Golf in Bull Valley

Bull Valley is a small McHenry County municipality that incorporated primarily to maintain residential character and avoid annexation into neighboring communities with more permissive zoning. The village's large lot requirements have preserved open space and rural character unusual for a community this close to Chicago's suburban orbit. Boone Creek Golf Course occupies one of the more naturally intact settings in McHenry County, benefiting from the creek corridor's topographic variation and the undeveloped buffers that Bull Valley's land-use policies have kept intact. Illinois' changing seasons create an enthusiastic golf community that maximizes every available day of good weather, sustaining the local course as a central gathering point through the compressed but celebrated Midwest golf season.
