Chicago Heights Park District - East Course

Course is solid, not challenging really if you have a decent game, & super affordable. Awesome for beginners & typically wide open play. Upkeep is overall solid. Not much to speak to amenities wise but I go to play golf not hang out away from home. Worse part isn’t the course or staff it’s patrons who don’t rake traps after themselves or fix ball marks & divots. Hidden gems like this end up not lasting cause patrons lack common class course etiquette but course is decent. Play the course, enjoy, be respectful, keep price low by doing your part.

Love this 9 hole course, as it gives 2 options on length that challenge your game. Nice start with 2 not too long par 4's, then a par 3 with water in play. Hole 4, you should be loose & ready to play a long par 4, or a par 5 that is maybe reachable in 2. Then a string of 3 par 4's gets you to #8, another par 3 that makes you carry the water or play safe to the right. Finally, a lengthy 9th hole that can be difficult if you go left or right.

This course is easy to get to. There are a few holes by water, sands, and trees to challenge you, but beginner friendly. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. The bar/snack area could use an upgrade.

So many weeds on the fairway. Another holder came and yelled at me & my daughter for taking too many strokes. I’m disabled and she’s 9. Real class. Staff very friendly.
