Wilmette Golf Club

Wilmette Golf Club is a public municipal course located on Chicago's North Shore, approximately 20 minutes from downtown Chicago. The par 70 layout measures just under 6,400 yards from the back tees but plays considerably longer due to its design characteristics. The course features only two par 5s and several short par 4s, creating a championship-style challenge despite modest yardage.

The layout emphasizes precision and strategic positioning, with tight fairways and undulating greens that demand accurate approach shots. The course accommodates all skill levels while rewarding thoughtful play. In 2022, a continuous cart path was installed to allow daily riding options.

Wilmette Golf Club offers additional amenities including a full-service driving range with mat practice areas and a dedicated chipping/short game facility. The on-site Lawn Grill and Bar restaurant serves year-round. The facility operates as both a public course and membership club, with membership opportunities available. The course is well-maintained and designed to be walkable for those preferring to play on foot.
