Wicker Memorial Park Golf Club

Wicker Memorial Park Golf Club sits in Highland, Indiana, a northwest Indiana community within the Chicago metropolitan area. The course was designed by Bob Lohmann, a regional architect active in the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The facility operates as a public course within the municipal park system, serving the recreational needs of Lake County and the surrounding region. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the glaciated plains of northwest Indiana. The course features tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes typical of parkland designs in this part of the state. Water features and strategic bunkering provide definition and challenge within the generally open landscape. The design emphasizes playability for a broad range of skill levels while maintaining enough interest for regular play by local golfers. As a municipal facility, Wicker Memorial Park functions as an accessible option for public golf in the heavily populated corridor between Gary and the Illinois state line. The course serves both casual recreational players and organized league play throughout the season. The park setting integrates the golf course with other community amenities, reflecting the traditional role of public courses in American municipal recreation systems.
