Chicago is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Chicago follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The course was in great shape with lots of additional improvements in progress. New practice facility opens in September with many new tee boxes to follow. Bunkers were completely refreshed with new sand. Played in 3:20. Staff was friendly.

Full 18 tournament course holes on the south side with a long and rich history. Front 9 gets you warmed up, and then back 9 turns up the challenge level. Very attractive for a public course. Nice variety of layouts, some sand, some water. Recently updated, with a new short game arena opening by the end of the season and some fresh teeboxes almost ready (8/26) Very pleasant course to play. Staff is really great. Friendly and attentive. Rangers are proactive and helpful. Full changing room. Limited food selection on weekdays.

Best course in the city for the price! I've been playing golf at Jackson Park on and off for 20 years. The recent renovations have drastically improved the course. Fresh sand traps is also huge. Looks like they may be trying to expand to 72 par too. Count me for many more rounds!

Nice improvements this summer (2026) and staff is super friendly. Be sure to bring your own water - only one fountain on the course and it doesn't taste great. Grounds are in good shape. Note that there isn't a turn at the clubhouse, so it's not the best course to play 9. You'll end up walking 9 holes back to the parking lot.

This is a good course to play, but recently I've been a bit upset with them. 1. The price is way to high for a Park District course. 2. They charge $20 extra PER PERSON for a damn cart. Way too much. 3. The bunkers are trash, it's not even sand, it's freakin' dirt. Literally DIRT. The dirt was so hard, I actually putted out onto the green. They should be ashamed of their bunkers, and their 2 blocks from the beach!!! Overall it's a decent course but it makes no sense that Marquette Parks course in in better condition than Jackson Parks. GET IT TOGETHER. I'm starting to not play here.
