Hinsdale Golf Club
About Hinsdale Golf Club
Hinsdale Golf Club is a private club in Clarendon Hills, Illinois, with a history dating back to 1898. Its founders laid out a course on rough pasture land at a time when golf was still largely unfamiliar in the United States, traveling to the site on foot or by horseback.
Over more than a century, the club endured fires, wars and financial setbacks while gradually developing into the facility that stands today. It continues to emphasize the traditions established at its founding, serving members and their guests.
