Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course is one of Chicago's most beloved and iconic public golf experiences, a nine-hole Chicago Park District layout stretching along the Lake Michigan shoreline in the Uptown neighborhood near Wrigley Field. Affectionately known as 'Waveland' by generations of Chicago golfers, Marovitz sits on the lakefront between Belmont Harbor and Montrose Harbor with sweeping views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan on nearly every hole. The course is flat, walkable, and accessible, making it a quintessential Chicago experience. It is perhaps the most scenic nine-hole urban course in the country, and despite its modest challenge, the atmosphere and location make every round memorable.
Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course has operated as a Chicago Park District facility along the lakefront since the 1930s, originally known simply as Waveland Golf Course before being renamed for a prominent Chicago civic figure. The course was part of the lakefront park system developed during the WPA era and has been a recreational constant for North Side Chicago residents for nearly a century.
