This mall was packed when I was a kid in the 90s and even through the 2000s and early 2010s. They had a nice arcade in the 90s, candy store with tons of beanie babies when that was the big craze, huge lines to sit with Santa in winter… Sad that it is now a ghost town.

The real OGs would remember the bowling alley that was in the parking lot by JC Penny’s.

With the pizza place inside! Made with oregano instead of basil. It was the best!!

Note that the reason for the name "Golf Mill" was that the mall was located at the intersection of Golf Rd. and Milwaukee Ave.. The water wheel was one of my favorite places to visit as a young child.

Its so sad to see the state of it now. Growing up I remember when the theater was seperate where that workout place is now. They also had a grocery store in the backlot area.

This was one of my childhood malls. I haven't been there in forever. I live in Chicago but I don't drive. The last time I was there, I saw "Kingsmen". Wonderful video!

All the fun memories I had when I was younger. Eating panda express after shopping with my family. I hope this mall doesn’t die ❤

Unfortunately it is going to close and be redeveloped into golf mills town center according to the malls website. 😭 so a dumb mixed use thing I’m sure.

I remember when they enclosed the mall and I went there the first week it opened up I was with a friend and that mall looks so beautiful back then the revamping was great, but I’m noticing with almost all malls are looking this way throughout the whole country but yeah when this small open it was so nice or should I say reopened in fact when it was an outdoor mall that’s where I bought my prom dress laughing out loud but the mall is definitely state of the art for its time.

I used to go when it was open air. Shopped at Jackies Circle, Albert K, Woolworth. Vwhen I was 13 /14 years old I'd go to JCPs candy counter and get 25 cents worth of m&m's or the red died pistachios, The candy lady would scoop them into a white paper bag. I'd then go sit by the water mill and people watch. Went to the Mill Run theater now and then too.

Thinking about coming here in the fall! Hope they keep it some parts of 2025 especially the golf mill professional building with the Otis touch sensitive buttons!

The Panera Bread was to your left behind you, when you were outside by the butterfly garden.

Sad to go there now. Feel sorry for all those trying to make a living. The biggest "F" was when someone decided to choke the Mall right in the middle when Sears left, like saying: die, die now! Not the brightest idea, although I think it was intentional, as if telling the other retailers and their customers, "Get out!"
