Founded in 1924, located on 240 rolling acres in Lake Forest, Illinois, Knollwood Club is one of the premier country clubs in Illinois. Members and guests alike enjoy our wide array of traditionally elegant facilities. The centerpiece of the Club is the H.S. Colt and C.H. Alison designed golf course, chosen several times as a championship level course for USGA and PGA events. The members of Knollwood Club also enjoy a full calendar of dining and social events, active racquets and swimming programs, as well as wintertime skeet shooting and cross country skiing. We invite you to further explore our website, and experience the Knollwood tradition.
Our golf course is the showpiece of our Club and the center of activity. It is a source of great pride and enjoyment for our members and we are very pleased to share it with our guests. As one of the top family Clubs in Chicagoland, we are excited to host you.
