Fifteen holes on Chicago's North Shore, laid out in 1895 and never expanded to eighteen
Fifteen holes on Chicago's North Shore, laid out in 1895 and never expanded to eighteen. The routing holds to that original oddity. Walking here means accepting the quirks of a course built before standardization took hold. Lake Forest terrain rolls gently enough that the extra three holes you'd find elsewhere won't save your legs. Private club expectations apply. Caddies know the angles on greens that predate modern agronomic thinking. The walk itself stays reasonable, though a few transitions between greens and tees stretch longer than the scorecard suggests.
