Golf in McHenry

McHenry is a city in McHenry County, set on the Fox River near the Chain O'Lakes in Chicago's far northwest exurbs. The river and the nearby chain of interconnected lakes give the area a landscape defined by water and recreation, drawing boaters and anglers through the warm months. McHenry grew along the Fox River and remains tied to its waterways, blending an older river-town core with surrounding residential and commercial growth. As one of the larger communities in its part of the county, it serves as a hub for the surrounding lake towns. Golf here is anchored by a private country club set in the river-and-lake country that defines the area. For golfers, McHenry offers a round in one of the more water-oriented stretches of the northwest exurbs, where the Fox River and the Chain O'Lakes shape the surrounding landscape and the rhythm of the seasons.
