The Glen Club in The Glen. Great golf, dining and lodging.

by

Stunning!  That’s the view my husband and I had while dining at The Glen Club last weekend.  The club is in The Glen in Glenview, a development with luxury homes and an upscale retail area.  We ate on the patio and loved the serene and beautiful view of the course.

The Glen Club is well known and highly regarded. It’s an 18 hole championship course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The course is beautiful to look at and challenging to play. Golf Magazine has rated it the fourth best courses you can play in Illinois and among the Top 100 in the United States. When it opened in 2001 Sports Illustrated listed it as a top 10 new course. A stately 48,000 square feet clubhouse provides overnight lodging and first class dining. The club offers private corporate memberships, but it is also available to non-members.

Many Glen homes have great views of these picturesque golf courses. Fifty-five magnificent “estate” single family homes in the Southgate subdivision border The Glen Club’s course as do nine stunning townhomes in Tower Crossing. Several homes in the lovely Westgate and Patriot Commons neighborhoods also have great views.

If you are a golfer who may be interested in living in The Glen, please contact me for additional information. I am a long time Glen homeowner and an award winning Realtor.

Major Golf Tournament starts today in The Glen

by

My husband and I walked over to The Glen Club for dinner last night.  It’s an easy walk, about half the length of a football field, from our Tower Crossing townhome, one of nine neighborhoods in The Glen.  I noticed banners announcing a major golf tournament, so asked about it in the clubhouse.  I learned that the new Evans Scholars Invitational Tournament begins today and runs through May 26.  This is a Web.com tour, and it is being managed by the Western Golf Association (WGA).

The Glen Club hosts major PGA tournaments including the BMW Championship each year, and they bring a lot of excitement to our neighborhood.  This award-winning club was designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio.  The tournament will raise money for college tuition and housing scholarships for deserving caddies across the country.  Nearly 1000 Evans Scholars are currently enrolled at 18 universities.

The Glen Club is one of two golf courses in The Glen.  The other is the Glenview Prairie Club, a beautiful 9-hole course, also a short walk from most any home in The Glen.  The Westgate at The Glen residential neighborhood borders both clubs.  Golf is but one of the wonderful advantages of living in The Glen.  Our “main street”, called Glen Town Center boasts scores of terrific restaurants and upscale shops and boutiques.  Battery Park is also located in The Glen with a lake, walking and jogging trails, tennis courts and playgrounds.

This is an incredible place to live.  We have single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Home prices range from the $400s to over $2 million.  If this sounds like the kind of neighborhood you would enjoy living in, please give me a call.  I am an award-winning Realtor and long time Glen homeowner.

Golfing in The Glen

by

It’s spring, and that means golf.  Here in The Glen we are fortunate to have two – count them TWO – wonderful golf courses, both within walking distance of any Glen home.

A wonderful thing about living in The Glen is the availability of  The Glen Club and Glenview Prairie Club.  Both courses are of high quality and they are open to the public. The Glen is a Chicago area north shore residential and retail development.  There are over 2,000 luxury homes of all types, and home prices range from the $300’s to over $2 million.

The Glen Club is well known and highly regarded. It’s an 18 hole championship course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. The course is beautiful to look at and challenging to play. Golf Magazine has rated it the fourth best courses you can play in Illinois and among the Top 100 in the United States. When it opened in 2001 Sports Illustrated listed it as a top 10 new course. A stately 48,000 square feet clubhouse provides overnight lodging and first class dining. The club offers private corporate memberships, but it is also available to non-member individual golfers.

The Glenview Prairie Club offers Paddle Tennis courts as well as golf. The course is meticulously maintained (by The Glen Club!), and it is beloved by Glen residents who prefer a shorter round of golf.

Many Glen homes have great views of these picturesque golf courses. Fifty-five magnificent “estate” single family homes in the Southgate subdivision border The Glen Club’s course as do nine stunning townhomes in Tower Crossing. Several homes in the lovely Westgate and Patriot Commons neighborhoods also have great views.

Diverse home types at Cambridge at The Glen

by

Cambridge is the most architecturally diverse neighborhood in The Glen. Most Glen neighborhoods are composed of either traditional single family homes (such as Southgate, Chapel Crossing, and Landings) or attached properties (such as Tower Crossing’s townhomes and Glenshore’s condos). In Cambridge, however, you have more choices.

A little background. The Glen is a luxury residential and retail development on the grounds of the former Navy airbase in Glenview Illinois which closed in 1995. It is composed of nine neighborhoods with privately owned homes, plus assisted care and retirement communities. The neighborhoods with privately owned homes have over 2,000 residents. Glen Town Center, The Glen’s popular retail area, offers scores of restaurants and shops…convenient to all homes in the development. Two outstanding golf courses, including The Glen Club‘s 18 hole championship course designed by Tom Fazio, are adjacent to The Glen.

Back to Cambridge. This neighborhood has 279 beautiful homes; here is the breakdown by home type:

  • 108 townhomes and row homes
  • 104 traditional single family homes
  • 35 duplexes
  • 13 two-flats
  • 19 estate-style single family homes

Home prices in Cambridge range from the $400’s to over a million dollars. There is also great diversity in the sizes of these homes, from less than 2,000 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet. The large estate homes and striking townhomes grace a grand boulevard in the center of Cambridge, while charming Rockwellian “front porch Americana” homes adorn smaller side streets with names like Butterfly Lane and Sundrop Drive.  Tasteful landscaping enhances the beauty of the Cambridge neighborhood and of each home.

Cambridge at The Glen is about living the good life …comfortably, conveniently and fully. If you may be interested in The Glen, please contact me. I have been a Glen homeowner since 2003; and I am an award-winning north shore Realtor.
