Shortest golf courses on record in Illinois

The 50 shortest golf courses on record in Illinois run from 1,921 yards at Glenview Prairie Club in Glenview to 6,201 yards. Many are par-3 or executive layouts — short by design, made for a quick round, beginners, or practice. They are drawn from the 239 Illinois courses with a reliable published yardage — 45% of the 533 listed here; the median across that group is 6,654 yards. The rest carry no published yardage, so a shorter course may not appear on this list.
