Winnetka Golf Club

Just 25 minutes from downtown Chicago, Winnetka Golf Club sits on the eastern edge of the Cook County Forest Preserve, delivering a premier public golf experience in Chicagoland. The 18-hole, par-71 layout plays 6,517 yards with a 130 slope and 72.6 rating, offering a storied test for players of all levels. Originally laid out by Langford in 1914, this classic course features tree-lined fairways and small, severely undulating greens that reward precise shot-making and a deft short game. Even though it's public, the course presents standout challenges: the 78-yard third hole, the 166-yard fifth, and the 220-yard ninth demand thoughtful club decisions and creativity around the greens. From the serene setting along the forest preserve boundary to the welcoming Winnetka clubhouse, the course blends historic charm with modern playability. It’s a great place for beginners to learn and for lower handicappers to sharpen their short game, all within easy reach of Chicago. Book your round with GolfWithBrio today.
