Rich Harvest Farms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rich Harvest Farms is a private, 18 hole, 1,800 acre golf course and country club near Sugar Grove, Illinois with 49 members. Owned by Jerry Rich, a self-made millionaire from inventing the UPC code ????? and graduate of Northern Illinois University. Rich Harvest Farms hosts the 2007 NCAA Central Regional Men's Golf Championships and Solheim Cup in 2009.
The official name is Plantation at Rich Harvest Farms.
In addition to a golf course and several private residences, the site houses several antique stage coaches and modern vehicles, including Al Unser's 1992 Indy car, John F. Kennedy's Lincoln convertible, and Princess Diana's limousine. The clubhouse is still currently under construction and is hoped to be completed in the next year.
The golf course is an extreme test of a golfer's skill. Measuring well over 7300 yards from the professional tees, the course requires precision with every shot. A famous hole, Devil's Elbow, has one of the most intimidating tree lined tee boxes and fairways of any golf course.
