Golf in Harvard

Harvard is McHenry County's northernmost city, sitting just south of the Wisconsin border in flat dairy country that gave the community its historical agricultural identity. The city's self-promotion as the 'Milk Capital of the World' reflects an economic past now replaced by a mix of light manufacturing, commuting, and agricultural services. Oak Grove Golf Course serves a city that functions as a regional center for a broad, thinly populated rural territory in the uppermost reaches of Illinois. 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.
