About Meadowlark Golf Course
Meadowlark is a nine-hole course in Hinsdale, in Chicago's western suburbs, within easy reach of Oak Brook, La Grange and Downers Grove. The layout measures 3,404 yards and plays to a length that gives a full-course feel in half the holes.
The routing includes two par 5s and two long par 3s, with the 563-yard 6th standing out as the course's biggest test of distance. Trees line the property throughout, and as part of the Cook County Forest Preserve system, the setting is a natural one where wildlife sightings are common.
