Golf in Crete

Crete is a Will County village on the far southern fringe of the Chicago suburban area where agricultural land and residential development coexist in a community that has retained a lower density than the suburbs to its north. The village sits near the Illinois–Indiana border in terrain shaped by the glacial moraines of the Kankakee region, giving it a slightly more varied landscape than the flat prairie of the county's interior. Lincolnshire Country Club, Lincoln Oaks Golf Course, and Balmoral Woods Country Club together make Crete an unexpected concentration of golf activity in this quiet corner of Will County. 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.
