Golf in Preston Heights

Preston Heights is an unincorporated Will County community in the western Joliet area where the suburban fringe of one of northeastern Illinois's largest cities gives way to the slightly more open terrain along the Des Plaines River corridor. The Joliet Country Club's historical presence here, now closed, reflects the tradition of private golf development in communities adjacent to industrial midsize cities — a tradition that has shifted in recent decades as the economics of private golf have changed across the region. The surrounding community's investment in recreational infrastructure reflects the Illinois tradition of municipal and private facilities working together to sustain accessible, quality golf for residents across the income spectrum.
