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.

Decent Course!
With 70 degree weather we decided to get a round in. Wanted to try Bonnie and it was was a good decision. The course was is good shape. The Greens were aerated recently but it really didn’t affect the putting. Pace a play was good. The layout was ok. Lots of holes really close to each other but not too bad. The price was great $35 for 18 and cart. We would ply again.

A wee Bonnie walk
Had been told that the greens were to be aerated Nov 3 but arrived to find they already had been. Overall , greens not a good as normal but not as bumpy as you'd think. Course was in great shape for as late in the year and number of rounds played there, Kudos to the course for their great maintenance efforts.
The wind was up so the course played longer and harder.
Good course to work the ball left and right on.
Really enjoy this track!

Wonderful Golf Course
Our first time at this course and surprisingly a great course. Course in great condition considering most other courseS are hard and dry. This course is absolutely fantastic! Greens in great condition. Perfect 18 holes with 2 par 6s in the front and 2 in the back. Challenging holes with trees on the left and right side of the fairways so best if you are able to hit straight down the fairway. Water comes into play In some of the holes. Impressive golf course.

Great course, awful pace, inattentive staff
Course was amazing. In great shape and loved the layout. Teed off at 330 and didnt finish. Finished 17 holes and drove back in the dark at 8. Pace was awful. Additionally we were told a bev cart was out but we never saw it once. Called pro shop on 5 (1.5 hours in) and they said "oh she should be out there". Also never saw a ranger to address slow play.
Hi u805355603, it's great to hear you enjoyed your round at the course. We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. We also apologize for the absence of the beverage cart. Thank you for the feedback. We will use your comments to improve course visits.
Wonderful round!
Full disclosure, I played well, so I’m sure I’m a little rosy eyed. But we teed off at 9:30 on a Saturday, and never waited to hit a shot. We were never pushed by the group behind us. Finished the round in less than 4 hours. Course was in excellent shape. Greens were very true, and ran well. Very good speed to make putts, but downhill putts can still be dangerous. Interesting layout, especially on the back. A ton of character. Staff was friendly and helpful. Friendly, attractive beverage cart girl. All in all, it was a fantastic round. I can’t wait to go back!
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, u2447649! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
