Chicago Heights East Golf Course Overview Updated June 17, 2025
Situated just west of the Thorn Creek woods, the Chicago Heights East Golf Course offers a distinct experience from its more historic sibling, the West course. Opened in 1991 and owned by the Chicago Heights Park District, this layout was brought to life by the prolific architect Ken Killian, known for designing gems like Kemper Lakes, George W. Dunne, and Chalet Hills. Interestingly, the 55 acres of land it sits on were originally slated to become a trailer park, but green space prevailed. A 1989 Chicago Tribune article noted the course's groundbreaking and its nearly $2.4 million cost, and by 1992, the park district director projected the construction bond would be paid off within four years from course revenue alone, with profits potentially funding future projects like an ice rink.

The course itself is a par 36 layout that stretches to 3,165 yards. It features two par 5s and two par 3s -- standard procedure. The layout is quite flat and very walkable, with a sensible 10 minute spacing between tee times. While it is mostly open, don't let that fool you into a false sense of security. Numerous fairway and greenside bunkers are strategically placed throughout the track. Water is also a significant feature, with five bodies of water coming into play, a stark contrast to the nearby West course. The greens are relatively small but are not overly complicated to read. Given its modest price point, you can expect typical municipal course conditioning, which is a fair trade for the value.

Off the course, a large brick clubhouse serves as the central hub. Inside, you will find a small pro shop stocked with a few golf basics. The building also houses the Iron Pearl restaurant. While the restaurant may not always be fully staffed, the bar, with seating for about eight, is at least consistently functional. Tables are available outside, and there’s a modest event space for larger gatherings. For those looking to warm up before golfing, the practice facility is unfortunately limited to a single practice green. There is no driving range on site, but a quick ten minute drive will get you to the range at Glenwoodie if you need to tune up before your round.
