Course history


In Lake County, the par-71 course is 6,645 yards (6,076 m) from the back tees; it has a course rating of 72.8 with a slope rating of 134,[1] on Chicago (bent) grass. Charles B. Macdonald designed the first nine holes in 1895; the second nine was designed in 1898 by Herbert J. Tweedie, James Foulis and Robert Foulis.[2] The course was subsequently redesigned by Tom Doak.



1906 U.S. Open


Onwentsia Club hosted the U.S. Open 112 years ago in 1906, won by Alex Smith.[3]



Tom Doak redesign


The club has panoramic views of the property at almost all points, and the Doak redesign keeps the integrity of some holes intact. The fescue and multi-tiered putting surfaces compensate for length on this gem. The name "Onwentsia" may have been inspired by the Illini name for the tuliptree, which grows in well-watered Illinois ecosystems.
