Great 9 Hole

Great 9 Hole course. Hole 7 needs work. The fair way is pretty rough around the small pond area they have. Other than that, its a great course!

Course operator here. This doesn't sound like the impression we want to leave you with. We pride ourselves on our training and creating a welcoming, fun place to play - all while keeping things moving. We want to learn more about what happened - please send us a note directly at info.marquettepark@cpdgolf.com, and we'll work to make things right.

Hidden Gem

Marquette Park Golf Course is one of Chicago’s best-kept secrets. Nestled within the historic Marquette Park, this course offers an incredibly scenic, welcoming, and well-maintained experience that rivals many high-level private clubs, without the pretension and for an incredible value. A massive shoutout to Don and Oscar, two of the most gracious and attentive staff members you’ll meet. The course itself is a beautiful surprise. It’s challenging without being punishing, with lush fairways, well-kept greens, and mature trees lining many of the holes. It’s walkable, friendly, and full of local charm. You can tell it’s a community staple, there’s a sense of history and pride here that you don’t always find at municipal courses. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful afternoon round, a great place to bring friends, or just an excuse to enjoy the outdoors on the South Side, Marquette Park Golf Course delivers. The Only problem is that it isn't 18 holes.

Highly recommended. I’ll be back soon.

Hidden Gem

Impeccably maintained course! It’s quite long, but is not punishing at all. The lake feels like a backdrop and doesn’t impact your shots. After a wonderful round we talked to Don and Oscar at the clubhouse and they were wonderful! They called it a “Hidden Gem” and we couldn’t agree. A must-visit.

Great value poor pace of play

I signed up as a single for 8:50 AM and the starter gave my slot away to a group of 4 since they wanted me to play with a group. The group in front of me crawled through 9 holes to take 3 hours. Poor policy.
