Although Wheeling Illinois has only one golf course, Chevy Chase, I have a compiled a list of nearby wonderful golf courses.
Besides Real Estate, I can honestly say that golf is my passion. When you work 12 hours a day like I do, the phone constantly ringing, it's necessary to give yourself time for a hobby or an outlet. Outlet malls are good... but for me golf is my favorite kind of outlet.
Golf is the time that I'm able to spend time as close to nature as possible. I can experience lush green grass, beautiful flowers, trees, and wildlife. While golfing, I have seen everything from herons to llamas, and coyotes as well as a goose giving birth on the golf course. Golf is the time I can laugh with my friends, and spend quality time with my husband. Golf is also the time I can be without a phone, Lastly, golf is the time I even get some level of exercise and have fun doing it.
The game is both challenging and frustrating at the same time. If you get to know me, you will know that I love challenges. Just like I enjoy finding the perfect home for each of my clients or selling a home in the shortest amount of time for the highest price, I love the challenge to develop the perfect, consistent swing. Unfortunately I'm far from that level now.
For those of us who live in Buffalo Grove, Long Grove or a contiguous suburb, there are so many excellent courses to play golf within a 15 minute drive. Although we have such a short golf season, its fun while it lasts. Golfers from Chicago appreciate every day the sun is shining and the temperature is greater than 62 degrees.
I have a compiled a list of golf courses in the Northwest Suburbs within 30 minutes from Buffalo Grove.

The Arboretum Club is located at 401 Half Day Road in Buffalo Grove. The course is lushly landscaped. It is approximately 100 acres of rolling fairways, large varieties of trees and wildflowers. My only advice when you play this course is to bring a lot of balls- there are a lot of water holes.
