45 min wait
Tee time at 10 . Had to wait till 10 50 to tee off. Staff rude that when we asked what the delay was. 6 hour round. Never going back
Good course, slow pace of play
Like all Forest Preserve courses, it's in good shape. However, there was a cluster of groups waiting to tee off on the first hole, and it didn't get any better from there. This is a course where driver isn't always (or even usually) your best option, but try telling that to everyone pulling it out on every tee box and hitting their ball either into another fairway, into high grass, or out of bounds. Five hours to play the round was not fun.
Love Joe Louis
We had perfect weather. The course is not overly challenging. I actually got my best 9 hole score on the back 9. I do love coming here.
Solid spot
Great place, good price. Nice staff. I even left my phone and they held onto it for me!
Terribly maintained
This course is in such poor shape I will probably never play it again unless I get word they have turned it around. I would blame the Supt. But it’s likely not his fault. I imagine Cook County is not funding the course with proper staffing levels or capital needed to properly maintain a golf course
Very Challenging Track
Very nice course. Staff was very accommodating despite the large number of golfers there.
Little known Gem
Joe Louis "The Champ" is one of the Forest preserve district courses in the Chicago area that, because of it's location in the South side of the Chicago area, is often overlooked. but if you are looking for value for your golf dollar, this course is hard to beat. The layout offers a good test without being overly penal and has a good variety of holes. The course is well run with a friendly staff and a nice outdoor grill for food at the turn. Course conditions can vary based on the weather (how much rain they get) but the grounds crew works knows where to put in the effort and works hard to keep the greens in generally very good condition. Green fees are very reasonable for the overall course and golf experience. Our group plays here regularly and if you haven't played it you should definitely give it a try.
Great staff
The Joe Louis staff and course are always a pleasure. Even on a rainy day they made it great. Staff was super professional!!
