Sinnissippi Park Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Opened in 1912, Sinnissippi Park Golf Club is the Park District's oldest course and at 3,230 yards, it's also the shortest. In the century that it has occupied Rockford's east side, it has served as a great learning golf course for thousands of beginning golfers. This nine-hole course is conveniently located in the center of Sinnissippi Park, overlooking the Rock River. Towering mature trees pleasantly shade most of the golf course. At first glance the lack of water, sand, and length makes the course appear seemingly easy, but it would be a mistake to underestimate this layout. There are some surprisingly tough holes that can maddeningly turn pars into bogies and bogies into doubles. Most of the trouble is to the left, so hookers need to be extra cautious.

Golden Age Gem
Another classic Tom Bendelow course that’s worth your effort to place. Course has a nice amount of elevation changes. In addition, the conditions were superb.

Nice place for beginners
No water, no sand traps. All grass however greens run so fast very hilly and lots of traffic.

It’s a small course. To much money for 9 holes and a cart
Nice 9 hole course
Easy layout....sometimes.....easy to go in the street...peoples yards.....or the cemetary.....greens are deceptively easy.......good luck!

Great time!!!
Always a great time!!!! This course is a Rockford gem.
Short but fast
9 holes. All grass course, no water or sand traps. Easy play for a beginner.
Great condition course!
My expectations, for park district courses, aren’t ever too high. This course was in great condition. The night before had been really heavy rain, and the course was even mostly dry. Glad to see our city is taking such good care of its golf courses. I brought my kids, who are 9 & 11, and I will certainly be bringing them back.
A great old time course
Hills, trees, ample fairways, tough rough all make for a great round of golf.
