Golfer Reviews
A walk in the neighborhood
This convenient community golf course meanders through upscale neighborhoods in Evanston and Wilmette, requires great accuracy, has a view of Lake Michigan, the Bahai Temple, and has more trees and water than most golfers prefer. It's not long but it's very hard, thanks in part to five 180-220 Par 3s. It's not a course for scoring well. And it's in the best physical shape it's every been. Kudos to the non-profit group that runs it (which includes the PGA professional Luke Donald) and the course superintendent..
Always a challenging round
Canal Shores is a favorite of mine because I appreciate these historic local courses. As I play walking through the neighborhoods of Evanston and Wilmette, I think about how the course looked 100 years ago when the first rounds were played.
It is only two blocks from my house but it is never boring to play

how many dogs not on a leash
course was good I will not pay more than $15 for this course I've seen prices for 25 and $35 maybe that's why nobody's there one of the biggest problems was too many dogs walking around not on a leash I have a Rottweiler right next to my bag no leash another one ran up when was about to hit in the tee box Ranger should enforce this before someone gets seriously hurt is this a golf course or dog park

Average but Fun Course
The course itself isn't anything special, but it's very unique and scenic.

Little North Shore gem.
This is a tough little course. Very narrow in places, but since it’s been cleaned up (thanks to all the volunteers and staff) more playable than it used to be. Don’t get me wrong. Bring extra balls when you come, because you may lose one or two or three or four.....just sayin’. Being nestled in a NorthShore neighbored makes this track not only pleasant, but interesting pictorially. First time I’ve walked 18 in many years and I’m probably gonna be feeling it tomorrow, but it was worth it.

Unique Course
Great little course that is nestled within a neighborhood. It’s a laid back environment here that has both good points and bad points. Good: friendly Rangers, a tight and challenging layout that requires good iron play, no driver needed and some interesting holes. Bad: the laid back attitude here allows for golfers to share clubs and there are people and dogs walking everywhere. I love dogs but the combination of allowing golfers to share clubs and all the non golfer foot traffic results in slow play at times.

Good at Hot deal price
Course is very unique only walking very nice area lay out is weird to keep crossing streets and zigzagging I would recommend at a hot deal price $10 approximately I seen some ridiculously high prices I definitely would not bother with short course 75% part 3

Canal Shores community gem
Canal shores is my home course. Having played there on many occasions I have enjoyed watching it become what it is now. From all the volunteers and to the limited paid staff I would encourage anyone to come tee it up and enjoy the course for all the different features it has.

Great to be out and thanks for getting the course in shape after the rain. The new reservation system bites. Let’s bring back the old one.

Spring Golf at Canal Shores
Course never disappoints. It oozes history and charm from another era. Fairways and greens in pristine condition with tee boxes showing the course is getting a lot of play. Walking helps keep it that way.

Hard work is paying off
Enjoyed a nice round at Canal Shores today, after all the rain. Pace was quick but still lots of water. Course is shaping up nicely, and greens are looking/rolling well.Just hope those who come to practice chip/putt on a green would respect and give right of way to paying patrons. Perhaps more rangers? Keep up the great work—it’s is noticed and appreciated!

Love this course, but.....
I’m a crappy golfer. So for me it’s GREAT! Love the easy casual pace,
Wonderful way to spend some time with my kid. The greens were in excellent condition imho. Rest of the course was intermittently under water, wore my goretex hiking boots which functioned perfectly for the conditions.
