Tam O' Shanter Golf Course

I always love playing this course. It is very good and most if not all categories.

Course is well maintained which is it's best attribute. The layout is a little boring. Many holes are very similar to one another. It's a lot of par 4s lined up parallel to one other with wide open fairways and limited hazards. Good course for beginners. A few holes have a little elevation change, which is a nice change of pace when compared to the mostly flat courses in Chicagoland. Favorite hole was the par 3 hole #6 that crosses over the Chicago River. It's one of the few times water comes into play. If they have a signature hole, I would consider that it. No GPS on the carts, but they do have charging ports. They have a nice clubhouse with bar and grill, but no breakfast options. Small fenced in putting green with very little room for chipping. Didn't see a drink cart during the round.

The course is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Still popular and busy, but pace moves as best as can be expected with your fair share of beginners out there given the shorter holes. Greens had always been on the slower side, but have improved since last visit and are rolling even better. Hands down, best 9 hole around.

Mid afternoon round. Pace was great. Course in great condition. Enjoyable round.

Fun course. I got there early on a Sunday, pace of play was good. By the time I had finished and had a drink at the Howard Street Inn, it looked like the tee times were backing up a bit at the 1st tee (around 1 pm). Pretty well kept and some challenging bunker positions.

Played my best round of the year here.

Great 9 hole course, easy to walk, challenging; well maintained, great staff, a gem.

Course was in great condition as were the greens. Pace was good even though there were lots of golfers. The weather was cold and windy but the round was still very enjoyable.
