Golf in Winnetka

Winnetka is a village in Cook County, among the most affluent suburbs on Chicago's North Shore, set along the Lake Michigan shore north of the city. Known for its grand homes, lakefront, and carefully preserved parkland, the village grew through the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries into one of the wealthiest communities in the region. The wooded terrain and the nearby lakefront define the local landscape, with mature trees and estate-style neighborhoods lending the village a distinguished, settled character. Winnetka's location places it within easy reach of both the city and the lakefront communities. Golf here includes a private country club and a park district course, both set among the leafy neighborhoods that define the area. For golfers, Winnetka offers rounds in one of the most affluent North Shore suburbs, from a members' club to an accessible park district layout, in a setting of estates and parkland.
