Golf in Glendale Heights

Glendale Heights is a DuPage County village with a notably younger and more diverse population than many of its neighbors. Incorporated in 1959 as Carol Stream Addition and later renamed, it grew with a housing stock dominated by apartments and townhomes rather than the single-family subdivisions typical of the county. For golfers, Glendale Lakes Golf Course provides accessible recreational play, built on a water-heavy layout where the course's lakes and hazards mirror the retention-pond landscape that shapes much of suburban DuPage development. The water features are a defining trait, giving the course its character and challenge while reflecting the engineered terrain of the surrounding suburbs. The result is an approachable local option well suited to casual rounds and newer players. Within a county known for its established clubs, Glendale Heights offers a more open, everyday kind of golf that fits the village's accessible, community-minded character.
