Naperbrook Golf Course

It’s a fairly typical park district course: fair greens on the slow side, Kentucky Bluegrass fairways that are well maintained , sand traps inconsistent in level of sand and course design that is fair to good…all the above IMHO. Pluses include a truly friendly staff and reasonable pricing. What would push it to a “B” or four star category: better maintenance of greens and traps + quiet (electric) golf carts.

I consider this my “local course”. I’ve played it dozens of times. It’s always a good round. Although like many public/park district courses it’s sometimes a bit backed up, Naperbrooks staff does a great job of being low key involved but on the spot as well. Green s are always in good conditions and not very fast. Hard to lose a ball and there’s not a lot of “trouble” areas, yet it’s still a challenging but fair course. I play with my junior golfer almost weekly and the front 9 is a very good course for that when you tee them up around 150 out. Bunkers well maintained as is the rest of the course. They have a nice driving range, huge putting green and even a practice bunker. The clubhouse is a small pro shop, with a concessions area that has a really good selection and f adult and all ages beverages. Even about 6 on tap beers. The seating area could be better but the outdoor seating is awesome overlooking the practice facility and the 9th green. Overall I’d say this is a great park district course that is worth a good look if you’re looking to play in the area.
