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.

Slow!!
We started before our time and our 3rd as on time. Pace was great then slowed at 5. Then we were 2 tees backed up at 6. And it got even slower after that! We made the turn and some how 6 carts went to the 10th tee in front of us and we asked the starter what the heck was going on! He was young and had no answer. After us complaining the new manager told the 12 to wait till we tee’d off. But it got even slower. They need some fairway bunkers and leave the second cut longer. They are removing so many trees that the difficulty is lessening!!! Just my 2 cents.

Love this course
Front nine is more forgiving and let’s get you in your groove before moving onto a tougher back 9 with a handful of short/tricky par 4’s. The greens are one a true test with a lot of slope. Conditions are always good. Good food in the bar and grill located in the clubhouse. Overall 4.3 out of 5 stars.

Nice course
Fun layout for all skill levels. Tree lined fairways for most of the course. But plenty of opportunities to make pars and birdie’s. Friendly environment for all levels of play. Greens are in great condition and and roll true. Can be challenging if you get above the whole as most greens slop back to front. Overall enjoyable course to play. Food and amenities are good and patio area is comfortable if you want to enjoy a beverage after.
