Lake Park Golf Course & Marina occupies a compact parcel along the Des Plaines River, where nine fairways thread between riverbank cottonwoods and a municipal marina. The front side features gentle elevation changes created by the river’s historic meanders, while the back side runs along an old rail embankment that now serves as a raised cart path. Tees sit on compacted river sand, and several greens are built atop dredged material from the adjacent boat basin. A narrow channel separates the ninth green from the tenth tee, requiring players to cross a small lift bridge that opens for sailboats heading upstream. Maintenance crews mow the rough only twice each season, leaving a dense stand of switchgrass and crown vetch that borders most landing areas. The course’s irrigation draws directly from the river, and staff monitor daily discharge rates from upstream reservoirs to adjust pump schedules. Public access is controlled by a single entrance kiosk that issues paper scorecards and collects green-fee envelopes after the attendant leaves at dusk.
