Historic Tam O’Shanter Golf Course can trace its roots all the way back to 1925 when Tam O’Shanter Country Club was one of the premier golf facilities in the country. The course was home to some of the richest tournaments of the 1940’s and 1950’s and hosted the best players in the world (check out some great shots from these tournaments in our photo section!). In 1973, as the property was slated f

or industrial development, the Niles Park District was able to purchase land north of Howard St. where the 9 Hole, Par 33 course remains today. Niles Park District is proud to keep the rich tradition of Tam O’Shanter alive with fantastic playing conditions and an enjoyable layout for both beginning and seasoned golfers. The accompanying Tam Golf Learning Center is home to all our instructional programming, which is available year round thanks to our indoor putting green and chipping area, and full swing hitting stations. This page will be updated with course news and current conditions when inclement weather is in the area. Explore our other posts and flyers to find info on all we have to offer including:

If April showers do bring May flowers, next month is going to be BEAUTIFUL here at Tam. After over 2.50" of rain overnight, the golf course is flooded and will remain closed today Wed, April 15. With water rising and more rain on the way, we will almost certainly be closed tomorrow as well. Updates are always available at our booking page on golftam.com. We hope to see you back soon!
