Amazing Golf Course

Jackson Park does the best they can with the incredibly limited resources available to them. The new(ish) range is nice, the balls are in good shape and prices for buckets are fair. All of the staff, pro shop, range, and restaurant are helpful and friendly. The restaurant has a good selection of libations and snacks, and a TV. The 9 hole executive course is deceptively challenging, fun for the kids, but in pretty rough shape with shaggy, weed-dappled greens.Unfortunately, due to the accessible price point and lack of other public options nearby, Jackson draws 'golfers' who have no respect for the course, the game, or other golfers. Pace of play is often miserably slow. There's no sand available to fill divots so the fairways and, even worse, the tee boxes are a disaster. It seems few people playing this course are familiar with a green repair tool or how to use it. The poor course gets beat up because some 'golfers' simply don't care. Yeah, I'm looking at you, four guys who broke covid rules and created a foursome with four carts, got drunk on the illegal booze you smuggled in, played like complete idiots, backed up 5 twosomes behind you, and all shook hands at the end of the round. Please never golf again. It's sad to see the course abused but I'll keep playing here and fixing 5+ ball marks on every green. Please endeavor to do the same so we can all enjoy this public park.

Crowded but good price and good course. Fast greens.

Played the Short 9 course. Not terribly well maintained. Manicure to the groundskeeper may have more to do with nails than grass. However, paid less than $9 for the privilege to chase after a golf ball.

Love the par 3, 9 hole course. Perfect for new golfers and juniors. It is very hilly though and you need to carry your clubs or have a push cart. Only reason i give it 4 stars and not 5 is that it can get quite muddy even days after a rain. Some of the greens are in ok shape (on par 3 course). I can't speak to the 18 hole course as i haven't played that one. I've heard it is very challenging. They also have a nice driving range.

Really good public golf course that also has a driving range. One of the better public courses out there.
