Lake Carroll Golf Course

Lake Carroll Golf Course is a Championship level golf course set amongst the rolling hills of northwest Illinois. Each hole was designed with four sets of tees to accommodate for all levels of play, with intelligently placed bunkers, expertly manicured fairways and large undulating and smooth greens. Our course winds through the natural landscape, with deer, fox and turkey all around, with no paralleling fairways, making Lake Carroll Golf Course feel like you are part of nature.

Ten years of updating to the tees, bunkers and several hole redesigns, Lake Carroll Golf Course is one of the best, most modern and up-to-date courses in northwest Illinois. The PGA professional staff has over 20 years’ experience, teaching customized golf lessons to all ages and skill levels. With 1000’s of students ranging from junior and adult, beginners to collegiate level players, we have experience with it all. The golf course also has one of the most robust tournament calendars as well, more than 50 yearly tournaments, with over 25 tournaments for members and their guests.

Equestrian

For our members with horses, Lake Carroll offers two equestrian areas.
Our main equine area is located behind the Leroy Hinkle Dam. It provides a hillside pasture for grazing with lean-tos for shelters and trees for shade for standard-sized horses. There’s a fence enclosure where owners can work with their horses for training purposes, as well as a separate area where miniature breeds are kept. An enclosed shelter is located by the pasture to keep the food and tack safe and secure.
