Fifteen holes. Not nine, not eighteen. Fifteen. McHenry County Club operates on its own terms, a private throwback that predates the standardization of golf course design. The layout dates to 1921, and the odd hole count has stuck around ever since. Walking is straightforward here. No dramatic elevation shifts. No cart path marathons between greens and tees. Just a compact routing that makes carrying your bag feel natural. Private means fewer crowds, which means faster rounds on foot. The quirky setup might confuse scorecard purists, but walkers will find a course built for simplicity over spectacle.
