This George Fazio course set along the Des Plaines River opened in 1975 and offers a stern test from the tips. With a 129 slope, this is not an ordinary "resort" course. Though not long, the front side demands absolute accuracy from tee to green. The 154-yard 9th, with a rock piling at river's edge, is one of the area's most scenic (and intimidating) par 3's. Four long par 4's dominate the back nine, with mature trees and water on nearly every hole. Three PGA Senior "rabbits" qualified for the 1996 Ameritech Senior Open on this beautifully landscaped course that uses old Milwaukee Line railroad boxcars for covered bridges.
