About Nickol Knoll Golf Course

Nickol Knoll Golf Course is a Cook County Forest Preserve District course in Arlington Heights, operated as part of the extensive Cook County forest preserve public golf system. Located on North Kennicott Avenue, the course provides quality, affordable public golf to the dense northwest suburban population. Cook County Forest Preserve courses are among the most-played public facilities in the United States, given the massive Chicago metropolitan population they serve. Nickol Knoll's rolling terrain — modest by national standards but notable for Cook County — and mature tree canopy create a pleasant playing environment. The course name derives from the knolls and terrain undulations that distinguish it from strictly flat suburban layouts. Afternoon and twilight rates make this an exceptional value for regular suburban golfers.

History

Nickol Knoll Golf Course is part of Cook County's pioneering forest preserve golf system, which has provided public golf access to the Chicago metropolitan area for nearly a century. The Cook County Forest Preserve District began developing golf courses in the early 20th century to serve the rapidly expanding suburban population. Nickol Knoll reflects this tradition of quality, accessible public golf embedded within preserved natural landscapes.
