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.

Golfer Reviews
Great value
I have played this course on and off for over 20 years. This time the course was in the best shape I've ever seen. Grass was green, greens in good shape especially since we have had 90 degree temps and not much rain lately.
Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Foss Park Golf Course.
Good course but pace of play not enforced
Course was in decent shape. Lots of trees, little sand. Pace of play was poor. There were singles and doubles stacked up two or three on each hole (maybe because of social distancing?) everyone was respectful and kept distance between each other on shots but a lot of waiting on the tee box.
Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Foss Park Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Great course conditions! Very good value!
Overall, this was a very good course that I would recommend. Conditions were excellent throughout the entire course, and the pace of play was excellent as well. Very good course for $50. At times the back 9 was a bit frustrating because the trees overhang much of the fairway on a few holes, and their are a few spots that have unnecessary challenging hazards, such as drainage ditches and tress in the fairway. But overall very good. The only negative I had was that the driving range was in very poor condition (yardages way off too) and we weren't able to get a cart until about 20 minutes prior to our tee time. But the practice green for chipping and putting was also in excellent shape, same as all the greens on the course.

Good course
Still a nice course, but the price sure went up. On top of the increase, no senior rate or junior rate. Other than a couple tee boxes needing work, was a pleasant round.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Foss Park Golf Course thanks you!
Better than before
Condition of the course was much better than before. Greens were consistent and rolling pretty good. Pace of play was fast I think because it was Monday and a hot day. Overall it was good day.

Foss park a fun test of golf
I always enjoy Foss park with very large greens make three putts possible if you do not pay attention. Course layout if fun with some tough tee shots and exciting approach shots with water or bunkers guarding greens on par 5s. Due to being wide open the wind can be a factor but also makes keeping ball in play much easier. Par 3s are on the longer side with some at 200 yds from the back tee you may want to move up if wind is blowing. Course is in fine shape and greens are true. A fun test of golf with a links feel. Pace of play in normally good. Staff in always professional. You can always fine a good afternoon deal here on golf now I know I will play here again

Good Value
Great value, fairways were a little dry but not much you can do about it. Definitely helps to hit your drives straight on this course.

Love this course
This probably our third time playing this golf course and we loved it. Staff are friendly and makes us feel at home. Fairways and greens are in great shape. If you keep your ball in the fairways you’ll have no problem making pars. Hit the trees it’s it’s going to be a long day. Fun course.
