Private/Semi-Private Lessons

To meet the demand for golf in Highland Park, Sunset Valley Golf Club and the Park District of Highland Park is now partnering with The Golf Practice to deliver the most comprehensive approach to golf training on the North Shore.

Prioritizing a learning environment over the traditional teaching environment.

Here’s how we approach our coaching:

Student-Centered Approach: Instead of simply providing answers, we guide you to discover solutions on your own, building your ability to self-diagnose and problem-solve.
Flexible, Portable Skills: We focus on developing adaptable skills that work in the ever-changing conditions of the game—whether it’s a different course, weather, or mental state.
Mindset Over Mechanics: Our goal is to change your insights about the game, not just your swing. With new insights, habits evolve naturally.

Our Focus

Research shows that experimentation and flexibility lead to deeper learning than rigid drills or expert models. We aim to:

Foster Growth, Not Fixing: We’re not here to simply correct mistakes, but to help you develop a better understanding of your game and how to adapt it to any situation.
Self-Coaching Skills: By shifting your mindset and deepening your understanding, you’ll become capable of self-coaching and adjusting when challenges arise.

Named Chicago's Top 10 Public Golf Course Clubhouses

If you’re a golfer, you already know that the unique British Heathland design makes it one of the finest, must-play courses in Chicagoland. And now, with the opening of The Clubhouse at Sunset Valley, we are a destination for Highland Park foodies who appreciate enjoying chef-designed meals and obsessively good service, all provided in a unique environment.

The Clubhouse is the latest creation of Relish Catering Kitchen, well-known for its “from scratch” approach to creative cooking. Their innovative, elevated versions of your favorites—juicy burgers, specialty sandwiches, decadent salads—are available for a quick lunch inside or at the bar, and we make sure every golfer gets the attention they deserve at a classic 18-hole course. Beyond the best versions of everything you’d expect to find on the menu, prepare to be surprised by the unexpected—Pulled BBQ Chicken and other seasonal chef specials. Our reputation for extraordinary Club-Level service is now matched by an exceptional dining experience.

What sets this restaurant apart from anything else on the North Shore is the opportunity to dine outdoors, enjoying the dramatic, panoramic views the course affords. Our expansive trellised patio and veranda include comfortable seating and conversation-enhancing fire pits. It’s a relaxing spot for lunch and dinner, and the stunning sunsets are an off-menu extra special treat when sipping your favorite beverage or one of our signature cocktails.

The Clubhouse is also available to book for your special event, another specialty of the experts at Relish. The combination of a custom designed menu and white-glove service always exceeds expectations and garners rave reviews every time. The staff at Sunset Valley is ready to talk to you and walk you through this beautiful venue.
