Canal Shores Golf Course
1030 Central Street, Evanston, IL 60201
Golf Courses
Tucked into the heart of a scenic residential neighborhood in Evanston and Wilmette, we’re an 18-hole, par 60 course suitable for golfers of all skill levels and ages.
In 1919, when the North Shore Channel was new, and the area surrounding it was largely unusable, some progressive and creative leaders of Evanston and Wilmette joined together with a vision for a golf course — not just any golf course, but one tailored to wind through our communities and provide a unique public golf experience.
