Golf in Niles

Niles is a village in Cook County, a near-north suburb just outside Chicago's city limits. Largely residential and commercial, it grew through the twentieth century into a busy, fully developed inner suburb, known in part for its mid-century landmarks. The village retains the close-knit, heavily built character of the near-north area, where open green space is scarce amid the surrounding development. Niles sits within easy reach of both the city and the wider northern suburbs. Golf here is set at a course with a long competitive history, once part of a larger entertainment complex and now operating as a public-access course within the densely built suburb. For golfers, Niles offers an accessible recreational round close to the city, in a community where the surrounding development makes such stretches of green a notable feature of the inner northwest landscape.
