Golf in Worth

Worth is a southwestern Cook County village in the corridor between Oak Lawn and Palos Hills where the suburban grid gives way to slightly more varied terrain as the Palos region's topography begins to assert itself. The village serves a working-class and middle-income residential community, and Water's Edge Golf Club and Palos Hills Golf Club both serve a local market that values accessible recreational golf without the premium pricing associated with the private clubs in the adjacent Palos Park and Orland Park communities. Illinois' position as a crossroads state — linking the Great Lakes to the Mississippi, the industrial north to the agricultural south — creates diverse communities where golf serves as common ground across the state's varied economic landscapes.
