Beverly Country Club
2 reviews for Beverly Country Club
Beverly was founded in 1908, the Club had its choice of land and as such, picked its present location, which was on the edge of prehistoric Lake Chicago. The front nine is on the north side of what has now become 87th Street and the back nine is on the south side. The second plays downhill some forty feet from the rim of what was the edge of Lake Chicago into the lake basin while the uphill seventh takes the golfer back up. As for the back nine, it is set through the sand dunes that bordered the lake thousands of years ago.
The holes themselves are a sturdy lot, and the golfer is not surprised to learn that Beverly has hosted everything from the 1931 US Amateur (won by Francis Ouimet) to the 1967 Western Open (won by Jack Nicklaus). In addition, Chick Evans and Arnold Palmer have won here too. In addition, many a student of architecture, including Ron Whitten, has been impacted by their time at Beverly CC.

Not many places that combine so well conviviality and an outstanding layout. Forget the neighborhood. When you're at Beverly, you're in another world.
