NORTHMOOR COUNTRY CLUB

The Donald Ross routing through Highland Park's mature hardwood corridors demands precision over power, with elevation changes that turn mid-irons into scoring clubs on several key holes. Ross's strategic bunkering remains largely intact, particularly the cross-hazards that guard the par-4 6th and 12th, where aggressive lines tempt members into disaster. The greens run true but break subtly toward Lake Michigan, rewarding locals who've learned to read the northern Illinois terrain's gentle but persistent slopes.
