Course Intelligence
Course Character
The Glen Club’s signature is its transformed landscape: a formerly flat air-station site has been reshaped with rolling berms, elevation changes, prairie grass, mature trees and water. The result is a visually open yet strategically framed course with a strong sense of place. The Glen Club is a Tom Fazio-designed course in Glenview built across the former Glenview Naval Air Station. Dramatic elevation shifts, mature foliage, natural habitats, prairie grass, lakes and streams create a highly engineered but natural-looking Chicago-area landscape.
