About this course

Katherine Legge Memorial Park is a friendly, park-style course in the western suburbs — mature trees, a small creek, and a layout that reads like a putting-practice marathon. Eighteen holes at par 67 but just 4,720 feet, with most holes playing as short par 4s that reward a clean midrange over big power.

It's free to play, doubles as a dog park, and the creek comes into play on several holes after rain. Perfect for a first round, a solo practice session, or introducing a friend to the sport.

The hilly parkland keeps it interesting despite the modest length — this is a course where accuracy and patience quietly add up to a great score.

§ The signature hole
Hole 18Par 4 · 360 ft

Hole 18 is the longest at Katherine Legge at 360 feet — a park-style closer that asks for a solid drive and a confident approach through the mature trees. After 17 holes of friendly midrange golf, it's the one spot where a little more distance actually helps. It's the hole that ends rounds on a high note.
