Located on Chicago's North Shore, just 20 minutes from downtown Chicago, Wilmette Golf Club is the best public golf course challenge in the area! While Wilmette Golf Club's total yardage is only less than 6,400 from the back tees, it plays to much greater length. The short par 4's and the fact that there are only two par 5's in this par 70 track make Wilmette play like a championship layout. Add to that the narrow fairways and the quick doglegs throughout the course and you're facing a real challenge of skill and an even more daunting challenge of golf course management. Nowhere is that more evident than on 14, a very short par 4. With OB and tight trees right and strategically placed bunkering, 14 could--and should--be played long-iron wedge! But feed the ego, pull the driver, and let her rip and you're soon hitting three from the tee with a good chance at double. The entire golf course is set up to be a test in patience and decision-making ability. There's just enough water and bunkering to force some honest approach shots which means intelligent club selection from the tee is a must. Stray just a bit from the fairway and Wilmette can stymie you. The very mature, stately oak and elm trees encroach very close to the narrow fairways. If you give yourself the chance and reach in regulation, birdies can be had! These are some of the most receptive, truest and fastest greens in the area and could be one of the most distinguishing aspects of golf at Wilmette. Once you get your ball rolling on line here, it stays on line making putting Wilmette greens an absolute joy! Wilmette does offer five different sets of tees to test all abilities. The black tees are the longest and measure 6,363 yards and carry a 70.8 rating with a slope of 128. The white tees the shortest set and measure only 4,668 yards with a rating of 67.5 and a slope of 118 for ladies. It's easy to see that Wilmette Golf Club adjusts to fit all players.
