Description

The Fairways of Illinois Make a Superb Address.

Some of the finest country club living in America can be found in the suburbs of Chicago and along the Illinois border with Wisconsin.

Giant hickories and oaks shade gently rolling fairways laid out by great course designers, including Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Tom Fazio and Arnold Palmer. Tennis and swimming and even snowshoeing in winter are available. Some clubs are even the setting for cross-country hunt clubs. Some of the most prominent business leaders in the nation live in these gated communities. CountryClubs.com can help you choose the perfect private club and home here.

Live where you play — country clubs and golf communities are everywhere
