Joe Louis Golf Club

The course is in great shape! Went out @8:45am - finished @ 11:45am. I have been playing this since last year. I had played it years ago but forgot about it , now I call this my home course

Paid $45 for 18 and it’s not worth the money. Left after 9 because the rate of play was so bad. Had a foursome rushing us from behind all day and that’s after we let a guy walking play through. Literally the guy walking tee’d off on a par 3 as me and my buddy were putting, so that was fun.

Played there today and I would expect more for the $50 price tag. Course is not in great condition. Only a few traps have playable sand and the yardage markers are tough to locate.

The staff was nice and pace of play was decent but the 33 for the round and 17 for a cart was a bit too much for me.

This place is a ball! Reaching the hole can be easy due to fair length and wide fairways. But around and on the greens the fun really starts. Hole placements range from dead middle on flat spots to feet from the fringe on a steep patch of grass. Bring your best short game if you want to score well. The greens reward a nice touch and punish the heavy handed with the wedges and putter. Aside from the actually game, the staff is friendly, the brats are grilled to order, and the place is just a short drive from both Indiana and Chicago. The pace can get slow as public courses do, but I’m sure my personal experience is due to a great day of weather and everyone deciding, like I did, that “The Champ” course was worth a visit. And I can assure you, it was.

Love playing here with my buddies. Everyone here is always so friendly

missing a lot of grass and black dirt on lots of the fairways

6th time at this track this year at 630am, best time to get out there to beat the rush. Track is exactly what you pay for, there are some long challenging holes but don't expect any pristine lies in the fairway. I'll see you again next season Joe Louis!

$17 per person for a cart. What a rip off. The course was OK at best. Too many unrepaired divot marks on the greens to count. A few of the fairways were just dirt, not even dead grass. After reading reviews of the course for this season i was skeptical to spend my money here, but was convinced by someone who’s played here before. But after our round here neither if us will be back.

wonderful day to play on a almost great course. still no sand in the traps nd the tee boxes need work. everything else was good

Course maintenance was lacking, but still plenty playable. Pace of play is poor and starter operations could be improved.

As we were finishing up the last half of the back nine we were told by members of the "clubhouse" that we had to end our round as it was too dark to play.... it was 6pm and still light out! He then went on to state that he was the only one there and had to get out of here to go do something else. We paid for a full 18 holes of golf and were terribly disappointed when we weren't allowed to finish our round. This is unacceptable as they should either, not be offering 18 hole reservations between the times of 4pm and 5pm if they don't allow us to finish. I would like a refund to compensate our time driving out to this course and not being able to play what we fully pre-paid for an 18 hole round of golf.

The greens have so many ball marks, it's almost impossible to play a green without someone in your cousins having an impacted putt. You can't really tell where the fairway starts and the rough ends. 95% of the course was near rock dry but there were a few random soggy spots. My golf cart had duck tape over rips on the seat.

The staff was friendly. The bratwurst was pretty good. The golfers were diverse and laid back. If you aren't a good golfer, you won't be judged. If you just want to shoot your 105, get a tan, and have a relaxing day, you can do that here. You may have to wait a bit to hit your ball when it's on an adjacent fairway, but that you won't be the only one.

First 9 holes took 3 HOURS!! At the turn I told the manager and even the the slow foursome still had not teed off on 10 he said nothing. I was laying down on the 12th hole t box having already been on the course for 4 HOURS!! After 5 minutes I looked up and the foursome in front of us hadn't moved AT ALL. It was going to be a 6 1/2 hour round!! I walked off. Never will I play there again!!!
