The photo below was taken in 2007. (double click to zoom) The native forest and wetlands were remarkably well preserved during development of the golf course and surrounding neighborhoods. Bittersweet truly is a wonderful environmental asset for the Gurnee community. And the golf course is located, within walking distance, for many people to enjoy.
