Since 1901
A premier private club for the entire family
Our club was established in 1901 in Elgin, Illinois. It offers a wonderful retreat for members, families and guests. Set on rolling terrain with majestic oak trees, our Tom Bendelow–designed championship golf course provides a unique experience, and our dining areas look out over it.
With substantial investments in golf course enhancements and clubhouse renovations in 2023 and 2024, we continue our legacy of excellence. As a member-owned club we embrace diversity and inclusivity, fostering a community enriched with limitless recreational and social opportunities.
