Important Changes to Tee Time Bookings

Golfers –

We are happy to announce that all tee times booked online will be paid for at time of booking. This will allow you to check-in with the starter and tee off while continuously maintaining the CDC recommended 6 foot distance from our staff and other guests.

As such, all tee times booked online must be paid for at time of booking. As we work through this technological transition you may not see the correct rate after you’ve logged into the booking engine. If so, please call the golf shop directly to book your play and pay via phone with a credit card.

Additionally, our rates have been simplified so we apologize, but additional discounts, gift cards, gift of golf vouchers and rain checks will not be accepted online at this time.

This is only temporary as we understand the real threat of the current conditions while also trying to provide some level of physical activity. Establishing this balance during a very fluid situation will be challenging; if for any reason you cannot make your tee time and you booked it through our website please log in to your account and cancel. If you booked directly through GolfNow please go to their website and cancel. If those options are not possible, or you run into an issue please call the golf shop directly.

Read our FAQ's before booking, calling or arriving at the course!

The Course

Billy Caldwell, located on Chicago’s north side, is 3,029 yards of pure golfing fun.

Big hitters may be tempted to go for the green on the par 4, 293 yard 5th hole, but beware - attempting to clear the water to find the sharply undulating green just may result in a costly penalty!

Only ten minutes from Downtown, it is a perfect place to play a quick nine!
