An award-winning businesswoman and leader, Jamie Thorsen has stayed active in her retirement through pursuits such as golf. As a resident of Chicago, Jamie Thorsen lives in a city that, according to Golf Digest, has developed a reputation as the country’s public golf capital. According to experts, Chicagoland’s best public courses include:
1. Cantigny Golf Club – This 500-acre Wheaton estate comprises three nine-hole courses — Hillside, Lakeside, and Woodside — befitting their respective names. Since opening in 1989, Cantigny has earned a place on Golf Digest’s Best in State rankings.
2. Harborside International Golf Center – Golfers have their pick of two 18-hole links-style courses at Harborside International, located south of Chicago’s downtown. While navigating the windy conditions, players can take in picturesque views from one of the region’s highest points.
3. Prairie Landing Golf Club – Another links-style layout, Prairie Landing boasts a design by prolific course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Challenges at the West Chicago venue include strategically placed bunkers and fast, hilly greens.
