About this course
Chicago Golf Club was founded in 1892 by C.B. Macdonald and built the first 18-hole course in the United States at its original Belmont site in Downers Grove. The club moved to Wheaton, where Macdonald's new course opened in 1895; Seth Raynor reworked it in 1923. It was one of the five founding USGA member clubs in 1894 and hosted the U.S. Open in 1897, 1900 and 1911 and the Walker Cup in 1928 and 2005. The course joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
