Golf in Skokie

Skokie is a village in Cook County, a large, densely built inner suburb set just north of Chicago's city limits. Largely residential and commercial, it grew through the twentieth century into one of the more populous communities of the near-north area, with established neighborhoods and busy commercial corridors. The village has the close-knit, fully developed character typical of the inner suburbs, where open green space is at a premium amid the surrounding density. Skokie sits within easy reach of both the city and the wider northern suburbs. Golf here includes a private club, despite its name set within Skokie, and a shorter park district course. For golfers, Skokie offers rounds in a heavily built inner suburb where the surrounding development makes such stretches of green a notable feature, from a members' club to an accessible park district layout near the city.
