Won’t be back

The put us behind a senior league THAT ONLY PLAYS 9 then when it took us 2 hours to play 7 holes and started raining they said they couldn’t give us a rain check. Won’t be back, Why wouldn’t they send non league off the back? Bad customer service.

Love this course

Listen, it's not Augusta. But it's a fairly inexpensive, laid-back course. It's not long, and I like that because I don't hit the ball a mile. I feel like I can be up around every green in regulation (and I'm not great at golf.) The greens can be challenging though and that's where the course really tests you.

It's fun - the people are nice and the other players are laid back and just enjoying the game and being outside. What more do you need?

Keep coming back...

You can’t find a better deal in my eyes than this course around the city. It may be a little on the shorter side but has plenty of challenges with water, tight fairways, sand traps, and tree patches throughout.

Every time I have played this course I am always impressed at the condition of the fairways, greens (just people need to fix darn ball marks more), and tee boxes compares to other places I’ve paid double or triple the price.

Pricey For Park District Course

Went on the first nice weekend of the spring. Held up for 8AM tee time due to "frost warning". Cart fee of $17 per rider is ridiculous for a course like this. For a park district course, the length is nice, but overall very disappointed for the price point.

Thank you for your review, Eric. We take feedback seriously, and are constantly looking to improve the customer experience. We apologize for the brief delay due to frost. Unfortunately, we cannot allow anyone on the golf course while there is frost due to the fact that foot and/or cart traffic will cause the grass to die and we want to do everything we can to provide the best course conditions possible. Please feel free to reach out to us to discuss your concerns further.”

Hate I didn’t know about the course earlier

Hate I didn’t know about the course earlier, being 15-20 minutes away from where I reside, and much price-friendly, I will definitely play this course more often; it’s short (6000 yards), but it definitely presents some fun challenges.

Worst golf course/customer service in all of golf

I used to play here a lot. Nice location and a nice little course food in all honesty. But the mew manager they have is possibly the biggest piece of you know what on earth. He and his staff need to get it in their heads that the golfers spend a lot of money to use their facilities and that won’t keep happening forever if they keep treating people the way they do. I could write a thesis about how terrible this place had become. Such a shame

Indian Boundary is a really good course. Of the forest preserve courses it is one of the better ones in the city of Chicago. I have golfed here several times now and it presents various challenges while not being too difficult for me as a beginner. Some of the greens could use more work and occasionally the course can get backed up, especially on the last few holes. Otherwise this is a great course and will come back again.
