About Highland Woods Golf Course

Highland Woods Golf Course in Hoffman Estates is a Cook County Forest Preserve District facility set within the Highland Woods nature area, offering one of the northwest suburbs' most scenic and well-integrated parkland golf experiences. The course winds through natural woodland corridors along North Ela Road, with mature trees, natural wetlands, and strategic elevation changes that create a genuine championship-caliber challenge in a preserve setting. As a Forest Preserve course, Highland Woods is managed to high environmental and conditioning standards while remaining accessible at public pricing. The course draws significant northwest suburban demand from Hoffman Estates, Palatine, and surrounding communities, and weekend tee times are consistently competitive.
