Willow Hill Golf Course
About Willow Hill Golf Course
Willow Hill Golf Course in Northbrook is a nine-hole layout playing to a par of 35 and measuring more than 3,000 yards from the back tees. It was designed by Tim and Dick Nugent, opened in 1995, and received a significant upgrade in 2019.
The course is built around bunkered and mounded green complexes, with elevation changes that place a premium on shotmaking. Its hilltop position opens up wide views of the surrounding area, including the Chicago skyline. Practice options include a large grass driving range. Rental clubs are not available, so golfers must bring their own set.
