For nearly 100 years, Silver Lake Country Club has been part of the fabric of Chicagoland golf. Introducing generations of golfers to the game in Orland Park, Silver Lake remains one of Illinois’ most historic public golf facilities. https://t.co/CdUf4jsTvF

Great day at @RavisloeCC. A Donald Ross gem.

Beverly Country Club has it all—Donald Ross design, major championship history, and one of the best restorations in Chicago. Now with a new short course, practice facilities, and clubhouse renovation, it’s as relevant as ever.

Jackson Park Golf Course isn’t just a muni—it’s where public golf in Chicago began.

Opened in 1899. First public course west of the Alleghenies. Still shaping the game today.

And now… it’s quietly evolving.

Riverside Golf Club was founded in 1893… but the course you see today was shaped in 1917–1919 by architect William B. Langford.

➡️3 clubhouse fires.
➡️Hosted the Illinois Open.
➡️A true Chicago golf survivor.

The Fox broadcast of the WBC game is horrendous! Crowd noise up to 10 and announcers at like 3! How is it that anyone with Fox is listening to this and going “yeah that sounds great”!?!

🎙️ New Podcast: Golf architect Greg Martin explains why great golf courses aren’t about length—they’re about strategy.

Westmoreland CC (Wilmette) has been shaping Chicago golf since 1911. 🏌️‍♂️

Originally designed by William Watson (1912) and later refined by Langford & Tillinghast, it hosted the 1917 Western Open and Patty Berg’s 1938 U.S. Women’s Amateur win.

St. Andrews Golf & Country Club in West Chicago turns 100 in 2026. ⛳️ From its 1926 architectural roots to the Joe Jemsek legacy that helped shape Chicagoland public golf, this is a century worth celebrating. https://t.co/8IxxHBukiZ

Could Chicago get the world’s first full-length indoor golf course? ⛳🏟️

I interviewed the founders of Megalodome Golf about their plan for 300-yard holes inside a massive climate-controlled dome — launching as early as 2027.
