About this course

Twin Orchard Country Club's Red Course occupies rolling terrain in Long Grove, a village in the northern suburbs of Chicago. The course was designed by C. D. Wagstaff, a regional architect active in the Midwest during the mid-twentieth century. The property reflects the characteristic landscape of the area, with mature tree cover and gentle elevation changes that provide natural definition to the holes. The routing takes advantage of the site's wooded character, with fairways carved through established stands of hardwoods and conifers. Players encounter a mix of hole lengths and shapes, with strategic interest derived from the placement of trees, bunkers, and the natural contours of the land. The course requires accurate shot-making rather than exceptional length, rewarding those who can navigate the tree-lined corridors and manage the moderate elevation changes. Twin Orchard operates as a private club serving families in the northern Chicago suburbs. The club features multiple courses on the property, with the Red Course representing one component of the overall facility. The setting in Long Grove places it within a community known for preserving a semi-rural character despite proximity to the metropolitan area, and the course benefits from this relatively secluded environment while remaining accessible to members from the surrounding region.

Getting there

Twin Orchard Country Club sits nestled in the rolling terrain northwest of Chicago, accessible most directly via Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway International (MDW), each roughly 45 minutes to an hour from the club depending on traffic patterns across the metropolitan sprawl. For those arriving by private aircraft, Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) in Wheeling offers a considerably more intimate gateway, positioned just 20 minutes north of Long Grove and favored by members seeking to bypass the commercial terminals entirely. The drive from O'Hare traces a path through suburban Chicago before opening into the quieter, tree-lined roads of Long Grove, where the landscape gradually shifts from developed neighborhoods into the pastoral setting of DuPage County - a transition that culminates at Twin Orchard's gated entrance, where manicured grounds and the Illinois countryside signal arrival at one of the region's most distinguished private clubs.
