OLD WAYNE GOLF CLUB

The rolling prairie terrain west of Chicago serves up one of the region's most honest tests of golf, where mature oaks frame elevated greens that demand precise approach shots. Wind becomes your primary adversary here, especially on the exposed back nine where links-style conditions can turn a comfortable round into a grind. What sets this layout apart is its commitment to strategic architecture—every hole rewards course management over raw power, making it a thinking player's paradise that never resorts to gimmicky design.
