Golf in Long Grove

Long Grove is a village in Lake County, known across the metro for preserving its rural character and historic downtown in Chicago's northwest suburbs. The village has long limited dense development, favoring large lots, winding roads, and abundant tree cover that give it a distinctly countrylike feel amid the growing region. Its quaint village center, with shops set in historic buildings, has made it a destination, while its surrounding neighborhoods retain stretches of woodland and open space. This conservation-minded approach sets Long Grove apart from the denser suburbs nearby. Golf fits naturally into this setting, with private clubs occupying the wooded, gently shaped ground the community has worked to preserve. For golfers, Long Grove offers rounds in one of the leafier and more deliberately rural corners of the northwest metro, where open land and trees remain central to the village's identity.
