Billy Caldwell Golf Course Overview
For city-dwellers, this fun 9-hole track in Chicago's Edgebrook neighborhood is convenient to play before or after work and has some tricky holes. It's adjacent to the Chicago River, and sometimes gets flooded after heavy rain.
Billy Caldwell is part of the Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, which describes itself as an "education and certification program that helps organizations and businesses protect our environment while enhancing their bottom line." Other golf courses in Chicago with this designation are Columbus Park, Edgebrook Golf, Indian Boundary, Marquette Park, and Sydney R. Marovitz.
The Cook County Forest Preserve owns Billy Caldwell golf course, along with 10 other golf courses, including Burnham Woods, Chick Evans, Edgebrook, George W. Dunne, Indian Boundary, and more.
