About
Situated on Chicago's scenic North Shore, Lake Bluff Golf Club has become a "must-play" destination in the area. First opened in 1968, the course has a classic layout with front and back nines that are very different. The front nine provides a gentle start. The terrain is mostly flat and the holes are straightforward. As you move onto Lake Bluff's back nine there is more up and down and consequently the challenges are greater. Don't get too comfortable on the first half of the golf course because you'll need your wits about you for the second. Trees line the narrow fairways and the tricky greens all slope in one direction or another. Accuracy is essential. Water doesn't come into play but the doglegs and strategically placed bunkers provide plenty of challenges.

Golfer Reviews
Overall Priced Right
The course was overall in great condition and very open to play even on errand tee shots. Priced right.
I played late afternoon around 5pm and noticed more juniors playing golf. Expect the pace of play to be a little slower than usual. Players should be reminded to fix their ball marks on the green.
Wet slog
The course had lots of standing water despite the fact that it hadn't rained all that much the day/night before. The rain precluded the grounds crew from mowing the greens, and between that and the heavy coat of cottonwood debris, the greens were super slow and hard to play. The fact that they were sending out a foursome every 7 minutes made it a very slow, more than 5 hours, and not so enjoyable round.
Nice location
Played here for years. Great location for our family,
It was just fine.
No ranger on the course. There were some bottlenecks to slow pace.
Also there was no beverage cart on the course or water availability.
Poor pace of play. Almost an hour behind at the turn.
Tee boxes are worn, poor pace of play, greens are very slow.
No sand in the bunkers.
