Golf in Hartland

Hartland is an unincorporated McHenry County community in the county's rural western reaches, near the Boone County border, where the agricultural character of northern Illinois remains largely intact. Plum Tree Country Club serves the modest local golf population in this low-density corner of the county, occupying open land that the community's rural zoning has kept from more intensive development. The golf course complements the community's broader recreational infrastructure, providing year-round social and athletic amenities for residents who value quality of life in Illinois' diverse suburban and rural communities. The surrounding community reflects the strong midwestern tradition of civic investment in recreational infrastructure that has sustained Illinois golf across a century of economic and social change.
