If you’re looking for a low-key, scenic 9-hole course that won’t drain your wallet, Shoop Park Golf Course is worth a swing. Nestled right along Lake Michigan’s shore in Wind Point / Racine, the course treats you to some genuine lake views and even glimpses of the Wind Point Lighthouse. What works well: • The setting is a highlight. Some holes wrap close to the lake; the breeze off the water adds character (and challenge). • It’s affordable, especially for walking play. For a modest investment you can enjoy a full round with charm. • The course forces you to use variety: with shorter yardages and small greens, precision can pay off more than power. • The elevation changes—such as a tee box 50 feet above the green on one par-3—add a fun twist. What you should know (trade-offs): • The fairways are not irrigated, so during dry stretches they get firm and can play like a traditional “Scottish style” course. • Greens are mostly flat; they aren’t dramatically contoured, so if you’re looking for tricky, breaking putts, you might be disappointed. • Course condition is decent, but some areas show wear. It’s not a pristine resort layout—but for what it is, it holds up nicely. • Because it’s small and public, you won’t find a full driving range or lots of bells and whistles. Overall thoughts: This is a solid, charming 9-hole gem. If you enjoy relaxed rounds, don’t mind a course with character (and quirky challenges), and want to soak in lake ambiance, Shoop Park delivers. It won’t wow you like a championship course, but for its price and setting, it’s a satisfying and memorable play.

The course is unbeatable for the price. It has amazing views of the lake including a lighthouse. The greens are well maintained and the rest of the course offers a good challenge. I couldn't recommend this place enough, It really is a gem tucked in Wind Point.

This is super little 9 hole course on Lake Michigan and has all kinds of different holes. It’s 5 stars on views, layout and greens. The fairways need work. For $13 to walk is a steal. Much better than Washington Park GC in Racine.

This is a fantastic course, staff is super friendly. Super scenic and the course is very well maintained. In heavy rain periods the course takes a bit of time to dry out because of all the hills/valleys which should be expected. Also, course is walking with push carts only (due to the villiage rules).

Amazing views and friendly staff as well as customers. If you're looking to learn or sharpen parts of your game, this is a very welcoming course to do either. No one is in a rush and a great place to slow down and enjoy the game!
