Golf in Antioch

Antioch is Lake County's northernmost substantial community, sitting just south of the Wisconsin state line in a landscape defined by glacial lakes, wetlands, and modest topographic variation. The Chain O'Lakes region begins near Antioch's southern boundary, and the mix of lake recreation and natural open space gives the community a resort-casual atmosphere distinct from the more manicured suburbs to the south. Antioch Golf Club occupies a place in this recreational ecology alongside marinas, bait shops, and fish camps — establishments that signal a corner of Illinois where the outdoor calendar extends well beyond golf. Antioch draws visitors from Milwaukee and Chicago who seek the lake district without traveling further north into Wisconsin.
