Palos Hills Municipal at Palos Hills Municipal Golf Club

Palos Hills Municipal Golf Club operates as a public facility in Palos Hills, a southwest suburb of Chicago. The course was designed by David Gill, a regional architect who worked on several municipal and daily-fee layouts in the Midwest during the mid-to-late twentieth century. As a municipal course, it serves the local community and visiting golfers seeking accessible public golf in the Chicago metropolitan area.

The property sits within the relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of suburban Cook County, though the Palos Hills area features slightly more topographic variation than much of the surrounding region due to its proximity to the Des Plaines River valley system and the Palos Forest Preserve lands. The course layout reflects typical municipal design priorities from its era: straightforward routing, manageable length for recreational players, and maintenance considerations suited to high-volume public play.

Palos Hills Municipal functions as a neighborhood course where local residents can walk on for rounds without the commitments of private club membership. The facility includes standard municipal amenities—a clubhouse with basic food service, a practice area, and a pro shop. Like many Chicago-area public courses, it sees steady play during the region's limited golf season and serves as an entry point for beginners while remaining accessible to players of all skill levels seeking convenient, affordable golf.
