Pine Meadow Golf Club

Pine Meadow Golf Club sits in Mundelein, a northwest suburb of Chicago in Lake County, Illinois. The course was designed by Joe Lee, a prolific architect who shaped numerous layouts across the United States from the 1950s through the 1980s, often working in Florida but taking commissions throughout the country. Rocky Roquemore, who collaborated with Lee on various projects and later established his own practice, also contributed to the design. The course reflects the partnership's approach to creating playable yet challenging golf within the rolling terrain characteristic of the northern Illinois landscape. The property features tree-lined fairways and water hazards that come into play on several holes, typical of parkland courses in the Chicago suburbs. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes, modest by regional standards but sufficient to add variety and strategic interest to the round. Lee's design philosophy generally emphasized accessibility for members while incorporating enough difficulty to test accomplished players, and Pine Meadow follows this template with a balance of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward holes. Pine Meadow functions as a private club serving the Mundelein area and surrounding communities. The facility offers traditional country club amenities including dining and social programming alongside its golf operations. The course provides a year-round home course for its membership when Illinois weather permits, typically from April through October or early November.
