Woodruff Golf Course

Course Details

Woodruff Golf Course is the oldest of three golf courses operated by the Joliet Park District, opening on the east side of Joliet in 1926. The course is located adjacent to a forest preserve so you'll only find homes visible on a couple of holes. Even from the longest of tees, the Woodruff course plays to a very friendly 5,670 yards. Two other tee boxes play to 4,502 and 5,412 yards. It's a par 68 layout with 14 par 4's and four par 3's.
