Golfing in Chicago


Now that spring is here, a golfing charter bus tour of Chicago is a good idea. Home to a plethora of public golf courses, many owned and operated by the Chicago Park District, you will have no problems finding a great set of greens to fulfill your golfing needs while visiting the Second City in a charter bus. Whether looking for challenging fairways, spectacular views or both, every course gives you a unique view of the city while you enjoy a relaxing game on the links. Plan your charter bus golfing visit to Chicago with a bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus rented from Bus Company Chicago.
Situated 16 minutes by charter bus from downtown on the city's south side, the Harborside International Golf Center challenges players with its two 72 par, 18-hole championship levels courses designed by Dick Nugent. Filled with bunkers, grassy hills, manicured greens and long fairways, these courses present a challenge to even the most seasoned veterans. Rates vary on weekends and weekdays. Rental clubs are available for Chicago charter bus visitors.
Set along Chicago's North Shore, the Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course offers charter bus golfers spectacular views of Lake Michigan and downtown. Considered one of the Park District's most challenging courses, its nine-hole, 36 par (39 par W) championship length disguises a truly difficult set of greens. Weekend and weekday rates vary and golf carts are available, as well as student and senior discounts. A special Ladies League takes place every Tuesday during the summer.
Expansive fairways and open greens define the links style course of Columbus Park. Novices will find this nine-hole, 35 par (36 par W) course on Chicago's Near West side entertaining and challenging. For the experienced and higher handicap charter bus players, the course may be less challenging yet a good place to stay in the game and keep the rust out. Cart rentals are available. Rates differ on the weekends and discounts apply to certain age groups.
Located on the former grounds of the 1893 World's Fair, the 18-hole, 70 par (71 par W) Jackson Park Golf Course provides a full day of challenges for charter bus golfers amongst mature hardwood trees, large ponds and sand bunkers. The par five fairways expand for over 500 yards, complemented by challenging and compact par threes; a combination calling for charter bus golfers to carry a full bag. Carts are available and rates vary from the weekend to weekdays with special Twilight hours, senior and student discounts.
Offering nine holes and a 35 par just 10 minutes by charter bus from downtown Chicago, the Billy Caldwell Golf Course presents a unique and natural golfing atmosphere as it is part of the Forest Preserve Golf of Cook County.
