WHERE IT RANKS#29in Chicago— Ahead of Green Acres Country Club, just behind Long Beach Country Club
COURSE OVERVIEW
The prairie winds of central Illinois find their perfect dance partner across these rolling fairways, where strategic bunkering and mature oak groves demand course management over raw power. What elevates this daily-fee gem above typical Midwest layouts is the inspired use of natural elevation changes—rare commodities in these parts—that create dramatic approach shots into elevated, well-contoured greens. The closing stretch particularly shines, offering a stern test of accuracy where water hazards and strategically placed sand guard against sloppy execution.
