There are ball washers but no towels to accompany them. You won't find a snack cart or bathrooms that aren't at the start house. It's easy to get on anytime and plays fast. I've now learned it's because it's so badly kept. It gives the impression of someone just throwing down some greens in a big plot of land and calling it a golf course. Go anywhere else and you'll have a better experience.

We had a reservation for 3 people golfing 1 who wasn't but was just going to be in the cart since she's pregnant.

Overall we usually have fun just that ruined the mood and kinda ruined the day since he was being a douche. All other staff was friendly tho. He was an older black male.

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.

There are a lot of shelters for parties, volleyball nets and good parking. It's good for pets as well. People come here all year long and it's fairly relaxing. There are a few entrances 1) near the golfing center and 2) roughly near the volleyball nets 3) one off the pathway that leads to a nearby neighborhood. There is also this random pathway that is also right off the pathway but I do not know where that leads to. Nonetheless, you can travel up there with the exception of motor vehicles. It's also surrounded by a nearby busy intersection which really doesn't interfere with anything. Just a surrounding area. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes the outdoors.

I love this course also. This course is a short course with 9 holes that is run by East Chicago…read more The course is legit like a professional course. 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.

The back nine needs a makeover or something and that's why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. This is a great course if you want to practice short irons and long shots. The back nine is pretty long and I did not play the full back nine because I was getting quite tired. The back nine is okay and needs to be taken cared of a little more. I would recommend this course because it is open to the public on Mondays and Wednesdays, but I would not travel long distances for this course only because the first nine is a Par 31. Overall nice course.

I've never played a country club that cut the grass but left the dead grass to line the fairway. I am so embarrassed that I invited a couple of my friends to play. There was not one grain of sand in any of the bunkers. Hitting out of the bunkers was like trying to hit the ball of the cart path. I've never called a course to complain about it after 4 holes until today. It's June 8th and nobody played on the course for months due to covid. It's absolutely no excuse for a country club to look this bad.
