Course is improved, but needs drinking water.

The course was in very good shape. Fairways, greens , and sand traps were in good condition with quality sand, unlike the mud traps of former years. A big drawback is there is no drinking water anywhere on the course. The two water fountains on the course have been out of order for years. They used to put a keg of cold water near the 4th tee, but there were no kegs anywhere. A person could dehydrate out there walking the course on a warm day, especially if play is slow.

THIS COURSE NEEDS DRINKING WATER!

Cool Muni

Nice city course. It was wet so the ground was a little muddy/saturated, however, the overall condition was good.

Better manners

The front desk staff snatched money out of my hand and told me to turn the cart in after my round because cart can't be used after 2pm.

FYI: As I was leaving I saw a group using a cart @ 430pm

Good Chicago Park Course for Beginners

Chicago park district offers several fairly inexpensive 9-hole golf courses and Marquette is one of them. Marquette is a good course for beginners and casual players. It’s a very easy course with limited hazards and no dogleg holes. When we went in late September, there was goose poop on a few greens that could interfere with putting.

1st impression is the last!!!

Course has sewage running thru it. Poorly maintained. Greens in need of repair. Bathroom clean but in storage room. Whoever maintains this course must not be a golfer!
