This course features narrow fairways lined with mature oak trees. The course does not have any water hazards, but it does have several deep ravines and sand bunkers positioned on nearly every hole. The ravine on hole 6 drops about sixty feet in elevation. One of the most difficult holes is 10, a 284-yard, par 4, requiring a well-placed tee shot up a dogleg left fairway, then an approach shot to a green framed by mature trees. At times, the scenery is breathtaking because many holes provide beautiful views of Lake Michigan. This course is the site of many historical buildings erected around the turn of the century.

This rolling course is situated on 215 acres of wooded marshland and includes more than 100 acres of lakes. The fairways vary in width from narrow to generous, and the well-undulating greens were designed to provide a challenge with their subtle breaks. The spirit of the course is captured on hole 5, a 239-yard, par 3, which demands an accurate tee shot and plays over marshland to a wood-lined green.

This course is in outstanding condition. The fairways are lined with mature trees, and the sloped greens are difficult to read. Ken Killian and Dick Nugent redesigned this course in 1977, followed by Bob Lohmann in 1989. There is a golf learning center located two miles away from the course that is managed by the park district.

This course, built in a forest preserve, is one of twelve Audubon Society (Signature Courses) in the United States. The fairways are generously-sized, which is good, since they transition suddenly to very thick native area. Large, undulated fairways afford a wide variety of challenging pin placements. Hole 16, a 578-yard, par 5, features a double fairway bordered by water on the right, and bunkers on the left. The well-protected green is tucked back right, demanding an accurate approach.

This club offers two eighteen hole courses. These courses are strictly for the use of the club members and their guests. Both of these courses have many sand bunkers, several water hazards, and plenty of trees incorporated into their designs. The Red Course, predominantly used by the men, is the longer and more challenging course. The White Course is mainly played by the ladies, but men can play it if they wish. Larry Packard redesigned the White Course in 1966, and Ken Killian and Dick Nugent redesigned the Red Course in the 1970's.

This course, which has been ranked as one of the top ten nine hole courses in the Chicago land area, features narrow fairways and small greens. The terrain is rolling, and a creek comes into play on seven holes. Dick Nugent redesigned the course a few years after it originally opened. Senior discounts are available on weekdays only. A new clubhouse was constructed in 1996 and cart paths were added in 1997.

This course is nestled just outside of Chicago. The spacious layout is favored by locals for its long tees and fast greens. Water hazards come into play on nine holes. The signature hole is 4, a 172-yard, par 3, which is nestled in the middle of the course with a steep drop off from the tee to the pin.

This fairly flat course is well bunkered and has relatively small greens. The fairways are generous, and water hazards come into play on seven holes. The signature hole is 7, a 144-yard, par 3, which requires a shot from a three-tiered tee box over a lake to a two-tiered green that is heavily bunkered and framed by willow trees.
