Elmhurst Golf Club
Elmhurst Golf Club According to World Book, more than 26 million Americans play golf every year. There are 16, 000 golf courses in the United States, and 70 courses in DuPage County. Golf had an early beginning in Elmhurst. A nine-hole course, known as The Elmhurst Golf Club, opened in 1900. The 70-acre course reached from Grace Avenue west to Quarry Road (later renamed West Ave.), and from Elm Park Avenue north to Alexander Boulevard. The clubhouse, designed by Prairie style architect Walter Burley Griffin, was a gathering place for people of all ages to play golf, eat, play cards, or enjoy the view from the broad porch. The course was a popular social center with a full calendar of dinners, luncheons, dances, parties, and 4th of July fireworks. An invitation to a 1923 dance referred to "Elmhurst The Chummy Golf Club." The clubhouse had sleeping accommodations for non-resident members who wished to spend the night on golfing weekends. According to a membership application, the course had sufficient hazards, natural and artificial, to make the course one of the most interesting and sporty in the vicinity." An early score card, dated 1901, lists each of the nine holes, its name, distance, and bogey. For example, Hole Three, known as The Sandpits, was 328 yards long and bogey was five strokes. In 1905 the annual membership fee was $25.00. In 1919, however, there was an additional $2.50 charged for a War Tax. By 1924 Elmhurst was expanding, and land for residential construction was in demand. So a new, eighteen-hole golf course was laid out in Addison.

Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club Launches Footgolf
HERITAGE GOLF GROUP FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE In the Press FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR INFORMATION SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 Brady Boyd (843) 681-1703 PORT ROYAL GOLF & RACQUET CLUB ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF FOOTGOLF HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC - Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club, a Heritage Golf Group property, announces the launch of FootGolf, a relatively new sport that combines the popular sports of soccer and golf, starting October 2nd, 2014. The rules of FootGolf largely correspond to the rules of golf. FootGolf uses golf’s basic model including tee boxes, greens, bunkers, hazards, and 9-holes or 18-holes of play. The sport is played with a soccer ball on a traditional golf course with 21-inch diameter cups, set to the side of the traditional greens, instead of the traditional 4.25-inch diameter cups. Scorecards display par scores for each hole, just as in regular golf. In support of the launch, Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club will host a complimentary FootGolf Clinic from 2:00pm to 3:00pm on Friday, October 17th, 2014. Those wishing to join the clinic can sign up in the Golf Shop or call (843) 681-1766. Port Royal will offer FootGolf on Thursday-Saturday afternoons. The Port Royal FootGolf course, a 9-hole course on Planter’s Row (Holes 1, 2, 3, 10, and 11), takes approximately one hour or less to play. FootGolfers wanting to play 18-holes will be able to play the course twice. “We are very excited to bring this new sport to our Club. We see FootGolf as a way to reach new people that haven’t been to our club before (or perhaps haven’t been to any golf course before).
