Special Club Features
Lake Shore Country Club is one of the few Private Clubs on the North Shore of Chicago to be located right on Lake Michigan. After our major Clubhouse and Pool Renovations in 2019, the club has been as busy as ever.
Although the Club's facilities and activities of interest have changed over the past century, the spirit of Lake Shore remains the same—a family-oriented home away from home for generations of families, many of whom are descendants or members of the original founding families.
Club is open
6
days per week,
10
months per year.
