Golf in Mundelein

Mundelein is a village in Lake County, set in the central part of the county northwest of Chicago's lakefront suburbs. The surrounding terrain is shaped by woodland and small lakes that break up the gently shaped ground, lending the area a green, low-density feel. Mundelein grew steadily through the twentieth century from a small community into a busy residential suburb while keeping pockets of open land. Its central location in the county has made it a hub for the surrounding towns. Golf is a strong presence here, ranging from private clubs to daily-fee courses set on the wooded and open ground typical of the area. For golfers, Mundelein offers an unusually varied set of rounds within one community, from members' clubs to public-access layouts, all set in the central reaches of Lake County where woodland and water define the surrounding landscape.
