Heritage Oaks Golf Club

About Heritage Oaks Golf Club

This Northbrook municipal track punches well above its weight for a public course, delivering solid conditioning and thoughtful design that keeps locals coming back. The layout makes excellent use of the relatively flat North Shore terrain, with strategic bunkering and mature trees framing most holes. What sets Heritage Oaks apart from other Chicago-area munis is the attention to detail in course maintenance – the greens roll true and the fairways are consistently well-groomed, which explains why it earns higher marks than courses twice the price. The walking-friendly routing and reasonable pace of play make this an ideal spot for a quick 18 after work or a leisurely weekend round. While it won't challenge scratch players the way some of the premium North Shore layouts do, Heritage Oaks offers honest golf without any gimmicky holes or awkward transitions. At this price point in one of the country's most expensive golf markets, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value within 30 minutes of downtown Chicago.
