Getting Better
This is my home course, and I’ve played it many times. Needs a marshal to keep up pace of play and to keep good-offs from cutting in or skipping holes. Happened to us us on the last three holes..
Abbreviated Canal Shores In Pretty Good Playing Condition
The fairways tees and greens play well in general and are well manicured. The staff are great hosts and the abbreviated course is fun to play even with course construction going on.
Grandson Outing
Canal Shores is a very appropriate course for golf beginners. It is not very long and easily walkable. My only real complaint relates to the number of times people simply walked onto the course in front of us and started playing. A twosome cut in front of us because they did not want to wait to tee off on #1. Someone else cut in front on the 12th hole. On #14, a twosome jumped in front and it was actually someone getting a lesson. They did it again 2 holes later.
Afternoon with grandsons
Canal Shores is a great place for a fun round of golf with your kids or grandkids. It is very tight, so accuracy is a must. If you are new to the game, as my grandsons are, it is an excellent place to learn. There are only a few holes over 300 yards and most are 160 or less. Great place to learn that accuracy is more important than distance.
Honestly the worst course experience i've ever had
Paid in the shop THEN was told holes 1 and 2 can not be played, have to start at 3. Then play 4th, but 5, 6, 7, and 8 are also closed so I'm told to jump over and play the back 9. Really difficult to know where you are on the course. Greens were in terrible condition, generally poor condition everywhere.
A decent course for the amount you pay for. It was a holiday and there were some golfers who never played before making it very slow but it was a pleasant afternoon.
Course is a neighborhood friendly place and fun to go with friends.
I love to go there alot because it’s close to me. The one thing tho is that some parts aren’t maintained well enough but it is still super fun to go to. This issue will be resolved with the remodeling coming up soon for the course. I’m excited for the future of canal shores and what they will bring to the table of Evanston golfing.
Absolute Trash.
They had a fundraiser in front of us that wasn’t mentioned when booking.
The group ahead of us no joke took 20 minutes to putt on the first hole.
The 2nd hole green was closed and the had a pin in the grass with a white circle painted around it.
We got through 10 holes in 4.5 hours in basically what I would consider and practice course.
Wasted a day off giving this place a try.
