Pretty good municipal course

Greens are the beat part of the course. Sand traps are dirt and not sand. Bunkers need to be totally redone.

Fairways are decent. If you are a new golfer or just want to get in a quick round to work on your game then its good for that given the price.

Im a 4 handicap and so its not a course I would play a lot.

Descent but….

For the life of me, I struggle to understand why they cannot turn off the water sprinkler in time for an early round?!!’ Beware if you book a tee time from the first tee to 7a you will run into Chicago Park Districts Sprinkers watering system.

We only have 4 months to golf in Chicago.. please get it together guys.

Great value

My only complaint was the condition of the bunkers, but I was able to fit 18 holes into three hours for a great price. The starter was very helpful. I’ll be back. Great to play 18 holes in Chicago by the lakefront.

Always amazing

This is such a gem. Great holes. Great shape for a muni course. I played with my 10yo son and they were so welcoming to him. Pace was a little slow but I think we just came in after a league so that was understandable. 18 holes in the city of Chicago for these prices is unbeatable. You won’t regret coming here.
