Golf in Lake Barrington

Lake Barrington is a village in Lake County, part of the affluent Barrington area in Chicago's northwest suburbs. The broader Barrington region is known across the metro for preserving large tracts of open space amid its estates, conservation districts, and equestrian properties. Lake Barrington shares that leafy, low-density character, with woodland and water threading through its neighborhoods. The village grew from rural countryside into a prosperous residential community while resisting the dense development that fills suburbs closer to the city. Golf is woven into the area's fabric here, from a course set within a lakeside residential community to another occupying the wooded ground typical of the region. For golfers, Lake Barrington offers rounds in one of the more carefully preserved corners of the northwest metro, where open space and trees remain the defining features of the landscape.
