Golf in Morton Grove

Morton Grove is a village in Cook County, a near-north suburb just outside Chicago's city limits. Largely residential, it grew through the twentieth century into a compact, established community along the North Branch corridor north of the city. The village retains the close-knit, fully developed character of the inner suburbs, with the forest preserve land along the river providing a welcome stretch of open green amid the surrounding development. Morton Grove's location places it within easy reach of both the city and the wider northern suburbs. Golf here is set within the Cook County forest preserve system, on woodland and open ground near the North Branch. The course carries the name of a celebrated amateur golfer with ties to the region. For golfers, Morton Grove offers an accessible recreational round in a densely built inner suburb where preserve land makes such open ground possible.
