Golf in Vernon Hills

Vernon Hills is a village in Lake County, a planned suburb set in the central part of the county northwest of Chicago's lakefront communities. Developed largely in the late twentieth century, the village grew quickly into a busy residential and commercial center, known for its shopping districts and master-planned neighborhoods. The terrain here is the gently worked ground typical of central Lake County, with stretches of open and wooded land threading the development. Vernon Hills' central location has made it a hub for the surrounding area. Golf is well represented, ranging from a park district course to a daily-fee layout built on open prairie-style ground. For golfers, Vernon Hills offers recreational rounds within a fast-growing, planned suburban community in central Lake County, where the park district and public-access courses provide open ground amid the shopping and neighborhoods that define the village.
