Golf in Cary

Cary sits on the Fox River in McHenry County, one of a chain of Fox River communities connected by the Union Pacific Northwest commuter line to downtown Chicago. The river's east bank is wooded and gently bluffed through this stretch, giving the Cary area a more naturalistic character than its suburban counterparts to the south and east. Cary Country Club reflects the community's long history as a place where Chicago-area professionals have settled, bringing with them the expectation of private recreational amenities within a short drive of home. Illinois' strong community tradition and the state's extensive park and recreation system create the context for golf clubs that serve as social anchors alongside the natural and civic amenities of community life.
