Nestled against Cook County Forest Preserve land, the Mary Mix McDonald Woods, and the Chicago Botanic Garden, our course is an important natural habitat for a variety of plants, birds, and insects. The Glencoe Golf Club is committed to being strong environmental stewards, protecting this land from the impact of commercial development and supporting the species that depend on this land.<\/p>\n

The monarch butterfly\u2019s population has declined by more than 90 percent over the last two decades and was sadly added to the endangered species list in 2022. One of main drivers in the decline of the migratory monarch\u2019s population is the use of herbicides, resulting in a loss of milkweed, essential for monarchs\u2019 reproduction. To combat this decline and the decline of other key pollinators, The Club at Glencoe has created, conserved, and protected monarch butterfly habitats and planted milkweed and other nectar sources throughout the property. The Club is also a registered Monarch Waystation and a member of Audubon International\u2019s Monarchs in the Rough program.<\/p>\n
