Foss Park Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Foss Park Golf Course has a convenient location in North Chicago that is an easy drive in from the city. It's a public course that is known amongst locals for being one of the area's best golf values. The layout is wide-open save for three holes that are framed by towering mature trees. The golf course strikes a good balance between being challenging and playable. The fairways are narrow and demand accuracy but the massive greens are more forgiving. Each hole offers a variety of different playing options, which makes the course appealing to a wide range of skill levels. The golf course has plenty of sand, plus water hazards come into play on several holes. There is also a driving range and large practice putting green available at Foss Park G.C.

Continuing problems
Foss Park GC NEVER has enough carts to go around! Even though I pre-pay for use of an electric cart, when I arrive at the course, there ALWAYS is a shortage of carts and I have to wait (often missing my tee time) for someone to finish playing and turn his/her cart in so I can use it. This has happened to me 3 times -- and twice I had to walk !! NOT GOOD ...
Even I paid and got confirmation no
The golf course was closed
This was bad experience

Blustery day
Nice course. Fairways are narrow and many are densely tree lined. Straight off the tee is a must. If you get into the trees, take your medicine. Staying in the fairway gives ample scoring opportunities. Large receptive greens which rolled true

I have played their twice this year and the course is in very good condition but the people that play there have no golf Etiquette, they play up on you. Other people cut in front of you. It’s a problem there when you can’t just enjoy your day on the course.
