I'm going to be in Chicago for a few days in early August to meet up with an old college buddy for some fun and golf, and was hoping some of you Chicago guys could recommend some good golf courses not too far from downtown. Nothing too fancy, but also not a shitty little municipal course. Would also appreciate some feedback on the best area to stay that is convenient for a typical tourist. Thanks
Check this out if you are in town: http://www.chicagotraveler.com/attractions/chicago-air-water-show.html This is a great place to stay: http://www.thedrakehotel.com/?WT.srch=1 Golf courses: http://chicagogolfguide.com/ Too bad you will miss this: http://www.chicagotraveler.com/attractions/taste-of-chicago.html Take in a game at Wrigley. If you come in October, it might be RedSox vs Cubs. nitro
This hotel is 60% off. Right where a tourist would want to be. http://hotels.travelzoo.com/chicago-hotels/309831 nitro
I'm looking into moving to Chicago within the next year or so after I graduate college. Since you guys are being so helpful with hotel accomodations and attractions for visitors, how about reccomending some resources for finding an aparment up there? There seem to be a lot of luxury highrises that are centrally located...is it possible to get a 1 bedroom in one of these for <1100/mo? Thanks.
The "luxury highrises" are in Streeterville.. . you don't want to live there. Use http://www.housingmaps.com/ to search in Lincoln Park and Old Town.
