Old Elm opened in 1913 on gently rolling ground near Lake Michigan and is one of the few Harry Colt designs in North America, with Donald Ross administering construction on site. Drew Rogers began a restoration in 2010 that continues, widening the course and favoring firm turf and short-grass surrounds over rough. It is a men's club with a very low public profile and ranked No. 94 in GOLF's 2024-25 U.S. Top 100.
