City Golfing

It's the only 18 hole course in the city.. Staff is friendly, there was no cart attendant on Sunday and without a turn near the club house you can get hungry/thirsty. Its average at best but allows you to get a round in without traveling to the burbs. I would recommend to a friend with the above qualifications.

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.
