Burnham Woods Golf Course

All the LADIES … that golf a lot, this might be for you too, Burnham Woods offers a ladies league just for you with both 9 & 18 hole options.
Beautiful Burnham Woods Golf Course was of course named after Chicago city-​structure stud Daniel Burnham, credited with developing the wonderful grid that makes me smile everytime I fly back into Chi-​town at night. Located in southeastern Cook County BWGC has some seriously tight greens, with a few streams (or lakes if you golfed April 2011), and a whole lot of giant cottonwoods (which I just found out I am still extremely allergic too). In addition, as most golf courses, they have a reasonable supply of items at the pro shop and some standard food items such as brats, hot dogs, beer, etc. I also noticed they had rental clubs which is worth mentioning if you have company in town and they want to get out for a few holes.
I have played this course twice and thoroughly enjoyed the play here. The course isnt over thought out which works perfectly since they had so much space to work with. Rather, you can really get to know your mid range irons and work on getting into a rhythm hole after hole as opposed to constantly moving to a different shot from hole to hole (ie, mid and long range fades and draws back-​to-​back can really break me down quickly). The greens arent perfect, but they are definitely helped out my the overall great shape of the remainder of the course including well groomed fairways. Its not my first choice, but it definitely woudlnt be my last either. If its close to you, golf it.
