Jackson Park Golf Course is one of Chicago's oldest and most historic public golf facilities, a Chicago Park District course set within the iconic Jackson Park on the South Side along the Lake Michigan lakefront. The course occupies the same park that hosted the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, and golf has been played here for well over a century. The layout offers a flat, traditional parkland experience with mature trees and the surrounding park's green infrastructure creating a pleasant South Side golf atmosphere. Jackson Park is undergoing a significant transformation as the site adjacent to it is being redeveloped — including elements of the Obama Presidential Center — which will ultimately influence the surrounding golf experience. As a Park District course, pricing is very accessible.
