Description

Lake Bluff Golf Course offers a beautifully maintained parkland layout with tree-lined fairways and subtle elevation changes that make each hole distinct. Water hazards and bunkers come into play strategically, rewarding precision over brute strength. The greens are smooth and well-paced, offering a fair but engaging test. With its scenic setting near the lakefront, it provides a peaceful and enjoyable round. It's a longtime favorite among North Shore golfers.

The good the bad and the ugly. Good: The course is beautiful and was able to find a hot deal to play for 26 bucks with cart included on GolfNow app. Staff were friendly. Greens were fast, well kept, and pins were placed in fun positions. Bad: Tee boxes for par 3’s are atrocious as shown in picture. Either they are not rotating enough or the people (seemed like mostly high schoolers when I played) are tearing it up. Fairways can be a bit rough also seen in pictures, not everywhere but a serious eye sore. Ugly: Pace of play I would give negative stars. After playing courses in several states and in Canada, this ranks amongst the worst I’ve played at. As a single player in a cart it took me two and a half hours to get through 9 holes and it wasn’t because I suck. I’m not one to complain about waiting typically but, sheesh. There was zero golf etiquette at the time I played. No one letting a single play through on a cart, group of three taking 3-4 drives each still loosing there balls and dropping on each other duffing that shot mean while I’m doing my best to not play into them. Craziest part is that they were playing into other people…. Would I recommend? Yes, if you have 6 hours to kill and while getting board going ball hunting. As a traveler, I would suggest just going to Bonnie Brooks or Shepards Crook instead.

Haven't been to this course before but I really enjoyed my round. All of the workers were friendly and helpful. The course was a little tight in some areas as far as fairways being next to each other BUT, if you hit your ball correctly, you will be fine. Decent looking, well kept course hidden away from the community pretty well by trees and bushes. They still have room for a driving range and practice green. Nice oasis to enjoy a few hours!

Great course. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Tee boxes were a bit rough. The only complaint I have is the cart girl didn’t approach us once during our entire round. I would see her sitting around in fairways (maybe waiting for people to hit before moving in) but she was doing too much of it. When I brought it up to an employee he said I’m not management and didn’t offer to get anyone.

Played a quick impromptu 9 holes last Friday, and host pro Henry “ Hank” H went out of his way to make it one of the finest rounds I’ve shot in a long time. The LB front 9 played very well and the green’s accommodated my many attempts to break par.

What an improvement! I swore I’d never play here again after a bad experience (terrible conditions) 2 years ago. But I played on 7/25/25 and was pleasantly surprised. Greens were in great condition and well watered. Fairways had few bare spots. Grass and vegetation was well groomed. Friendly staff. Pace was good - even on a Friday. Excellent experience for a public course. I’ll be back!
