Golf in Grayslake

Grayslake is a Lake County village sitting at the crossroads of Routes 83 and 45, with a history rooted in agriculture that remains visible in the flat farmland surrounding it. The College of Lake County's Grayslake Campus anchors the community's educational identity, while the area's standout golf draw is Stonewall Orchard Golf Club, an Arthur Hills design opened in 1999. The course has consistently ranked among Illinois's top daily-fee facilities, helped by elevation changes uncommon for this generally level terrain, giving the layout more contour and variety than its flat surroundings would suggest. For golfers, that combination of championship-caliber design and public access makes Grayslake a genuine destination rather than just a local stop. The agricultural heritage still frames the setting, but Stonewall Orchard has given the village a golf reputation that reaches well beyond Lake County, drawing players looking for a memorable round in the northern suburbs.
