This is where Mike’s Monday league plays, and it’s one of the regular stops for a quick 9 or a full 18. Rates are fine, better if you live nearby. Built in 1970, it plays to a par 72 with water coming into play on about a third of the holes and wind that’s part of every round.
The bar has snacks and hot dogs, the pro shop crew is great, and beverage carts actually run the course, something that’s gotten rare these days. There’s also a big driving range to loosen up on before you tee off.

Golfers in the south Chicago suburbs who want to get in and out without getting stuck behind slow play.

I’m a sucker for course memorabilia, and a ball marker is the easiest souvenir there is. My original display got discontinued on Etsy, so I hunted down a solid replacement. Holds both magnetic and poker chip markers, comes ready to hang, and you can personalize it.
Probably my favorite course in Chicagoland right now, and I only just found it. Kind of annoyed at myself honestly. I’ve lived in the south suburbs for almost five years and somehow missed this place the whole time.
Highly recommend Silver Lake Rolling Hills for anyone in the area, especially if you want an early 9 that does not take up your whole day. And if you have more time, the North and South courses at Silver Lake are worth the trip too.
How to get sweat stains and grime out of your golf hats without wrecking the shape. Tested methods, no gimmicks.
Early tee times, 9 holes instead of 18, a net in the garage, and a clean kitchen before you leave. Here’s how one dad actually keeps golf in his life.
Found Woof Caps and honestly it might be my favorite hat brand, golf or otherwise. They make performance hats built around dog breed designs, and the lineup is huge.
