    Cap patch for Canal Shores, the Evanston Wilmette Golf Course
    John P.

    Evanston Wilmette Golf Course, the former Peter Jans Golf Course has re-opened with a lot of community support on the East Side of Evanston and WIlmette. Just played there yesterday and saw some real progress towards running a great community golf course. You can't beat this place for price and convenience, and it is really pretty as well. It's a short course, with golf carts available, so you can get in Nine Holes in an hour or so, but it has 18 holes and is pretty tricky at times, being narrow, and with some tricky barriers, including the El Tracks, the Metra Tracks, and a major Canal, the North Shore Channel running right through the middle. This is a real community golf course, good for all ages and all levels of golfer. Great place to learn, or to sharpen up your game.

    Held a tailgate at Canal Shores before a NU football game. The location couldn't have been better, and they were so very helpful in making sure we had all the right contacts to host an incredible event. I can't recommend the space enough for a tented event - we had almost 400 people with room to spare! Everything had a relaxed, family feel to it, and we absolutely loved it.

    They are doing a lot of upgrading. It's now managed by Kemper Sports Management. Great place for kids to learn golf!

    City golf at its most unique. You can walk from el stop to "pro shop" in three minutes.

    This course is under new supervision and in short time it will become a gem in the area.

    Had an awesome time at Winnetka Golf Club. They have 2 options of courses to play from with a 18…read morehole Par 72 and a 9 hole Par 3 course. Played the 18 holes and it was a beautiful course that looks well maintained and in great shape. I can understand why it's a top 50 public course. Pin locations were challenging, but reasonable. Brian, the park ranger, was really nice and understandable when our group got delayed a bit. The golf carts are equipped with GPS, which is awesome for those without a range finder. The club also has a driving range and putting area for those who just who want to practice or want to warm up before playing a round. They do have a clubhouse that serves drinks and food at the turn and before/after a round. It is on the pricier side, but it is a really nice course to visit. Hope to come back soon!

    Here's the breakdown:…read more -Staff is a hit or miss. They either welcome you, or you're lectured by an unqualified 25 year old kid who thinks he is hot sh!t working in the pro shop telling you how a chip reader works. -Par 3 is in terrible condition. It's more expensive than others, so you're paying the North Shore tax for weeds, divot marks, sticks, leaves, and trash greens. "I can work on my iron game" no you can work on locating a ball in a dandelion field. -Driving range is ok. Not a ton of mats, and they always reserve 1/2 of it for camps and instruction. -Regular course wasn't terrible, other than the prices.
