Canal Shores Golf Course is an 18 hole, par 60 layout on the east side of Evanston and Willmette bordering the North Shore Channel of the Chicago River. It's an old layout from the early 1900s that's been updated and re-imaged through community support.

The layout is very unique as it crosses six city streets when playing and will find yourself waiting at crosswalks for traffic to clear as you amble along the park-like setting. Altogether, there's 12 par 3s and the balance of the par 4s are mostly drivable albeit with minuscule green complexes featuring several template greens. It will play to 3,612 yards, 59.6/93, course/slope ratings from the white tees with one shorter set of tee boxes, design by Todd Quito.
