from the blue tees and walk. If you don't want people to use the yellow tees, why have them? 3rd time having issues here. I will never be back. Staff yells at you for "coaching" when you're giving someone a pointer on their footwork, but has no problem with people who take 5 minutes practicing before every single shot. The course is a joke. Terrible condition. The only god thing about this place is it's central location.

Angry Little Man Starter

Have played this course for years, always slow and a tad expensive for what it is, but it’s in the city and usually relaxing and you know what you’re in for, so hard to complain.

Until this past weekend. I won’t go into the details, but had the absolute rudest starter I have ever witnessed, yelling in peoples faces, shaking a finger in their face, boiling mad, absolutely insane. You would have thought he was a small child being put in timeout for the first time. Insane

Great course. You can't beat the sun coming out of the lake. Some tee-boxes really need attention.

The starters needs to pay more attention to having singles join up when available.
