Hi Everyone!Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page from the city of Chicago.
Seen here along the west side of South Cicero Avenue at approximately West 70th Street, is the entrance sign to the now gone Irv's Golf Range in southwest suburban Bedford Park Illinois, near Chicago's Midway Airport. For many years begining around 1974, My Family and friends, and occasionally Myself, enjoyed spending many fun hours hitting a bucket of practice golf balls here. Irv's featured batting cages, miniature golf, and an arcade with video and pinball games. The site was in operation until 1991. The place was later sold and redeveloped into a Walmart store. Irv's Golf Range was located along the south side of the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard. Think about it -Golf -Batting Cages -Arcade -Railfanning.
It didn't get much better than that! Irv's was really a fun place!

Wow! You used to go there too?
I almost forgot about this place.
Thanks for taking that picture. I practically grew up at Irv's.
IRV'S!!!!!
I used to hit a large bucket of balls every Friday and sometimes during the week too.
Cool
There was a giant ice house next to Irv's.
