Nice Job

The Chicago Park District is really taking care of this oasis of Golf in the middle of the city. The greens are in the best shape I have seen in ages. Keep up the good work.

Great course

Was pretty muddy when I went, would definitely wait to let it dry a little more but very forgiving course, front back 6 holes are very pretty. Fun lagoons and water features. Great value, not a huge parking lot but wasn’t busy on a 70 plus degree Saturday in Chicago.

Amazing course

The tee boxes are always in great condition, the fare ways are well maintained and cut low the rough is not so high the greens are of country club quality. Always socked refreshments. The gem is the practice area. Nothing compares to it out of anywhere near.

Good If you can play under $15 w/ cart

Honestly I played after a Rainey day and there were puddles of water still, and there were lots if spots with a lot of mud. This is my first season playing and I had a lot of difficulty keeping within the fairways because they are so narrow but it made it way more challenging! Was a fun course overall. As long as you can find a cheap tee time I'd say it worth coming to play!

Thanks for the feedback. Drainage is surely a challenge for us on certain holes. We appreciate your visit and hopefully we see you again when the course is less saturated

Diamond in the rough

I've been golfing for about 20 years now. Self taught. This is course has always been kept well manicured. The holes have just enough of a challenge. Greens are also well taken care of. Overall, it's a great place to play. Only one water hazard on the 8th hole. Golf carts are 11 bucks. Kids golf free with an Adult. , Please try.

I love this 9 holes

The most wide open fairways! If you are a big hitter or really want to go for some drives this is a great place to go. It’s an easy walk too. I don’t have anything bad to say about this course. When I check the app I’m always considering it when looking for 9 holes.

Course is improved, but needs drinking water.

The course was in very good shape. Fairways, greens , and sand traps were in good condition with quality sand, unlike the mud traps of former years. A big drawback is there is no drinking water anywhere on the course. The two water fountains on the course have been out of order for years. They used to put a keg of cold water near the 4th tee, but there were no kegs anywhere. A person could dehydrate out there walking the course on a warm day, especially if play is slow.
THIS COURSE NEEDS DRINKING WATER!
