Greens
Nice layout and price is decent but the greens were the worst Ive played on this year. We had automatic two putts only so we wouldn’t get frustrated.
Great course!
My friends and I play here every Monday May-Sep for league play, and we have always had a great experience. The pro shop, starters, greenskeepers, beverage cart drivers - everyone at the course is very professional and pleasant.
We look forward to coming back again next summer!
Parking problem
I got a flat tire parking in the back lot.
Cost$35 to repair and I feel I should be reimbursed with cash or golf.
Golf in Reverse
The ranger was hiding in his cart in the trees watching football all day. People were golfing backwards on holes. Total chaos. When my wife complained, the guy said that it was because women don't know how to golf- sexist and absurd as it was all men who were golfing backwards and hitting into us. Have been coming here for years and they seem to not care anymore. Worst experience we have ever had here.
Real Gem
Besides the course being in pristine condition all the time the staff is awesome. Peter always has a smile and is welcoming. After a great round we always stop for a beer and burger at the Howard Street Inn. Can’t go wrong with Tam.
Best 9 Hole Golf Course
Tam is a great 9 hole golf course. The course is beautifully maintained. Fairways and greens are in great condition. Staff is friendly and courteous. Course is challenging enough that golfers at any handicap would enjoy the round. I would highly recommend this course as I play on a League yet still enjoy additional rounds with family and friends. I would give this course a 5-Star rating!!
Great course Greens are rough
Love this course. Tight links course where I tend to play a whole over most times. Have to say the condition is usually spot on but the last couple rounds the greens have been a mess. All chewed up making it tough to get a good roll. Pace of play is great and after you finish your round stop by the Howard Street inn. Beers are always nice and cold.
Great Course!
Really enjoyed Tam O’Shanter. Lovely layout, very good fairways, very well maintained. Had a great time!
Great Value
One of the few 9 hole courses with carts in the Chicago area. For beginners like myself the course is fun, speedy play without being rushed and very nice staff.
