Save your money go play Balmoral Woods or Deer Creek down the road.

For one thing, all the greens are elevated for proper drainage. Moreover, it's cart path only when wet. So how could this place be a dump? It's one of the harder short courses in the Chicagoland area at about 6600 yards with 131 slope rating and tight fairways. The greens slope downward from top to bottom with decent undulation. The pros: This course makes you think and shape your drives. It is always well manicured and very nice greens. We played when greens were wet and they were faster than most dry greens at other courses. I can only imagine how much faster they are when hot and dry. Most of the greens are in excellent shape with exception to some patchy areas. There is binocular on every cart for distance. The cons: All of the par 5s are on 1st 9 holes and none on 2nd 9 holes. I can't understand why. Some holes are poorly marked so you have to guess the distance if you make a bad shot. The course is a bit short for long hitters but you have to be accurate. I paid $37 in October which is a great price for this caliber of a course. Yes it's far from the city but it's well worth it.

Just had to cancel our reservations this year at last minute when all had been changed for our group by the course. No communication. Tee times were made in Mar, and today is in month of August. Just had to cancel because of the treatment to our group of all srs. Even worse this yr. Don't believe them , don't trust them. Course has gone downhill and the lady in charge is far from welcoming and then blames all on those coming to play. So very sad. Stay away, ! By the way, our group played ever week 32 diff courses in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. This is now the worst. And, least welcoming.

The only knock is no towels on the ball washers and no cart GPS. Everywhere you look is visually appealing. It's a short, open course so you'll hear a fair amount of "FORE" but that also helps to not lose your ball. Pace could've been a faster but never felt terribly backed up, and 4.5 hours to finish is reasonable.

Let me preface this review stating I am 66 years old and grew up playing Wicker Park golf course as…read morea young adult. This course along with Scherwood was my home golf course while playing on the Highland High School Golf team in the late 70's. I stopped playing there years ago because of the politics, neglect and overall vision of the golf course. I live in Myrtle Beach S.C. and traveled to Highland for Mother's Day. So, today 05/11/26 my brother and I decided to play Wicker Park as a last send off to a course we embraced as adolescences. I work at TPC golf course in Myrtle Beach and know a little about golf course maintenance. First tee, tee box shaggy and half cut. Tee markers spaced out more than the 6 step requirement. Fairways a total shit show. Lost or hard to find balls in the fairway. All fairways were unacceptable in terms of cutting length. Areas on golf course were totally neglected. Totally disappointing in overall appearance and playability. Wicker Park used to be the golden standard you measured your golf ability to.
