It features one of the widest fairways

“Sleepy Hollow” — This long par 4
features two fairway bunkers to navigate
in the landing area that are blind to the
golfers from the tee. Players’ approach
shots should avoid the right side of the
green, which drops quickly left to right
and can make for a difficult par.

“Westward Ho” — Players get their first

Chicago River which runs throughout
Glen View’s back nine. Position off the
tee is critical, and most golfers will lay up
short of the river. Longer hitters may elect
to carry the river and leave a wedge into

golf course will give the players a chance
at a makeable birdie putt.
