Joe Louis The Champ Golf Course

Joe Louis The Champ Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring 6,869 yards. A driving range is on site for practice. At nearly 6,900 yards, this is a long course that demands strong driving and solid iron play. The par-72 format provides a full-length championship test within the forest preserve system.

The course is in Riverdale in the southern Chicago suburbs, operated as part of the Cook County forest preserve golf program. Standard pricing keeps it affordable for a course of this length and scope. The Meadows Golf Club of Blue Island and Fountain Hills Golf Club are among the nearby options. Playing within a forest preserve gives the course a more natural, tree-lined feel than many suburban layouts, and the south suburban location makes it convenient for golfers on Chicago’s south side and the southern Cook County corridor.
