About Wilmette Golf Club

Wilmette Golf Club is a beloved North Shore public course operated by the Wilmette Park District, sitting just a short drive from Lake Michigan in one of Chicago's most prestigious lakeside suburbs. Nestled within mature trees and well-kept parkland, the course is a favorite among North Shore residents who prize its convenient location and community atmosphere. The layout offers a genuine test of golf with tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, and enough length to challenge mid-handicappers while remaining enjoyable for recreational players. As a park district facility, Wilmette Golf Club provides an exceptional value proposition in a suburb better known for high-end private clubs. The combination of its desirable North Shore address, affordable green fees, and quality conditioning makes it one of the more sought-after tee times in the northern Chicago suburbs. Golfers from Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, and Evanston regularly compete for weekend slots, so planning ahead is essential for prime tee times.

History

Wilmette Golf Club has been a cornerstone of the Wilmette Park District's recreational offerings for generations, providing the North Shore community with quality public golf since the mid-20th century. The course has evolved through decades of care and improvement, maintaining the classic parkland character that has made it a local institution alongside the suburb's more exclusive private clubs.
