Golf in Lincolnwood

Lincolnwood is a village in Cook County, a densely built inner suburb just north of Chicago's city limits. Largely residential, it grew through the mid-twentieth century into a compact community of established neighborhoods, with commercial corridors threading its edges. Surrounded on most sides by the city and other inner suburbs, Lincolnwood has the close-knit, fully developed character typical of the near-north area, where open green space is at a premium. Despite its density, the village is home to a private country club whose grounds provide a notable stretch of green within the built-up landscape. For golfers, Lincolnwood offers a members' course set unusually close to the city, in a suburb where the surrounding development makes such open ground a rarity. The village's location places it within easy reach of both Chicago and the wider northern suburbs.
