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.

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.

Course was fine, management and service bad
Booked a tee time for myself, the tee time was never filled up so was supposed to play by myself. Ended up getting paired with another gentleman which was fine.
I prepaid for the green fee and cart, but when I got the course, the worker told me I had to either ride with the other gentleman, pay for another cart fee on top of what I already paid, or leave.
Aside from the horrible customer service, the course was in good shape and the golf part of it was sufficient.

Slow Golf
People cut in front of us, people were hitting up on us when we had nowhere to go because of the slow play.

Slow Play, Rude Golfers--More Rude Golfers
I had a 9:09 am tee time. I get there 10 minutes early. There's a couple there and I see she has a Marquette University golf bag. So I'm thinking this could be fun. Well the boyfriend didn't want me playing with them, immediately putting me in the middle between a foursome and a now twosome. So after I wait in the middle of the 1st fairway, I see this is going to be one of those hurry up and wait days. So I hit my ball, put it on the green. Then, seeing that the foursome ahead was now waiting for the foursome ahead of them (two fours in front of me and a twosome behind), I dropped a second ball and quickly hit it on the green as well.
Which the boyfriend apparently didn't like. After I got my par and waited for the groups in front of me to go, the twosome rolls up behind me and the boyfriend complains about making them wait. Which kind of upset me, seeing the Sunday morning slow train of golfers in front of me. We exchanged ideas in a calm way-really.
They caught up with me at #4. I had just hit my drive. I asked them to please go ahead because I didn't want to make them wait for the two foursomes ahead of me. Id rather wait on them. They came up with this story that they were playing with people behind them. Which to me said "why are you worrying about what's ahead if you have to pay attention to who's behind you?" The exchange also sealed the silent understanding that I could do what I want. Well, I played like crap after that, not surprisingly.
The course was in good condition. I shot a 44 on the front and didn't count the back. That was my first time there since the pandemic. I'd go back, but not during primetime.
