Dog Walking in Golf
The village of Golf in Cook County covers half a square mile, and has a population of just under 500. Although it is tiny, it still has plenty to offer visiting pups. This area is rich in woodland areas to explore and pup-friendly parks to play at, and is less than 20 miles north of Chicago.
The must-do while in Golf is to walk the North Branch Trail
which runs right through the woodland areas of Golf. This paved trail runs
almost 20 miles from Northbrook north of Golf, to Chicago in the south. You
need to keep your dog on a lead here, but it is an easy path with plenty to see
along the way, and you can choose to wander as far as you like. As always when
venturing out on a hike, go prepared with your water, any snacks you might
like, and your clean up bags.
Deiderich Park in town is another great little green space to catch some fresh
air with your dog. You can go for an on-lead walk around the park, or just stretch
out on the grass and watch the world go by. From here, take a walk through the
town of Golf and check out the historic buildings and shops. You and your dog are
sure to enjoy your time here in Golf.

beautiful park worth checking out in this area is Gallery Park in Glenview. There
are paved walking trails circling Glenview Lake for a little on-lead stroll

children will love to play at while you walk the surrounding paths with Fido. Adjacent
to the park is a shopping centre where you will find several options for a
pup-friendly lunch out. Eggsperience Pancakes and Café, Noodles & Company,
Yard House, Potbelly Sandwich Shop and Forever Yoghurt all allow dogs at one of
their outdoor tables while you enjoy your meal or refreshing drink.

five miles from Golf is the Community Bark West Dog Park in Glenview. Here, your
pup can escape the lead and run to his heart’s content, burn off some energy
and meet some new friends. You will first need to purchase a pass from the Glenview
Park District, so go prepared with all of your dog’s veterinary paperwork. The
fenced six-acre park is well-maintained and has walking paths throughout. There
are water fountains for dogs and people, and waste disposal facilities on-site
to keep the place clean for all users. You can supervise your pup while taking
some time out at one of the benches or under the shelter.
