Valley Lo Club

Valley Lo Club features 18 holes at par 54, measuring just 2,249 yards. The par-54 figure means every hole is a par 3, creating a course built entirely around iron play, wedge control, and putting. No driving range is on the property. The all-par-3 format produces faster rounds than a traditional 18-hole layout.

The club is on Tanglewood Drive in Glenview, on Chicago’s North Shore. Priced at the economy level, it offers an unusual format in an area dominated by full-length private clubs. North Shore Country Club, The Glen Club, and Glenview Park Golf Club are all nearby. The par-3-only design makes Valley Lo a distinct option for players who want to sharpen their short game or fit 18 holes into a shorter window of time.
