Golf in Bartlett

Bartlett is a DuPage County suburb that grew rapidly during the 1980s and 1990s as residential development reached westward from the older Cook County suburbs. The community's eastern edge touches Cook County, and Bartlett Hills Golf Club serves a catchment area that includes residents from both counties. The flat-to-gently-rolling terrain of this part of DuPage County reflects the glacial outwash plain that underlies most of northeastern Illinois, modified by the retention ponds and berms characteristic of suburban development-era landscaping. The community's golf culture reflects the midwestern combination of practicality and recreation, where courses are built and maintained with community investment and the straightforward purpose of providing quality sport for working families.
