Driving ranges in Chicago: grass, mats & practice features
Chicago golfers split their practice between Chicago Park District ranges inside the city, including the lakefront Diversey range in Lincoln Park and the grass-tee facility at Marquette Park, and a deep bench of park-district and forest-preserve ranges in the suburbs from Addison to Des Plaines to Oak Lawn. Surfaces vary widely: the city ranges at Diversey and Jackson Park are mat-only, while suburban spots like Links & Tees in Addison run 50-plus stations across grass and synthetic turf.
29 public ranges compared. Surface badges are only marked verified when our research found explicit evidence.
