RICH HARVEST FARMS

The Jerry Rich design sprawls across 300 acres of rolling prairie west of Chicago, where massive elevation changes and forced carries over natural wetlands demand precision from every tee. What separates this layout from typical Illinois tracks is the sheer scale—fairways stretch 80 yards wide in places, yet strategic bunkering and native fescue still punish wayward shots. The par-4 7th drops 100 feet from tee to green, creating one of the Midwest's most memorable approach shots into a green guarded by a stone wall.
