Father teaching son

Course was in good condition given the rains and time of year. Not too soggy, as it can be. Good for teaching my son golf without too many worries about being pushed. Pace was slow due to holiday weekend, even with a late tee time. But that worked for us to practice.

Fine shorter course

The course was in good shape considering all the rain. In fact it was raining the day I played . The only Negative was that they had an outing, yes in the rain and I did not know until I arrived. I just skipped around to complete the course.

It a fun short. Course but like most local courses the pace of play is poor on most days. I can usually play quick when it’s raining but not here only go here if you have 5 hours

Chick Evans

I personally like this course. Close to my house. There are only 2-3 holes that aren't designed well. Greens usually in good shape. Not terribly long either.

Worth the $ and a long drive.

Watch for flooding before booking. Not tell until a "welcome sign" say so when you drive in.

It is what it is — a short, simple, cheap course. Not the greatest but it fills a need. Pace was slow — sending groups out every five minutes leads to backups

Thank you for your feedback. As a Cook County Forest Preserve Golf Course, we strive to provide public access to the golf course throughout all months of the year whenever it’s possible. In early winter, it’s a general practice to cut multiple holes in the greens so that foot traffic can evenly spread out across the green to prevent concentrated foot traffic to one hole in the green, which can cause excessive turf damage. The ground freezes and the turf is dormant in the winter time preventing us from moving hole locations until early Spring time. Again, we appreciate your feedback and would like to speak with you further regarding your experience. Please email us your contact information to info.chickevans@forestpreservegolf.com

Chickevans ranger needed

close to our home, very accessible. we love the staff! very informative and friendly. only downside is that we see so many groups teeing off multiple times at same hole, very slow golfers, but never had a ranger come to pace.

Great Forest Preserve Course

The staff Friendliness is second to none. The course has a very good and well-maintained greens, the layout is good. It’s come a long way in past couple of years. If you haven’t played here in couple of years, I encourage you to try it.

Best is, you can play late late in the year as they won’t close until it’s snowing and in 20is.

Jerry and Tom are great starters. Everyone is good to deal with.
