About Golf
Tucked about 17 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, Golf is a tiny, peaceful North Shore enclave with a charming backstory. The village originally sprang up around a train stop built for players heading to the historic Glen View Club, and that easy connection to the city remains a huge perk for residents today. With its quiet, tree-lined streets, historic homes, and pocket-sized footprint of roughly half a square mile, it offers a secluded, tight-knit neighborhood feel with a direct Metra ride straight into the Loop.
