About
South Shore Golf Club was formerly a private nine-hole course but now it is part of the Chicago Park District Golf collection, which features five other courses. Although it is seemingly out of the way, tucked in the southeast corner of the Chicago metro area, it is one of the most affordable rounds you'll find in the area. Through the stands of mature trees, golfers can catch glimpses of Lake Michigan. The carefully preserved landscape has earned the golf course recognition as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The par-33 layout features tree-lined fairways and small greens. It's a golf course that requires accuracy but it's not overly punishing for high handicappers. South Shore Golf Club is a great course if you're looking to get some short game practice or squeeze in a quick round.

Golfer Reviews
Windy City Lady golfer
Staff is so friendly, play is relaxed, and better vistas cannot be imagined. Look to the East and it feels like you’re looking at the ocean. Look north and there is an amazing city view. Totally worth it for the more than reasonable price, and it’s so nice to be on a gold course with diverse players
South Shore
Great place to play and beautiful view of Lake Michigan
Good course ruined by exceptionally slow pace of play
No enforcement of pace of play. Rangers will straight up tell you that you didn’t pay enough money for them to stop groups from play 30min per hole scramble rounds.
Otherwise a decent course at a very reasonable rate. Off course amenities are bare bones but that’s ok for a city course.
Wish they would actually keep pace of play to at least 15min a hole and then this place would be a real gem
Fantastic except the pace was absurd
We were super rushed by the couple behind us. We would tee off when the party in front of us reach the green, as long as it was out of driving distance, per normal etiquette and while about 150 yards into the walk to our drives they were already firing away. The Ranger was clueless and just kind of hanging out. All that said overall a solid deal for a quick and quite nice 9. Solid lakeside views on 6
