Bonnie Brook Golf Course

About
Bonnie Brook Golf Course, known amongst locals as simply "The Brook," is one of the most popular public courses on the North Shore. It has even been ranked as one of the top 50 public golf courses in the Chicagoland area. Designed in 1926 by James Foulis, the course has a classic feel to it with challenges that have withstood the test of time. The layout sprawls across a scenic natural landscape accented with gently rolling hills, tall native grasses, and sparkling lakes. The north branch of the Waukegan River also meanders through part of the golf course. The Bonnie Brook layout offers enough of a challenge for advanced players with narrow, tree-lined fairways and subtly tricky undulations throughout the spacious greens, but it is a round that is player friendly enough for any skill level to enjoy.

Excellent course. Great layout and quality conditions
Great golf course 👍
Had a great time playing at this golf course. After playing 18 holes went to washroom and during washing my hands and face accidentally I dropped my necklace which I realized after reaching home. I called next day and golf shop person went to washroom and found it. He kept it in the envelope with my name. I went there and got it back my precious necklace which my mother had given me before she passed away while back. I really appreciate and thank you the staff. Rohit Parekh 🙏
Best golf course in Northern zillinois
Course is in great condition. Extremely fast green and well maintained fairways.
fun course!
Fun course. Pretty open and not very long. Very enjoyable
Always enjoy it
Bonnie Brook is one of the most enjoyable courses in the north suburbs. It’s always in excellent condition, and the layout is interesting, challenging, and fair. No frills, all fun.
Slow play
Labor day course was overcrowded with slow moving groups. Round took well over 5 hours - a very poor experience.
Great condition
This course is the best public golf course in the northern suburbs. Extremely well taken care of; kudos to the maintenance staff for keeping the course in great condition especially late in the season. Challenging golf course for all levels.
Old School parkland course
There are abundant trees on this old course which is always kept in good condition. There is a small amount of water and average number of sand traps. I always enjoy playing this course. Despite a high amount of rain recently we were still able to take carts on the course.
