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.

I do NOT suggest golfing at the Wicker Memorial Park Golf Course. Came in with some friends this…read moremorning and were each charged $48, but quickly found that this course is NOT worth the money. The course layout was very simple and grounds were in poor condition. They have a serious issue with goose feces laying all over their tee boxes, fairways, and greens (see pictures below). It was so bad that you had to consciously watch your step and the ball rolled in it after nearly every shot. You couldn't even swing a club in certain places without dragging it in the droppings, resulting in several instances where the ball had to be moved to a relatively clean location. The grass was so poorly cut that it was difficult to differentiate between the fairway and the rough on several holes, resulting in poor hitting conditions. There were also no ball washing stations available. Almost every hole was a straight shot from the tee box to the pin. There was very little variety or creativity in the design. In addition to all the problems we experienced with the course itself, we were STILL charged the high $48 per person rate in spite of us also all being junior golfers and there weren't many people out on the course. However, the board in the shop that displayed prices stated that juniors were charged $16 per player Monday-Friday. Higher rates on weekends are standard and understandable, but the difference in $32 from weekday to weekend seems unreasonable given that we were juniors, it is early in the season where not many people are golfing yet, and the course is in poor condition and had no special design or amenities. Furthermore, the website for the course indicates that the cost is $45 per person during the SUMMER, yet we were charged more than that today in the SPRING. If this is what their price is in April for the type of experience they provide their guests, then their REAL prices over the summer that they apparently don't care to tell you on their website must be incomprehensible. We regularly play golf as a group and enjoy several courses in the area. However, today, we have played our first and LAST round at Wicker Park. Instead, we will take our money elsewhere and pay far lower and fairer rates for a far better experience.

Only course I've played around the Chicago area with actual elevation change. Cart paths are bad like everyone says, but it won't ruin your day. Last 4 holes are the best, but the whole course presents a good challenge, especially when it's windy because it's so open. More ball washers would be nice. Food at the turn is well priced and has lots of options. Bathrooms are readily available and cart girls came 2-3x over 18 holes, so you won't be left wanting. A little better grass upkeep would boost the rating, but I'd still give it's still good, and I'll be back to try the starboard course.

I've been going there using her number to just lay out, relax, use the pool etc. nothing crazy. I go maybe the 4th time and staff kicks me out telling me that she has to be present with me if I'm going to use the pool. .... I'm 35 years old. To be kicked out of a pool because my grandma isn't with me is petty as hell and ridiculous. Anytime I've been there, there's maybe 10 people there anyways. I've bought food there before as well so they are turning down money for what? To keep the people of briar happy knowing I'm not there? lol. I get it's a club but Jesus Christ, lighten up and don't be so strict. I'm not bothering anyone by laying by the pool. Not happy.

Walking is a good way to go but plenty of carts are available, just no GPS. The only issues I had were a grouchy starter trying to hustle my group along even though we end up stuck waiting towards the end and the clubhouse telling me the wrong pin position. Ball washers are available on every hole and there are porta-potties every 2-3 holes. Unfortunately they weren't running beverage cart service and there's no water refill on course. I enjoyed playing here and lost a few balls but found some others. It's wide open and straight forward but not too cramped where you get balls from other holes flying at you. I'd come back.

However, Erin Czajka, the director of operations is the reason for the 2 stars. She was the most unprofessional person I've ever dealt with. She was rude and late in calling you back.

We had no ideas what the room looked like and then she sent 3 limited pics from someone's shower. Do not expect any customer service from here.

The tee boxes are squared, the fairways have striped and barely any divots on them, and the greens are true greens. Hole 9 is a green you absolutely have to get the ball on the green because it is a postage stamp (the greens that are on a hill). There are no negatives for this course. In conclusion, if you want to work on your short irons, this is the course to be.
