Indian Boundary Golf Course

Big wood playground.
At least twice the size of a normal park
Pond that had ducks to feed.
Path for bikes, if there are not to many walkers.
Big round cement fountain during the summer time.
Tennis courts.
Areas to play with your dog if not too crowded.
Small zoo with animals, sometimes.
But a little nature area to walk in.

My partner and his cousin reserved a tee time earlier in the week. Yesterday, upon arriving at the course were approached by Ray and told they wouldn’t be getting on the course. My partner and his cousin are both black.
Ray tried to argue that since they were both sharing a bag they were violating course policy. Nowhere on the course rule board does it say that there is a two bag minimum. It only states that there is a two bag maximum per golf cart. To make it worse, Ray did this publicly in front of other golfers in an attempt to embarrass my family.
It is obvious that Indian Boundary does not welcome people of color. With the number of courses in the area, we will be bringing our business elsewhere.

bad course conditions, and they still charged us full price for the round? eh… wish they were more flexible that when the fairways are damaged that they’d take a few bucks off, that would have been the right thing to do.

Scenic and forgiving fairways are the takeaways at Indian Boundary. The course really captures the essence of a forest preserve course with its wildlife and vegetation. The course has many wide open fairways. The greens are kept pretty well. Overall, this course provides a pretty relaxing and enjoyable round of 18.

Definitely worth your money. Fun course and excellent employees.
All par 5’s are reachable in two, and 3 of them are between holes 14 – 18 holes leaving you a nice comeback opportunity for those who aren’t able to get out much and need some holes to get some consistency going.
Extremely open, resulting in easy recovery shots. The holes are fairly short so drivers don’t have to be used on many holes. I would consider the greens relatively flat and and slow resulting in little break in putts.
Great pricing, but you pay for what your getting. Low green fees result in lesser amounts of money available for improving the quality of the course. That being said, the course is very well maintained and in good condition.
The average bogey golfer should be able to come out here and shoot 10 – 14 over while the once in a while social golfer will be able to muster together some respectable shots. Makes for a solid practice round for golfers of any skill level.

One of the better Forest Preserve Course in Cook County, challenging holes and good mixture of trees and water, lacking in the number of bunkers. Great natural landscaping and will always run into your pack of deer which adds character to a round of golf. Love hole #15, par 3 175 yards, my one and only Hole-​In-​One!!!

The course is in excellent shape for a muni, I usually get out as as early as possible I have walked 18 holes with 3 other walkers on Saturday morn teeing off at 6am and play in less than 4 hours

Price was great, course was well kept. Can’t believe this is a park district course. They serve beer and food and have carts for people who don’t feel like walking. Friendly staff.

This course plain out stinks! Not only do they allow leagues to head out with 5somes but there is NO ONE watching to make sure players are keeping pace. I took me 2 and a half hours to get to the 7^th hole. If you like slow play, goose crap on the greens, and 3 group backups at every hole this place is for you.

Very nice, well-​maintained course with courteous, professional staff. Yes, it is crowded on weekends in the summer. So chill out, enjoy the nature and a relaxing round.

4 stars for the enjoyment if you know what you’re getting:
1. Close to the City for those of us living in the City that we don’t have to get in hrs of traffic to and fro;
2. Course is in pretty decent shape;
3. A LOT of short, score-​able holes which makes for a fun time and good score and some longer, legit holes to make you feel like you challenged yourself — so a good place to take more novice guys that they will enjoy themselves;
4. Priced appropriately; and
5. good hot dogs!
All in all, a fun course if you know that you’re playing a short course that may have a group of hackers in front of you. Grab some beers and relax.

Friend, y staff. Great municipal course. Challenging layout. Highly recommended. Need to update indoor lounge. Plan to return.

