Luxurious golf course community in suburban Chicagoland

Golf course views, refined social amenities and comforting privacy characterize the Hawthorn Woods Country Club area, a semi-gated community with recently built homes on the northwest side of Chicago’s suburban landscape.
While the area’s a prime choice for quiet, luxurious living and connecting with neighbors, locals are surprisingly close to shopping, dining and entertainment options in nearby villages. “The people who choose to live here are the ones who really embrace the lifestyle. Every time you stop by the clubhouse, you’ll run into somebody you know,” says Maria Etling, a broker with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Chicago and a 38-year resident of the area.

Walking distance to an Arnold Palmer championship golf course

The Hawthorn Woods Country Club lends the community its name and acts as a major social hub for area residents. Amenities include an Arnold Palmer-designed championship golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, and a pool designed for all-ages leisure. Locals living on the country club’s property are required to maintain a membership, and residents in neighboring subdivisions can also join at their discretion. "It's a lifestyle vs. just a neighborhood. It's what I'd consider a very active community," says Kim Alden, a licensed real estate broker with the Kim Alden Team at Compass. Alden has sold homes in the upper Chicagoland area for almost 20 years. Additional choices for outdoor leisure nearby include neighborhood parks such as Meadowlark Park and Countryside Park. Close to the area’s south end, Heritage Oaks Park provides 45 acres of recreational space, including walking trails, baseball and softball fields and a playground.

Community gatherings and local festivals in Mundelein and Lake Zurich

Hawthorn Woods residents can enjoy outings on the country club grounds and in neighboring villages such as Lake Zurich and Mundelein. Events at the country club include annual Easter egg hunts, pool parties for Labor Day weekend and periodic wine dinners featuring curated menus. Members of the club can also rent the clubhouse for personal events, like weddings and baby showers. Southwest of the neighborhood in Lake Zurich, Copper Fiddle Distillery is a cocktail bar that hosts weekly open mic nights. Locals can also stop by Paulus Park in the summer for food truck socials and farmers markets. To the east in Mundelein, annual celebrations include the Mundelein Craft Beer Festival and the Community Days festival in the summertime, the Arts Festival in the fall and Winterfest celebrations during the holiday season.
