Toll Brothers built this gated community around Hawthorn Woods Country Club following the Village of Hawthorn Woods' 2003 development approval, with construction running from roughly 2004 to 2009 and totaling nearly 600 luxury homes. Unlike most other North Shore golf-adjacent communities researched in this batch, membership at the club is not optional: every homeowner must carry at least a Social Membership ($416/month, confirmed on the club's own site), which includes a resort-style pool, tennis, paddle tennis, bocce, fitness, and dining access. A higher-tier Golf Membership exists for residents who want playing privileges, at an additional, unpublished cost.
