Highland Park sits on the North Shore of Lake Michigan, one of Chicago's most storied suburban corridors, where the landscape rolls off the ancient glacial moraines in a way that gives golf course architects genuinely interesting raw material to work with. Sunset Valley has been the city's public golf anchor for decades, a municipal layout that serves a community with real golf pedigree — the North Shore has produced serious players and serious courses for well over a century.
What distinguishes a well-run municipal like this from a generic daily-fee track is its relationship with the people who play it. Regulars know every bounce, every shelf on every green, every morning when the fog off the lake burns away just in time for a 7 a.m. tee time. Par 72 gives the routing room to breathe, mixing longer tests with shorter holes that reward shot-making over raw power.
For visitors, Highland Park itself is worth the trip — close enough to Chicago to combine with a city visit, yet genuinely suburban in feel, with mature tree cover and terrain that keeps the golf interesting from first hole to last.
