Private Clubs & Country Clubs in Glencoe

Lake Shore Country Club is a historic private golf club founded in 1908 along the shores of Lake Michigan in Glencoe, Illinois, one of Chicago's most distinguished North Shore communities. The original 18-hole course was designed by Golden Age architects William B. Langford and Theodore Moreau, featuring dramatic elevation changes and bunkering patterns that have been carefully preserved through restorations by Bob Lohmann in 1991 and Ron Prichard in 2017. The club has hosted notable USGA championships, including the 1949 Western Amateur and the 1972 U.S. Women's Amateur, cementing its place in American golf history.

Skokie Country Club is one of Illinois's oldest and most historically significant private clubs, founded in 1897 and situated in Glencoe on Chicago's North Shore. The course carries the architectural imprint of Donald Ross, who completed a major redesign in 1914, with subsequent work by William Langford and a 2003 restoration by Ron Prichard preserving its classic character. Skokie has hosted three USGA championships, most notably the 1922 U.S. Open won by Gene Sarazen and the 2010 U.S. Amateur won by Peter Uihlein, cementing its place in American golf history.
