Hilldale Golf Club is in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, off I-90 at Barrington Road in Hoffman Estates, surrounded by a residential development.

The layout is parkland-style, winding along tree-lined fairways, and a course management drill with numerous risk/reward opportunities. Water is in play on 13 holes, OB is on 7 holes, and sand bunkers defend the landing zones and greens. It's not long, at 6,432 yards, 71.3/130 course/slope ratings from the tips, and three shorter tees. It's a Robert Trent Jones, Sr. design.
