Golf in Woodstock

Woodstock is a city in McHenry County, set in Chicago's northwest exurbs and serving as the county seat. Known for its picturesque historic square, the city retains a distinctive, settled character amid the surrounding countryside, where farmland still meets residential growth. The terrain here is the open and wooded ground of the Fox River valley region, and Woodstock's older town center gives it a sense of permanence uncommon in the busier exurbs. Its location places it in the heart of McHenry County, well northwest of the city. Golf is well represented, ranging from a private club to public-access courses set on the open and wooded ground of the area. For golfers, Woodstock offers a varied set of rounds within one of the more characterful communities of the northwest exurbs, where the city's historic square and the surrounding Fox River valley countryside define the setting.
