Golf in Inverness

Inverness is an affluent Cook County village that has maintained its estate-lot character through a combination of deliberate zoning and a clear community preference for the rural residential aesthetic that drew its original settlers. Large lots, preserved woodlands, equestrian properties, and minimal commercial development give Inverness a character that feels categorically different from the denser suburbs immediately to the east along the I-90 corridor. Highland Woods Golf Course and Inverness Golf Club both reflect this community's expectation that recreational amenities should complement rather than disrupt the quiet, spacious character of the village. The surrounding community's investment in recreational infrastructure reflects the Illinois tradition of municipal and private facilities working together to sustain accessible, quality golf for residents across the income spectrum.
