Amazing Golf Course

I used to pay $14 to play at Canal Shores, but today I was charged $35. That was surprising, but when I began playing, the course had been completely re-done. Great improvements! Worth the extra money!

Friendly communal golf course where no matter how bad you may be you do not feel the pressure to finish the hole faster. The golf course also doubles as a park and there are plenty of friendly people walking their dogs, going for a run, or simply enjoying the day. There are no par 5 but there are a couple 300 yard holes.

Love this golf course - cheap, fun holes (hitting over the canal), beautiful views, quick play (mostly par 3) and super neighborhoody

Great place to host an invitational

Very unique public course that plays along the North Shore Channel through Evanston and Wilmette. Service here in the club house was friendly and they looked to be accommodating a large party when we arrived. If you look online in advance some tee times go on sale. Our green fees were $10 (minus cart). Which is extremely cost efficientThe course is a relatively long considering for the most part it's par 3 course. The holes themselves are lined with trees and some are narrow with nearby neighborhoods within striking range. The river comes into play on a handful of holes here as well. I would advise buying a motorized cart here as in addition to being a lengthy course, you also have to drive across and through streets to get to succeeding holes. I felt the distance to most of the Greens was extremely deceptive here. It looked further away and played closer than it looked. We lost a lot of balls. The Greens I thought were relatively small for some of the holes but they played extremely fast. Aim for the fairway in front and watch it roll. While the Greens played fast, some were also really beat up too. All in all. It's a good course and we had a good time. I could certainly see us coming back at a future date.
