Golf in Zion

Zion is a city in Lake County, set on the Lake Michigan shore near the Wisconsin border in the far northern reaches of the county. Founded in the early twentieth century as a planned religious community, the city retains a distinctive history and street layout, set on the lakefront north of the affluent North Shore suburbs. The lakefront and the gently worked ground inland define the local landscape. Zion's location near the state line places it at the northern edge of the county's communities. Golf here includes a county-operated course and a park district layout, both set inland from the shore among the city's neighborhoods. For golfers, Zion offers accessible rounds on the far-northern Lake County shore, set near the Wisconsin border in a city shaped by its distinctive planned history and its lakefront setting north of the city.
