Fort Sheridan Master Plan Update
A Fort Sheridan Master Plan Advisory Committee was created to make a recommendation about the future of the golf course and other public uses at the Fort Sheridan preserve.
Committee members included representatives from neighboring cities and park districts, Forest Preserve Commissioners from those communities, the Fort Sheridan Homeowners Association, the U.S. Department of the Army and the 10th District Congressional office.
At their final meeting on Nov. 17, 2010, a majority of the committee favored sending a recommendation to the Forest Preserve Board that they put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) from private developers. See details.
Send your comments to the Forest Preserves Board of Commissioners.

The golf course was constructed by the Army in the late 1960s. It opened for public play in May 1994 when the Lake County Forest Preserve District assumed ownership.
