ORG WHAT’SNEW “He put some bunkers back in, took some trees out, expanded some greens and widened some fairways to get back to the original design,” Exmoor head professional Ron Romack explains. Prichard also lengthened the Exmoor layout, which was built in 1896 and remodeled by Ross in 1914. The building of eight new tees expands the course by about 300 yards.

MAY/ JUNE 2004 21 WELCOME BACK Village Links of Glen Ellyn, perennially one of Chicago’s busiest public layouts since its opening in 1967, will be available for play again on June 23. It’s been renovated by Garrett Gill and Paul Miller, and Gill’s involvement is especially meaningful since his late father, David Gill, did the original design for The Links. The revamped layout will play 200 yards longer from the back tees and 200 shorter from the front. “The new course will be noticeably different in several respects,” remarks general manager Matt Pekarek. “The greens complexes will be the part most improved from the design standpoint. The greens will be much more varied in shape, and they’ll be more interesting with their mounds and depressions. They’ll be about 20 percent bigger in size and they’ll be deeper. The biggest difference in playing the course will come in the short game.’’ While The Links will be slow in opening, it’ll be going full tilt once the first tee shot is struck. Just five days after seeing its first rounds, the renovated course will host the general qualifying round for the Western Open. The Links has hosted that qualifier since 1980 with the exception of 1986, when it hosted the Illinois Open instead, and last year, when construction forced a move to Bolingbrook Golf Club. 22 CHICAGO DISTRICT GOLFER PHOTO BY MIKE KLEMME Kemper Lakes GC remains open for public play during its transition to private club. Here, the approach and green of no. 11, a 534-yard par 5; the 12th fairway is visible at right. GOING PRIVATE For 25 years, Kemper Lakes Golf Club has been recognized as one of the finest pure golf facilities in the country. Kemper Lakes has played host to some of the greatest players in the world as the site of dozens of elite golf events, including the 1989 PGA Championship won by Payne Stewart, six Senior PGA Tour events and most recently, the inaugural LaSalle Bank Open. In an unprecedented move for the Chicago area, Kemper Lakes is in the process of converting from a nationally ranked public golf course into a fully private golf club.

  • Golf Is Once Again a Family Affair at the 2020 Champion of Champions
    GOLF IS ONCE AGAIN A FAMILY AFFAIR AT THE 2020 CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS Park Ridge, Illinois, October 8, 2020 By Dennis LaLiberty Patrick Keegan of Morris Country Club fashioned a steady one over par round to earn a slim but solid victory in the Richard E. Peterson Champion of Champions tournament played at Park Ridge Country Club. There was plenty of competition as 72 golfers stepped up to the first tee, with three competitors finishing at two over par, just one stroke behind Keegan, who spent a nervous 60 minutes as leader in the clubhouse while his closest competitors were still out on the course. Keegan designed his game plan after one practice round the previous Sunday and executed it with workmanlike consistency. As so often happens, it was the Park Ridge course’s “Last Mile,” the four finishing holes, which proved decisive. The 18th hole did take its toll on Keegan, who came to the tee at even par and left at one over after his third bogey in a round that featured birdies at #’s 2 and 13, with the previous two bogies coming at #’s 7 and 10. For most of the day it looked as if Brian Hickey of Edgewood Valley Country Club might become the second lefthander to win since Park Ridge became the host club, but the final two holes proved his undoing. Hickey came to #17 at one under par and left #18 at two over after a double at #17 and bogey at #18. Hickey’s playing partner, Brian Barrett of Royal Melbourne entered the “Last Mile” at plus one, but recorded bogey at #15, then just missed a redeeming 6 footer for birdie at #16, which, after he played the last two holes in regulation, produced his two over round.

  • The Golf Course Architects of Park Ridge
    THE GOLF COURSE ARCHITECTS OF PARK RIDGE The Story of the men who shaped the Park Ridge Country Club Golf Course PREFACE When the game of golf and its golf courses had their beginnings in the United States in the late 1800s, there was no such thing as a golf course architect per se. Virtually all of those who “laid out” the rudimentary courses on which the game was played were players of the game, some professional and some amateur, and they continued in the dual role of player-designer. It wasn’t until the second decade of the 20th century that golf course design began to separate itself as a singular career, a career that blossomed into the glorious title of golf course architect in the “Golden Age” of the 1920s. The primary designers (architects) of the Park Ridge Country Club golf course followed the early pattern. H.J. Tweedie was both an active player and course designer until his untimely death in 1906. Tom Bendelow was the first to emphasize course design over playing as he traversed the country laying out courses. In 1918, William Langford became the first Park Ridge architect to form his own course design firm. David Esler was formally educated in landscape architecture. He interrupted an early career as a golf course architect to take a stab at professional golf, but quickly returned to form a course design company. The objective of this document is to provide additional information about the careers of the course architects who formed today’s Park Ridge golf course.

    The Western Amateur Championship Records & Statistics Guide 1899-2017 for te 116t Westrn Amatur, July 30-Aug. 4, 2018 Sunset Ridge County Club, Nortfield, Il. 15t editon compiled by Tim Cronin A Guide to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the 116th Western Amateur Championship, and the 15th edition of The Western Amateur Records & Statistics Guide, as the championship comes to Sunset Ridge Country Club for the first time. For well over a century, the Western Amateur has provided some of the best competition in golf, amateur or professional. This record book allows reporters covering the Western Am the ability to easily compare current achievements to those of the past. It draws on research conducted by delving into old newspaper files, and by going through the Western Golf Association’s own Western Amateur files, which date to 1949. Last year, a major expansion of the Guide presented complete year-by-year records and a player register for 1899 through 1955, the pre-Sweet Sixteen era, for the first time. Details on some courses and field sizes from various years remain to be found, but no other amateur championship has such an in-depth resource. Remaining holes in the listings will continue to be filled in for future editions. The section on records has been revised, and begins on page 8. This includes overall records, including a summary on how the medalist fared, and more records covering the Sweet Sixteen years. The Guide is in two sections covering 203 pages. Part 1, which is 76 pages, includes a year-by-year summary chart, records, a special chart detailing the 34 players who have played in the Sweet Sixteen in the 62 years since its adoption in 1956 and have won a professional major championship, and a comprehensive report the Sweet Sixteen era through both year-by-year results and a player register.
