About South Shore Golf Course - CPD

South Shore Golf Course is a historic nine-hole public course operated by the Chicago Park District along the Lake Michigan shoreline in the South Shore neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. Located at 7059 South Shore Drive, the course sits adjacent to the landmark South Shore Cultural Center and the lakefront, offering one of the most distinctive urban golf settings in the country. The flat layout plays through the park with mature trees and views toward Lake Michigan, providing an affordable recreational outlet for South Side residents who might otherwise have limited golf access. As a CPD facility, South Shore Golf is priced for community access and remains an important part of the neighborhood's recreational fabric.

History

South Shore Golf Course has operated as part of the Chicago Park District's extensive public golf network for many decades. The course is closely associated with the historic South Shore Cultural Center, a 1906 landmark that once housed a private country club before the Park District acquired it in 1974. Golf at South Shore has served the South Side community as an accessible recreational resource throughout this period of transition and community investment.
