Course

Exmoor Country Club

Highland Park, Illinois

 Founded in 1896, Exmoor was one of the first three golf clubs in the Chicago area. In its early years, the club became synonymous with championship golf, hosting numerous tournaments, which inspired new players and the public's interest in the new game of golf. Exmoor was one of the first golf courses to install sprinkler systems to all greens. It also established one of America's earliest caddie programs, under the direction of golf pro Alexander Taylor, a native of St. Andrews, Scotland, where his father was caddie superintendent at the Old Course.

In 1914 famed golf architect Donald Ross re-designed the Exmoor course, giving it the high-styled bunkers and imaginative green complexes for which Ross is known. More than 300 Exmoor members are playing a variety of roles in organizing the 2012 Western Amateur.
