South Shore is not as well maintained as it was during its glory years as a private club, but the Chicago Police Department has a substantial presence there since the mounted police stable their horses there. Once you are on the property things are usually okay. I have heard bad things about safety at Jackson Park. River Oaks was a muddy mess the last time that I golfed there.
Some of my Polish friends went to South Shore to Golf last Summer- They were not treated very well. The Park District guy kept asking them where they were from - they told him the North Side. The Park District guy said - you don’t have any Golf Courses up there?
I tried to warn them.
