About Deerpath Golf Course

Deerpath Golf Course is a beloved municipal layout nestled inside Lake Forest, one of the North Shore's most exclusive communities. Situated along West Deerpath Road, the course offers a genuine parkland experience with old-growth trees, natural creek features, and well-manicured conditions that reflect the high standards of its affluent surrounding community. The course is relatively short by modern standards but plays more challenging than its scorecard suggests due to tight tree-framed fairways and tricky green complexes. Lake Forest residents enjoy preferred booking access, making it very competitive for outside play on weekends. Deerpath is a cherished local gem that punches well above its weight in terms of conditions and atmosphere, offering a slice of North Shore exclusivity at public golf prices.

History

Deerpath Golf Course has served Lake Forest as a municipal golf facility for many decades, providing residents of one of Chicago's most prestigious North Shore communities with quality public access. The course has been maintained to high standards consistent with Lake Forest's community identity, and periodic renovations have kept conditions in line with area expectations.
