Skokie Country Club is a private country club in Glencoe, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.
Founded in 1897, it features a 6,913 yard 18-hole course. In 1922, it hosted the U.S. Open that was won by Gene Sarazen. It has also hosted the 1909 Western Open, the 1952 Women's Western Open, the 1998 U.S. Senior Amateur, and the 2010 Western Amateur.
The original course was designed by Thomas Bendelow in 1904. It was turned into a Donald Ross course in 1914 when he redesigned it. Then in 1938 William Langford substantially reworked the layout with respect paid to the integrity of Ross's intentions.[1]
