To all the snobs.

I’ve played this course plenty of times, no matter the conditions, weather, or how busy it is, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Fun, wide open fairways to let you unleash on your favorite clubs, and great for beginners. Got my girlfriend hooked on golf playing here which is every golfing man’s dream. Play a round here, don’t take yourself to seriously, and most importantly HAVE FUN!

Nice, easy for the price

Wide fairways. Good greens. Mostly flat. Some holes long but doable. Would be better if it had junior tees but great for beginners.

Simple, affordable, and fun golf

Went out on Easter, rainy day. Was able to play 9 very quickly. Greens are in great shape barring one or two literal swing divots people took off of them. A fun, short course that would be great for beginners and experienced golfers looking for a quick 9.

Get what you pay for

No golfer courtesy or awareness on this course at all Was hit into and at MULTIPLE times during the round. Tee boxes don't actually exist and people are crossing back and forth on your fairway and going to their ball to play it with no respect for the people on the actual hole.

Not once, but twice had someone pick up my ball that was just off the fairway and had made clear it was mine that I was going towards.

Even was approached by a gentlemen that did not like that I called him out for not saying Four when there ball flew past our head.

Would not recommend at all - plenty of other 9 hole courses in the area.

Decent city course

It’s fairly easy to get in to play but the course grounds themselves could use some work. Lots of dry patches/dead grass, many spots of uncut grass, and some uneven tee boxes. Will definitely play again though

Best 9 Hole Value in Chicagoland

Bar none the best value for walking or riding in Chicago. The course has been consistently making improvements on the tee boxes and the greens. I left 4 stars because there is some room for improvement. I’d love them to smooth out the 3rd and 7th hole which I’m sure they are aware of. Overall ace of play is good but gets backed up with a lady’s tee time on Sundays at 7:50 which is annoying but can work around it. All together great value and a fairly open course . Staff is great. Also wish they could have coffee/ beer and chips and a dog but that might increase the price.

Columbus Park is Chicago's west side mecca for golf. A ton of history and legacy here dropped just outside of the city. Staff is amazing and you get your bang for your buck from the course. Great for beginners and experienced golfers looking to hone in.

grays are never watered. They’re like concrete hitting off concrete and possible course needs to be better taken care of.

Hitting from Teebox is like hitting on concrete very disappointing no water on green very uncomfortable
