About Winnetka Golf Club

Winnetka Golf Club is a highly regarded public facility operated by the Winnetka Park District, situated in one of the most affluent communities on Chicago's North Shore. The 18-hole regulation course winds through mature trees and landscaped terrain that reflects the character of this prestigious lakeside suburb, offering golfers a genuine parkland experience just minutes from Lake Michigan. The layout challenges players of all abilities with tree-lined fairways, strategically contoured greens, and a routing that demands thoughtful course management. As one of the few public-access courses in Winnetka — a village dominated by elite private clubs — Winnetka Golf Club is a treasured community asset that draws steady play from local residents and North Shore golfers alike. The park district's management ensures quality conditioning throughout the Illinois golf season, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it a social hub for the community. High demand from the surrounding affluent suburbs means this course fills up quickly, particularly on weekends.

History

Winnetka Golf Club has been a cherished Winnetka Park District institution for over a century, serving the community since the early 1900s. Situated in a village renowned for its private clubs and lakeside estates, the park district course has long provided a democratic golfing option for residents and visitors alike, maintaining the natural parkland character that defines North Shore golf.
