About

Golf CourseGolf Driving RangeGolf Instructor
Situated steps from Lake Michigan on land that once held the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893; the golf course opened six years later in 1899. The only eighteen hole golf course in the CPD Golf portfolio, the course meanders through the overall footprint of the 500 acre Jackson Park site and includes mature trees and large greens that all offer a challenging golf experience. Par 5’s reaching 560 yards and par 3’s extending to 200 yards require golfers to utilize every club in the bag.

    Golf (or whatever that is when I go out there) is fun on this city course. Woodsy and challenging for the horror I bring out there.

    Had to check out where they were building the Obama Library. I ended up dropping into a really cool golf course!

    We were rushed by an employee that had a family member playing behind us. We had been waiting on the group ahead of us all day, but she didnt bother trying to speak with them as well. Didn't get to enjoy our last few holes as we were being watched and rushed by the employee the whole time. Really disappointed that we spent a decent amount of money as this was a birthday celebration.
