About Chicago Golf Report

Walter Lis

Chicago is the home to the first 9-hole and first 18-hole golf courses in the country. It’s also home to more than 200 public golf facilities, including five of the most difficult courses in the US. There is more great golf available in the Chicago metro area than any place on earth.

However, ask any fan of Chicago golf and they’ll all agree on one thing, the golf season in Chicago is too short. There are too many wonderful courses in the Chicagoland area and too few opportunities to experience them.

That time crunch led me to create The Chicago Golf Report. The goal of this site is to help the Chicago golfer maximize their time on the course by bringing as many resources together in one easy-to-use location. The Chicago Golf Report brings you all the course info, tournament info, reviews, instruction tips, equipment info that we can find.