I like Indian Boundary a lot. It’s a public course, and the rates are on the low side, so yeah, you’re gonna see your fair share of hackers (me) and drinkers (me) and goof-​offs (me). Seriously though, my buddy and I shoot in the mid 90s or so (high 80s on this course), so this is a perfect spot. It’s a short course and a there’s not a lot of imagination to a bunch of the holes, but it’s really quite pretty, and well-​maintained for a public course (see Jackson Park or Marovitz for contrasting courses).
The staff is nice, people are friendly, the carts are gas-​powered, and they have beers in 24 oz cans. All in all a great place to spend 4 – 5 hours. I wish there was a little more difficulty, and I wish the other golfers fixed their ball marks on the greens, but other than that, hard to complain about much on this course. Plan on going back for sure.

Played here yesterday, and I give this course 2 big thumbs up. Some of the forest preserve courses tend to be a bit unkempt, but this course is very nice, considering we’ve had the rainiest July ever, the course is in pretty good shape, the holes are challenging, the fairways are wide and long, all in all a nice place to play. The mosquitoes were terrible, but given it’s been raining to the extent that we may need to start building Arcs soon, and this course is in the woods it is to be expected. I was nicely surprised at the amount of wildlife we saw — deer, a coyote (yes a coyote) and a blue heron. Nice!

If you want to play golf in mosquito infestation and hit out of mud or water, this is your place.

We played Indian Boundary Golf Course (18-​holes) on a Sunday in April around 9:30AM and finished our round at roughly 2:30PM playing a moderate pace. The course is extremely wide-​open at times, while maintaining challenging approaches and multi-​level greens. They had just aerated the greens so the putting wasnt superb, but overall the course is in excellent shape and seems to be well maintained. We got a great del at $ 60 for two plus a cart and were paired with two other local regulars that were a lot of fun to knock the ball aroubnd with. The marshall gave us a great breakdown fo teh course when we checked in and even offered a little advice with the high winds. There was no shortage of wildlife either as we spotted several deer on hole 2, a guy fishing in a muddy lake, and flocks of geese. I pasted in some of the text from the website. These are not my words though. I will definitely be back soon.
Recenlty redesigned by renowned golf architect Dick Nugent Indian Boundary is a track suited for all levels of golfers. With its heavily-​wooded layout and strategically placed water and sand the course is both scenic and challenging.

DAILY RATES:

I can’t believe how well they redesigned this place. Back in the Mid 90’s, it was a overpriced dump.
The fairways and greens are in wonderful shape. Not only does Indian Boundry offer a challenging course, it offers beautiful scenery as well. Like Edgebrook, Indian Boundry is also a nature preserve. The course is filled with Deer. Golf and Wildlife, not a bad way to spend a few hours.
The only bad thing about this course is the pace of play. If you try to play on the weekend, a six hour round is not out of the question, but if you pick your spots and play on a day that’s not busy, you will have a enjoyable experience.
The Bottom line on Indian Boundry is: Friendly, helpful staff, beautiful course and reasonable rates makes Indian Boundry a must see destination for everyone from the Hacker to the low handicapper. If you pick your spots and walk on when the course isn’t busy, you will enjoy a wonderful golf experience.

Of course it’s slow if you go on a weekend! It’s a inexpensive public course in Chicago! You want to play a 3.5 hour game of golf, then either go during a week day, join a private club or go and pay to play some place that cost $ 100+ a person.
The fairways need some work, but once again… You get what you pay for. Friendly staff, cute beer girls and they serve Fat Tire! Sure it’s in a can, but it’s FAT TIRE! Cheep golf and good beer. What more do you want?

This is one if the better FP courses. It is going to be packed on the weekends and there are always a bunch of old timers here. The course has some longer holes but few people bother to repair ball marks. Etiquette people.

I played 18 holes here with good old friend yesterday and we had a mega blast!
Sure it was a little packed because of the weather, and the wait at the 2^nd and 8^th holes wera crazy long, but just being out there and running around hitting the baLL was great. I got to practice the patented shake & bake swing!
Overall for the price and the proximity to the city this is a good place to play. Plus its easy to smuggle in a CASE of beer like me and Eli did ! hehehehehe… yeah we did!!!
Hipster free golf course!
Shake and bake seal of approval!
