    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!

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

    The puttery was such a great experience! The food here is actually good, or at least better than…read moretypical bar food. The two courses are really fun and the rooms are very themed. One is a library kinda like Harry Potter. The other is snow/ski lodge themed. The reservation option for unlimited play and food tickets was a pretty good deal at around $40. With a group of 3 people each course ended up taking about 30 minutes. Some of the courses were kinda hard and we ended up just skipping after 6 tries since that's the max score. There were times when the screen glitched out or when the previous people at the course left their scorecard and it needed to be cleared. It wasn't that big of deal but one of us did have to get an employee from the dining area when this happened (at the ski lodge course). The software is pretty cool, you use the tablet at each station and once you finish inputting your score, your group's scorecard will automatically pop up at the next location. Perfect fun especially when you go at a time that's not too busy. We went on Mother's Day evening so maybe that's not a popular activity for mother's. Overall I'd recommend puttery to anybody that enjoys mini golf or wants a fun date idea.

    This is a really fun spot to come to for a date night or with friends! This could also be a really…read morefun birthday party or private event. It's set up perfectly for that. Their food was really good and the bar service was fast. The course itself is set up like a library and it was really neat because you couldn't see everything all at once you had to do lots of twists and turns. It was challenging, but not overly difficult. Definitely set up more for adults than kids, but still counts as play. I'm excited to see what their other courses are like on other floors.
