Wedgewood Golf Course
Fast rounds, a good bar, and a pro shop full of good people keep this in regular rotation. Just budget for non-resident rates and don’t expect tour-quality greens.
Golf Ball Marker Display
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.

Overview
Every course I play, I grab a marker. Cheap, small, and an easy way to prove you were there. Most run $2 to $5, so it’s not exactly a budget-buster, but the collection adds up fast. I’ve got one rule for myself: markers only come from courses I’ve actually played. I broke it once, for the Old Course at St. Andrews, because come on.
My original marker display finally went out of stock on Etsy, so I went looking for a replacement. This one from AprilWilkersonStore caught my eye on looks and reviews alone (I haven’t gotten my hands on it yet, so this is a recommend based on what’s out there, not a full hands-on review like my other pages).

Honest Take
A cheap hobby deserves a display that doesn't look cheap
|
Who It's Best For
Golfers who collect markers as course souvenirs and want to actually show them off instead of tossing them in a drawer
|
What’s good
- Handles both marker styles, magnetic and poker chip, in one display.
- Comes with hanging hardware, ready out of the box.
- Personalization block for a name, initials, or a phrase.
- Cherry wood build looks like it belongs on a wall, not a junk drawer.
What’s not
- Can be pricy for just a display, but im not handy enough to build one myself so its worth it!
- Haven’t tested it myself yet, so durability is unconfirmed.

Verdict: 4.3 Breakfast Balls out of 5
This one's niche, I'll be the first to admit it. Not everyone wants a wall of golf ball markers staring at them. But if you're the kind of guy who grabs a marker every round to remember where you played, this is the easiest way to actually show it off instead of letting it collect dust in a golf bag pocket.

Green Garden Country Club
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.

Silver Lake Country Club – Rolling Hills
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.

Woof Caps Hats
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.
