Golf in Oakwood Hills

Oakwood Hills is a small village in McHenry County, set near Crystal Lake in Chicago's northwest exurbs. The surrounding terrain is shaped by the woodland, small lakes, and gently worked ground of the Fox River valley, lending the area a green, low-density character. Oakwood Hills developed as a quiet residential community, retaining a measure of its wooded, semi-rural feel even as neighboring towns grew busier. Its setting amid the lakes and woods of the region distinguishes it from the denser suburbs to the east. Golf here is set on the wooded, gently shaped ground typical of the Fox River valley, offering recreational rounds amid the surrounding lakes and woodland. For golfers, Oakwood Hills provides a round in one of the leafier corners of the northwest exurbs, where the woods and water of the Crystal Lake area define the surrounding landscape.
