About Water's Edge Golf Club
Water's Edge Golf Club is a par-72 course in Worth, Illinois, laid out around protected wetlands and stands of mature, canopy-grown trees. Bent grass covers the greens, tees and fairways, and natural grasses frame much of the property.
The combination of wetland areas and wooded surroundings gives the layout a secluded, natural character within the Chicago area.
