Golf in Richmond

Richmond is a village in McHenry County, set at the northern edge of the county near the Wisconsin border in Chicago's far northwest exurbs. The surrounding country mixes farmland, woodland, and the lakes of the broader Chain O'Lakes region, lending the area a rural, recreation-minded character. Richmond grew as a small crossroads and market town and retains that feel, set well beyond the dense suburbs in the exurban belt of the far northwest. Its location near the state line places it among the rural communities of the county's northern reaches. Golf here is set at a country club amid the farmland and woodland that define the area. For golfers, Richmond offers a round in one of the more rural corners of the northwest exurbs, where farm country, woods, and the nearby lakes of the Chain O'Lakes region shape the surrounding landscape near the Wisconsin border.
