The best-conditioned golf courses in Lake Forest, Illinois

“Played pre-renovation. Course was tough parkland course. Tight, trees, rough, length, water etc. Par 3s were a bit repetitive which has since been changed. Holes 7-11 all felt the same.”

“Conway Farms definitely gives off that big time feel the second you pull up to bag drop. The staff was awesome — super friendly and welcoming right from the start.”

“Seth Raynor did his magic laying out this course while not placing a single hole on Lake Michigan. Holes 10-15 is one of the best stretches of holes you’ll find anywhere and the greens are lightning with much undulation. Any day at Shoreacres is a magical day.”

“It's open off the tee, but the green complexes are challenging and provide a defense for the course. Conditioning is always fantastic and the greens are generally the star of the show. Different winds provide different challenges. Back is harder than the front, especially the par 3s.”

“Great conditions with a truly unique and exciting layout. No range but new putting green is right next to beautiful patio that overlooks the course with easy sight lines to the ninth and 18th greens.”
