Fun course despite brutal greens
Canal Shores has a ton of potential despite the worst greens ever. Mind you I was playing golf in December on a beautiful 50 degree day so life is good. I tried fixing a divot on a green and a chunk of the green fell out. It looked diseased in places and just plain not taken care of. Despite horrific greens it is a tight and challenging golf course. Love that they will be having 5 and 10 hole loops to go along with the traditional 18 holes. Fix the greens and this would be a lovely “go to” quick round of golf!

Fun , sporty
they need to grow grass everywhere, and watering would help a lot. There are greens that are half dirt, tee areas also are mostly dirt. This could be a great course if they put some effort into it

Greens?
Hugely disappointing greens. Large bare patches I have not seen anywhere in 20 yrs. and not time of year as I played 2 other courses in last week. This staff can do better.

Bad service from the pro shop
My buddy and I showed up for our tee time and the course was closed because of the weather. It was between 35-40 degrees out. We had no heads up via email or phone or anything. Pretty frustrating because we drove in from Chicago to play the course for the first time. The most annoying part though was calling the pro shop and being told "well you should have called ahead of time since the weather wasn't great". This is Chicago, I didn't realize 40 degrees was worth closing a course over. I've never heard of a course not giving a heads up that they will be closed because of weather.

This Gem Needs Polishing
Canal Shores nestles along the wooded banks of a channel through Wilmette and Evanston, Illinois. They bill themselves as a "gem" on Chicago's North Shore. Unfortunately, the course doesn't live up to the billing. The biggest drawback is a lack of maintenance. Many greens resemble the lunar surface. On the other hand, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. And the location is terrific. Hopefully, they can get things in better shape next year. Because while it's no gem today, it certainly could become one.

Gem in Your Backyard
The only negative was that the tees and greens are showing lots of wear and tear from the summer drought and heavy traffic. Many greens were in rough shape with brown dead patches. Otherwise the course was well conditioned.
I golfed with someone who had not visited the course in a considerable time and he was impressed with the new hazards added to the Gem.
