Inwood Golf Course occupies flat former farmland on Joliet’s southwest side, its fairways bordered by drainage ditches and old hedgerows that once separated fields. Mature silver maples line several holes, their roots occasionally exposed where mowers have shaved the soil thin. The front nine runs generally west to east, crossing a low swale that gathers water after heavy rain and forces carts onto a narrow gravel path. On the back nine, two greens sit directly behind a tall earthen berm erected decades ago to dampen noise from nearby rail traffic. Irrigation heads are spaced at regular intervals along the rough, and the bentgrass putting surfaces are cut short enough to reveal faint mower stripes that run diagonally from tee to green. A modest white clapboard clubhouse, built in the 1960s, sits near the first tee; its porch offers a clear view of the opening fairway and the line of carts already forming at dawn.
