I don't know a ton in IL but thunderhawk was a good track the few times I've played over the last few years.

SE WI: the brute in lake Geneva, any of the Geneva national courses, or hawks view. Otherwise Morningstar will keep you near Milwaukee.

If you don't mind driving I know people love lawsonia (links), or the river at blackwolf run, the bull, sentry world, university ridge. There's a few good WI threads on here. Have fun

Wife and I are questing to play a course in all 50 states. Would prefer near Chicago as we are flying into there and then headed up to Gaylord, MI for a week.

 

What Illinois and Wisconsin Course to play?

Unfortunately will need a cart so I know it eliminates some.

 

What driving route are you taking up to Gaylord? Thru the UP or around the southern tip of Lake Michigan?

 

The route would matter on the course recommendation.

Around the tip of the lake. Thanks.

 

Cool. I would recommend looking at Lake Geneva then in WI. Just over the border, with a number of very good choices. ThunderHawk or Stonewall Orchard would be my recommendations in IL. North of O'Hare, on the way to WI.

If you just want to "hop in" and "hop out" of Wisconsin, you could play Brighton Dale in Kenosha. It's not as good as the Lake Geneva courses, but definitely a good play.

 

If you have time to travel into Wisconsin, you could play Brown Deer on the north side of Milwaukee. Brown Deer was the home of the old Greater Milwaukee Open. Otherwise, Washington County is a highly ranked course northwest of Milwaukee about 20 miles.

Do you have a budget? My choice in Illinois would be The Glen Club in the near north suburbs of Chicago. Current rates range from $105 to $195 (plus cart). Fall rates begin 9/25. Harborside International is on the south side of Chicago right off of I-94, and provides quick access to Indiana/Michigan.

 

The Brute (at Grand Geneva) would be my choice for a round in Wisconsin if you were simply looking to pop over the border. Otherwise I'd consider Brown Deer.

Budget is what matters most here. If you're looking to play a quality course that's cheap, I'll second Brighton Dale Links or Washington County. BDale is a 45 hole Kenosha County FP course while Washington County is an Arthur Hills course that's very close to Erin Hills at 1/10th the price. In Illinois, you can keep the budget golf theme alive with plenty of options off of 94. I'd recommend waiting until after 2:00, when you can play Thunderhawk for $39.

 

If price is no issue, I'd go with either Erin Hills or one of the many overpriced Pete Dye courses in Kohler, WI. In Illinois, Cog Hill #4 is nice as is Cantigny and the Glen Club, all three of which are over $100. The best courses in Illinois tend to be private country clubs though.
