INVERNESS GOLF CLUB

The rolling prairie terrain northwest of Chicago serves up genuine strategic golf on this mature parkland layout that refuses to coddle weekend hackers. Towering oaks and maples frame generous fairways that tighten considerably around multi-tiered greens protected by well-placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes that reward local knowledge. What separates this daily-fee gem from the pack is its commitment to firm, fast conditions and pin positions that demand approach shots to the correct portion of each putting surface.
