Wicker Memorial Park Golf Course

I drove here from Chicago twice to play...

1st time I booked on golfnow and when I showed up the course was closed to the public.

2nd time, a week later, I tried again and the course was open. However they were completely over booked.

Needless to say I was frustrated not being able to play a full 18 and also not having a cart.

So you may ask, why I gave this place 5 stars on everything. Well, while I was venting about my frustration (although understanding on their issues having just re opened, the manager/ owner of the course was phenomenal! Not only did he let me vent, (which was totally un needed of him) but understood my frustration and refused to take our money for the round. The understanding and professionalism that he and his employees have made the experience amazing all around and earned themselves repeat business for life from me and my friends. People do business with people and business is business. Sometimes business works well, sometimes it doesn’t, but the people and the service they provide is what life is all about.

Not the best course I’ve ever played, not the best organization I’ve experienced, but by far the best service and that’s more than enough for me.

I love these guys and this course. Do yourself and this business a favor during these hard times and get out to play here. This is the kind of business that deserves and earns their success. Kudos to you guys and looking forward to playing here again this weekend

Despite the moral compass being challenged with this historic virus and quarantine orders the staff at this golf course were amazingly and compassionately helpful as needed. The course was in great shape minus the usual golfers but very appreciated by .myself and I'm sure those who were out today. Hey, thanks so much Wicker staff youre the best. Im looking forward to the next round with you all.

Due to the covid-19 pandemic , the course facility made every precaution to get golfers out on the course in a safe manner . very friendly and efficient .The course was in very good physical condition. Some interesting hole layouts , with doglegs and creek running through a few . Greens were in excellent shape , fairways cut a little long , and rough cut so you wouldn't lose a ball in it .

Course played well and the pace was excellent

Employees were very good and accommodating

Will definitely play here again

Don’t know why tee times are being sold if the course is closed. I don’t see tee times Available for other golf courses that are closed. The driving range is Also closed until June. Try out Centennial, Sherwood, Palmira or Turkey Creek.

I booked a round at this course and drove 35 minutes from chicago. I arrived only to find that it was still closed. I'm not sure why they would be listed as open on GolfNow.... I ran into other groups of people who were in the same boat. By the time I got back to chicago and was able to access my appointment, I was unable to cancel/modify and have been charged. Incredibly disappointed by this, I know that COVID has affected everyone but I cant imagine why the course would list themselves as open and continue to remain that way on the app.

Drive over an hour from Chicago to play with my fiancé. Arrived and security says it’s closed and golfnow won’t take it off their site.

Wish I had a review of the course. I booked through Golf Now and when I showed up, they were still closed. I was told that they informed Golf Now that they would be closed through 5/11 and not to book tee times. Now there is no easy way to contact anyone at Golf Now to get my refund. I’ve always loved utilizing their service, but in light of what I see as blatant steeling, I doubt I ever will again. The person I spoke to at Wicker was nice though...for what that’s worth

Drove all the way out to be told I couldn't play. Management has no idea how to run a business.

Next time, don’t let me book a tee time if the course is closer. Bad management on wicker park for telling me the course will be open. Bad management on Golf Now for letting me book the tee time. Waste of my time and others. It was too late to go anywhere else.

We showed up for our tee time and the course had been closed for the day. No phone call, email, text, carrier pigeon etc. from either the course or GolfNow to communicate this. Drove an hour and wasted an entire Saturday. Thanks GolfNow!

They closed course for day and didn’t tell anyone that had reserved tee times.. said good luck sorry. Just should have given some kind of heads up... terrible

Well kept course with challenging layout. Not pricey, and a fun course to play.
