Cog Hill Golf & Country Club
This is one of the finest golf facilities in the Midwest. There are four courses on the facility and the finest is undoubtedly Dubsdread, which was used to host the Western Open through 2007 and now hosts the BMW Open. This is a course for top-level golfers. It requires very accurate shots as it is loaded with bunkers and the greens are undulating.

Seven Bridges Golf Club
Seven Bridges Golf Club is like playing two courses in one. The front nine is loaded with trees and woods and has very narrow fairways. You are best served by leaving your driver in the bag on a number of holes---including the first---and playing with fairway woods or irons. The back nine has a number of treacherous water holes. It's a very memorable course that rewards accurate hitters with birdie and par opportunities.

White Pines Golf Club
White Pines Golf Club is just about 10 minutes from O'Hare International Airport and 30 minutes from downtown Chicago. White Pines offers two courses---the east and west course. The signature hole is the 18th, a 463-yard par 4 that has narrow fairways and demands accuracy.
