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.

Fun place to play
Play it whenever I am in the area great people that work their.
Much better now
I played this course a couple of years ago and my friends and I said we would never go back. The course was under construction. There were piles of dirt and mud with standing water everywhere. After passing by it a few times years later the course looked in good shape. We tried it out and have done a 180. Very nice course. Very well kept greens. Some t boxes could use some attention. The course can get crowded. We had 8 carts waiting to go on the 1st t at our scheduled t time. Pace of play was pretty good. My friends and I will definitely be back.
For the money
U.P. isn't bad if you get the golf now rate. The staff is very friendly. The greens were in better shape than we I played there a month ago.
Nice Course
Very friendly staff. The course was in excellent condition!
University golf center review
I have played this course many times. I like the improvements the management has made and the course maintenance and new carts.
Pleasent suprise
The course was in great shape. Reasonably priced. The pace of play was perfect. No waiting and didn't have to rush like George Dunn. I plan on coming back with my friends for anothe enjoyable day at University Golf. Thanks guys.
Nice round
This course can take forever to play. Intentionally got an early tee and it still took 4.5+ hrs. The course is nice and fair. Staff is very friendly. No one there will let u play through and everytime I play it is slow. Don't go expecting a sub 4hr round
Great course to play!!!
Great course to play!!!!! Grounds were well kept. Staff was friendly and overall experience was very good.
Course review
This a gem hidden away.
Challenging fairways and greens.
Staff is extremely courteous and friendly.
Great start to new season .
Could'nt of had a better round on a greater day , the golf gods knew the winter we had in the mid-west.
One of the longest Par 5s
Pretty early in season so green and fairways weren't at their best. However, course was in good shape and I saw maintenance personnel getting the course prime for season. There is a par far on back nine that is just ridiculous. 600 yards. With a 2 club wind, this was almost unfair. But enjoyed the challenge. Overall, good course, good pace of play and great price.
Best value for price
It is a moderate, well-maintained golf course and is only 40 minutes drive from downtown.
Slow foursome
For early season, course was in good shape. Unfortunately, encountered slow foursome that never offered either a twosome or a single the opportunity to play through. Need to review golf etiquette.
Good course
Greens was in great shape. They were rolling good.
it ok for the money
it's not up scale but it's ok for every day course
I will recommend to other's
Course was in great shape for this late in the season
I did not expect the course to play as well as it did with rain overnight and during the morning. It was a nice experience and I will keep this course on my list of places to play again. The hot deal price is the way to play this course.
Nice well maintained course
First time I played. I'll be back with friends. Fun course.
NICE COURSE
