Marquette Park Golf Course

Chicago Public golf courses are being well taken care of Marquette being one of the best courses in the city within driving distance of anywhere in the city. The layout is very forgiving for beginners and intermediate golf players. It’s also a good place to learn how to play if you’re a beginner, I would recommend to look at the later teetimes at the day which I have found that the course is very open during those hours and my book is a 8 out of 10.

Need to wait for push carts and golf carts if you don't take your own push cart. Wait is over an hour for both of you golf on a busy day. Call before to know if folks are waiting.

Decent course but today the conditions were really bad from all the rain we have been having. . Carts should not have been allowed on the course. There was a lot of damage left by carts. I will most certainly keep this experience in my mind the next time I think of Marquette park.

Easy but fair toughness. Careful with the local geese

This is hallowed grounds for golf: they’ve been playing on the same parkland here since 1911. The current incarnation is nine holes, designed by Langford and Moreau, masters of the steam shovel, which was used to create the massive sand traps in evidence here. Beginners like it because they can spray their shots over the broad fairways, accomplished golfers like the challenge provided by distance (both par threes are over 200 yards) and strategically placed greenside traps. The greens are smooth. The meandering lagoons and planes flying overhead to Midway provide scenic interest. Like the other city layouts, this course is an oasis in the urban jungle. The staff is outstanding, customer focused and friendly. If you haven’t played Marquette, your golfing career is poorer for not having done so.
