Chicago Golf Guides

North Carolina's Outer Banks golf has quickly become one of the premier destinations on the east coast. Located at the top of North Carolina's barrier islands, the Outer Banks divides the Atlantic Ocean from the Currituck Sound. With so many holes along the waters completely surrounding the Outer Banks, it's hard to imagine a more picturesque and exciting place to tee it up. Couple this with 130 miles of the wildest, most natural and undeveloped beaches in the country and you have the perfect getaway.

First opened in 1925, Lake Lawn's championship golf course - headed by Head Golf Professional Dan Plens - is one of the Midwest's premier golf destinations. Set amid 275 lush, tree-lined acres, the course was masterfully re-engineered in 1990 by renowned architect Dick Nugent, and is best known for its stately oaks, deep sand bunkers and subtle undulations. Each hole is set with multiple tee boxes for players of all abilities. Lake Lawn's greens are often the topic of conversation in the 19th hole because of their undulation and many tiers.
