Chick Evans Golf Course

I just starting playing this course regularly and I love it. There are a handful of challenges holes that have become my personal favorites in Chicago, and the price is touch to beat. The pro shop is always stocked, the food and drink options are great and also priced well, and there are always tee times available. I now consider this my "home" course.

Group ahead of was two unsupervised youths which is great to see but it killed the rate of play. Tee boxes are in horrendous condition but was expected with all the rain fall. The starter is a very nice guy. Hot rate was a fair price for what was delivered.

This is the 2nd time I played here in as many weeks. The conditions were good, staff friendly, and the pace was ok, it was a Sunday though, so I expect it to be a little slower. They have a couple of quirky holes, #2 particularly is tough because you have water and trees to the left and trees in front of you which make it pretty hard to pick a line to play on. Overall, still a nice course, I’m sure I’ll play it again.

For a forest preserve course it was in better shape than I remembered in the past. Tee boxes still need a little upkeep but good for the price

This was my first time here and I found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming. I really liked the layout, it was forgiving and interesting with some challenging wholes mixed in. The conditions were very good, considering all the rain the previous couple of days. The greens were soft with lots of ball marks, but that’s not really the courses fault if people don’t fix their ball marks. I will definitely be back!

I think this is one of the better Chicago area municipal courses, however, you can hit very good drives and still have it be punitive with the trees that are overhanging the fairways. I think for a course with this low of a slope, they need to cut those back. Other than that, this is a great place to play!!

Burned out tee boxes. Nobody is repairing divot in the green.

The putting surface was very bumpy. Maybe this course gets a lot of play. The golfers didn’t repair their ball marks.
