Joe Louis Golf Club

missing a lot of grass and black dirt on lots of the fairways

6th time at this track this year at 630am, best time to get out there to beat the rush. Track is exactly what you pay for, there are some long challenging holes but don't expect any pristine lies in the fairway. I'll see you again next season Joe Louis!

$17 per person for a cart. What a rip off. The course was OK at best. Too many unrepaired divot marks on the greens to count. A few of the fairways were just dirt, not even dead grass. After reading reviews of the course for this season i was skeptical to spend my money here, but was convinced by someone who’s played here before. But after our round here neither if us will be back.

wonderful day to play on a almost great course. still no sand in the traps nd the tee boxes need work. everything else was good

Course maintenance was lacking, but still plenty playable. Pace of play is poor and starter operations could be improved.

As we were finishing up the last half of the back nine we were told by members of the "clubhouse" that we had to end our round as it was too dark to play.... it was 6pm and still light out! He then went on to state that he was the only one there and had to get out of here to go do something else. We paid for a full 18 holes of golf and were terribly disappointed when we weren't allowed to finish our round. This is unacceptable as they should either, not be offering 18 hole reservations between the times of 4pm and 5pm if they don't allow us to finish. I would like a refund to compensate our time driving out to this course and not being able to play what we fully pre-paid for an 18 hole round of golf.

The greens have so many ball marks, it's almost impossible to play a green without someone in your cousins having an impacted putt. You can't really tell where the fairway starts and the rough ends. 95% of the course was near rock dry but there were a few random soggy spots. My golf cart had duck tape over rips on the seat.

The staff was friendly. The bratwurst was pretty good. The golfers were diverse and laid back. If you aren't a good golfer, you won't be judged. If you just want to shoot your 105, get a tan, and have a relaxing day, you can do that here. You may have to wait a bit to hit your ball when it's on an adjacent fairway, but that you won't be the only one.

First 9 holes took 3 HOURS!! At the turn I told the manager and even the the slow foursome still had not teed off on 10 he said nothing. I was laying down on the 12th hole t box having already been on the course for 4 HOURS!! After 5 minutes I looked up and the foursome in front of us hadn't moved AT ALL. It was going to be a 6 1/2 hour round!! I walked off. Never will I play there again!!!

The course offers enough challenge for all skill levels. Deep rough and undulating greens keeps you on your toes. Fairways and greens are in rough shape. Pace of play is 4.5-5 hours. Overall, it’s a fun course for a decent price.

The course was not as bad as some of these reviews claim. I played for my first time, and enjoyed the course. The rough is a bit deep, and does need a thinning, but the rest of the course is just fine. The greens are tricky and different at every hole, great city course, beginner or not. I played from blue tees and did fairly well. Would play again

Not bad, fairways had some dirt/dead areas but greens and tee boxes were good.

The fairways are trashed, burnt out, patchy and basically worse than hitting from the rough. Don’t play here... especially for $38z

Had a 7:30 tee time, had a great round.. very slow though

Couldn’t tee off until an hour after our tee time because they didn’t have enough carts available. Ran out of food AND beer so an employee went to the store bought a case of beer and resold them for $5 per 12oz. can.

This course should be $15 per golfer for 18 holes. $40 for the round per golfer and they couldn’t get anything right. Not a shocker considering it’s in South Chicago.

Had a good time but will never return.
