Description

Joe Louis Golf Course delivers a straightforward but enjoyable round with open fairways and greens that encourage aggressive play. Subtle slopes and strategic bunkering add just enough complexity to keep better players thinking. It's highly walkable and maintains a relaxed pace of play. Community events and leagues add to its lively atmosphere. A great choice for casual, sociable golf.

Great place to play. The price is cool if you catch it on GOLF NOW. The course is kept up good, every time I'm there. Get there early because on warm days it can get crowded approaching noon.

The course itself is decent, and I can overlook things like no rakes in the bunkers—most people don’t use them anyway. But the lack of service and total disorganization is what earns this place one star. I had a 6:00 AM tee time and, like always, I planned to pay for a cart at the register. Instead, I was told they were “sold out” and that I had to book online. That’s ridiculous. When I made the turn, there were carts just sitting there unused (photo below). Walking 18 holes is not what I signed up for, and being refused a cart despite plenty being available is unacceptable. Even worse, when we showed up at 5:40 AM, no one was even in the pro shop. Doors locked. No staff in sight. First tee time in 20 minutes and not a single employee ready to go. On a Saturday. The staff working that morning clearly had no interest in helping anyone or putting in even the smallest amount of effort. Just going through the motions, doing the bare minimum, if that. This place doesn’t have a service problem—it has a no-service problem. It was a frustrating way to start the day and absolutely not worth the money.

First time playing here. My husband and I did the back nine in the evening. The course is pretty challenging, but it was not crowded at all and since we are fairly new to the sport, we didn't feel rushed which was nice. Fairways and greens were both in very good shape and the young lady in the office was very friendly and helpful. The only minor complaint is the pricing ($70 total for the two of us for 9 holes with a cart after 4pm) is kind of high considering this is a public forest preserve course. We will definitely come back and do a full 18 before the season is over.

Loved the course. The bunkers were in disrepair when I played but the greens were fantastic! Especially liked the 2 holes, 1 green. First time seeing that 😄

Really nice golf course in a bit of a tougher area. The holes demand different shot shapes and if it's not too wet, can be a really fun course to play a match on. Back 9 is my favorite, he par 5 in the trees has a wonder green complex. If you love golf and don't mind trying something new, make the treck to Joe Louis. You'll have fun and the "The Champ" will thank you of 18!
