Shepherd's Crook Golf Course

Shepherd’s Crook Golf Course is an 18-hole layout stretching 6,827 yards at par 71. The course plays long and does not include a driving range. At nearly 6,900 yards, it presents a demanding test off the back tees, particularly for players who rely on distance off the tee.

Zion is in far northeast Illinois in Lake County, close to the Wisconsin border and Lake Michigan. Shepherd’s Crook is priced at the luxury level. Big Oaks Golf Course and Shiloh Park Golf Course are nearby options. The Lake County area features gently rolling terrain and proximity to the lakeshore, and Zion’s position at the northern edge of the Chicago metro gives the course a slightly more open, less suburban feel than clubs farther south along the North Shore.
