Itasca Country Club: Course Intelligence
Itasca Country Club operates on a piece of Itasca, Illinois Chicago northwest-suburban land. The course was designed during the early-1900s expansion of the Chicago-area country-club landscape and has been redesigned multiple times since with continuing agronomic-and-architectural updates. The club is part of the broader Chicago northwest-suburban country-club cluster.
The course plays around 6,400 yards par 70 from the back markers, with bent fairways and a slope in the upper 130s. The yardage is short by modern championship standards, but the routing's age and the mature deciduous canopy give the course defense that modern equipment doesn't overcome through length alone. The fairways play firm given the northern Illinois subsoil. The mature canopy through the property has grown to championship-narrowing dimensions over the club's century-plus history.
Itasca Country Club is private and access is members and accompanied guests only. The membership is regional Chicago northwest-suburban business and professional families. The hospitality model is traditional country club, and the club has stayed largely outside the destination-private trend.
Northern Illinois climate gives Itasca a playing season of April through October. The course closes through Chicago winter and reopens when the soil thaws. The mature deciduous canopy through the property and the autumn color through October are part of the routing's seasonal photographic signature.
