South Shore Golf Club

The lady inside was very nice. The ranger one the other hand was rude. First off, he wasn’t even there when we tee’d off. Then this guy jumped back on the course after finishing 9 and the rancher didn’t even know. There is much more that happened insulting us, allowing a guest he clearly knew to heckle us. I will Never come back to this course. I’m working on getting better and to tell me I can’t play. And to ask my friends if they know how to scrabble?!? Who says that as a ranger? If he would have seen our game he would have known we clearly know how to play. I will be calling tomorrow to complain.

Good course, however very slow. Would love for a ranger to keep pace consistently and assist faster players to play-thru. Also, this course has tee boxes very close to the greens, so it is definitely play at your own risk. Beautiful course with two holes on the lake, overall good time. Very well kept for a course within the city. Would recommend

Paid like $20. Course is in garbage condition but was looking for a value

Loved that it was right on the lake! Staff was super nice and great vibes. Course itself could be kept up a bit better but overall it was great and I plan to go back!

Booked this course since it was very convenient for the brief amount of time I had for the day. Friendly staff and not very busy. The course is a little old, but decently maintained for the location. What was most frustrating is the extremely hard ground and lack of grass around the greens, and on the outer edges of the fairway. Digging the tee into the ground was at times very challenging due to the soil being rock hard, and it was nearly impossible to get under the ball when you’re 40 yds of the green. Again the staff was great, but we weren’t fans of the course itself.

I worry that the lake is going to destroy this hole. Please dont let this treasure be lost, this is one of the most beautiful holes in our city if not the most beautiful!

First time playing the course. Was a little worried with proximity to the city that it would be pretty busy. And it was, but the pace was actually pretty constant moving for an early tee time on a Sunday. Be warned that the holes bordering the streets are pretty tight. A righty slice and you could find yourself on south lakeshore drive. Lots of couples when we played so wasnt much pressure. A few holes being worked on. Nice view of the skyline on hole 2. Tighter fairways and holes sorta overlapping when walking to next tee areas. Just need to be a lil more alert when walking. I actually think higher handicap/shorter hitting players would enjoy the course more than low handicaps. Enjoyed our round!

Had a 7 am tee time. Fast rate of play even with work being done on the course by staff. Our two some finished in 1 hour 40 min.

Small tight city course. It’s super cheap and you get 2 holes on the lake, which is nice. Down side old dudes without tee times jumping in line and bad golfers abound slows it down a bit.

Well designed. Starts out with 4 par 4’s that let you loosen up with driver. #6 is an iconic short par 4. Bent putting greens are small targets and in great shape.

The bunkers on the course do not appear to be made of sand -- they look more like dirt with some mulch and rocks mixed in. Thankfully I avoided them easily. The course is on Lake Michigan and the views are nice. The South Shore cultural center is in the middle of the course -- it's an old and in disrepair, but charming. This is a fine place to play if you want something cheap and in the city.

First time playing here and it was a perfect morning to golf. 78 degrees and no wind. The club house is really interesting and the overall feel is nice. Parking is a dollar which is great. The Greens are in pretty good shape and the tee boxes are okay. The views are awesome on a few holes that border the lake. I plan to golf here often.

The course is a 9 hole Chicago Park District course.It was the old South Shore Country Club which is long gone. It is now a cultural center and there is a stable for the Chicago Mounted Police and a small beach. The course is Billy Casper managed and was pretty well maintained. The greens were in good shape and so were the fairways with good roll. It was short and pretty easy with some narrow fairways.There were good views and we enjoyed the round. Unfortunately there was no place to have a sandwich and beer on site.
