Golf in North Chicago

North Chicago is a city in Lake County, set on the Lake Michigan shore north of Chicago. Shaped by its lakefront and its long association with the nearby naval station, the city has a working character distinct from the affluent North Shore suburbs to the south. It grew through the twentieth century around its industries and the military presence, developing a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial districts. The lakefront and the gently worked ground inland define the local landscape. Golf here is set at a park district course inland from the shore, offering recreational rounds to the community. For golfers, North Chicago provides an accessible round on the Lake County shore, in a city whose character is shaped by its lakefront setting and its place within the broader stretch of communities that line Lake Michigan north of the city.
