Classic city course

This is a historic city course with amazing views of Lake Michigan and the Jackson Park marina area. . Very well maintained and friendly staff. Pace of play is more relaxed than most courses, which is my preference since I’m still working on my game.

Early Season Golf

Overall course was in decent shape this early in the year. Greens need some work, most of the divots from last year were not fixed and there was quite a bit of debris on the putting surface of each hole. Conditions should improve as golf season gets underway

Fantastic Value in the City

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a 15 handicap or so and have played my fair share of courses in the Chicagoland area. Jackson Park is kept in outstanding condition for how much you pay (typically $23-$30 after taxes and fees for 18 holes). The groundskeepers deserve a standing ovation for how well they maintain the greens. I’d expect to see these greens on a course you’d pay $60 for a round, not $23. Although the fairways aren’t cut super short, they are still above average in my opinion. Tee boxes are all in good condition as well. The only aspect that can be improved upon would be the bunkers. Some you can hit out of, while others are straight up dirt with large rocks. I don’t find this to be a big issue, you can always rake and place or just move your ball out of the bunker. The course is shorter than most however, that doesn’t mean you lose out on having a large variety of holes. This will make you utilize every club in your bag and keeps the round interesting. The pace of play can be on the slow side during a busy day. I normally play during off peak times are have no issue finishing 18 around the 3 hour mark even with playing through a group or two. Overall, I highly recommend Jackson Park. The value, course conditions, and proximity to downtown are all simply unbeatable.
