Hickory Hills Country Club
About Hickory Hills Country Club
Hickory Hills Country Club has occupied its wooded setting on the edge of Chicago since 1917. The property sits on glacial moraines, and the rolling terrain left behind by retreating ice sheets gives the course its characteristic rippling fairways.
The club offers two layouts: a championship 18-hole course playing to a par of 71, designed by James Foulis, and an executive nine-hole course designed by William B. Langford, a founding member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. Both wind among mature willow trees and rolling hills, combining scenic character with terrain demanding enough to test a range of shots.
