Columbus Park Golf Course is a Chicago Park District public facility on the city's west side, located at 5701 West Jackson Boulevard in the Columbus Park neighborhood near Austin. The course occupies parkland within the historic Columbus Park, a landscape design masterpiece by Jens Jensen — one of the most celebrated landscape architects of the Prairie School movement. The park's naturalistic design features lagoons, meadows, and limestone ledges, and the golf course is woven into this extraordinary setting. Columbus Park Golf Course is one of Chicago's hidden treasures, offering an affordable urban round in a historically significant landscape. The course serves the diverse west side community including Austin, Galewood, and Oak Park adjacent neighborhoods. Jens Jensen's landscape vision gives the course a quality of design rare in municipal golf.
Columbus Park was designed by Jens Jensen in 1920 as part of the West Park Commission's vision for the west side of Chicago. Jensen's Prairie Style landscape — featuring native plants, natural stone, and lagoons — is considered one of his finest works. The golf course was incorporated into the park as a recreational amenity that complements Jensen's naturalistic landscape vision, making it one of America's most architecturally distinguished public golf settings.
