About
University Park Golf Club (formerly known as University Golf Club & Conference Center) boasts one of the most popular championship courses in the Chicagoland area. The golf course has been a local favorite since it first opened in 1962. The original design by Lawrence Packard received an update in 2004 by Greg Martin, but the classic character of the layout still remains. The course wanders across gentle rolling terrain, providing elevated tees and undulating fairways. Water hazards come into play on half the holes, including on the 17th, University Park Golf Club's signature hole. This intimidating par 3 requires a tough carry over water to an elevated green. Miss it and you'll be faced with the nearly impossible task of getting up and down. The difficulty doesn't let up with the final hole, an uphill dogleg par 4 with a sloped, elevated green and water on the right.

Good Shape, Good Value
The course was in very good shape. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good value for the money.
Hidden Gem
Fun course- playable in wet/rainy conditions. Other than the inconsistent tee box colors- it’s great! Staff is very friendly, course layout is fun with some challenging par 4’s, great carts with rain covers (which we needed). Their food is a real treat too.
Great fun course.
Had a great time playing this course. Was my first time out for the year so it was rough. Grew up playing across the street at hidden meadows and finally played that course! Would definitely recommend!
Jesus Christ They Fixed The Course
This is the first time I’ve seen this course in great shape in years. GOD bless the greens keeper and new management because they saved this gem.
ITS SAFE TO COME BACK AND PLAY GUYS!!!
It’s Almost Back!
Proofs to the staff for the work they’ve put in to make UP the south suburban gem it used to be. They are investing a lot in the course and it shows.
It's been awhile since I played UP
I haven't played at UP in a few years...1 180 degrees difference. Staff was friendly and helpful. The greens were kept up. I enjoyed playing here.
Pleasantly Surprised
Course is in way better shape than on previous years. Greens were recently punched, but it didn’t mess with putting much. I will definitely be back here again
REFRESHED and Impressed
found out they just reopen after 2 years of closure, brought in a new management team and they done a amazing job. this place has so much potential in the coming years! i look forward to see the growth!
