Onwentsia Club

Onwentsia Club is an 18-hole golf course in the central United States, located in Lake Forest, Illinois, a suburb north of Chicago.

Onwentsia Club hosted the U.S. Open 119 years ago in 1906, won by Alex Smith.

The fescue and multi-tiered putting surfaces compensate for length on this gem.

The name "Onwentsia” meant a meeting place - in the country - of sporting braves and squaws.
