Golf in Johnsburg

Johnsburg is a village in McHenry County, at the northern edge of the Chain O'Lakes region in Chicago's far northwest exurbs. The nearby Fox River and the chain of interconnected lakes give the area a landscape defined by water, woodland, and recreation. Settled by German immigrants in the nineteenth century, Johnsburg retains a measure of its small-town character even as the surrounding county has grown. It lies well beyond the dense suburbs, in the exurban belt where farmland still meets the lakes that draw boaters and anglers through the warm months. Golf here is tied to the surrounding lake communities, with a country club set amid the woods and water that define this corner of the county. For golfers, Johnsburg offers a round in one of the more scenic recreational stretches of the northwest metro.
