About Us:
Indian Hill Club is a private, family full-service club on the North Shore of Chicago. Located just minutes from urban Chicago, blocks from Lake Michigan and easy access to the far north suburbs we offer an outstanding opportunity to live in a variety of metropolitan environments and work at a high level club.
In 1914 a group of enterprising young men combined their vision, 250 acres of farmland and their desire for a first-class golf club in their own backyard which propelled them to establish a beautiful course on 120 of those acres.
A fraternity of leading gentlemen of Winnetka sought to establish a place where "games and play and entertainment of all kinds may be practiced and pursued…" As ground was broken for this new club, many Indian relics were discovered and found to emanate from a variety of tribes, from the Miami Indians to the Potawatomi of Michigan. The parcels of farmland purchased are believed to be ancient Indian burial grounds, from which came the permanent club's name: Indian Hill Club.
Initial course layout designs from Herbert H. Barker, designer of Chevy Chase and Columbia courses in Maryland, were revised shortly with the hiring of O.C. Simmons, a noted landscape architect. In addition to Barker, two renowned golf architects, H.S. Colt and Donald Ross (acknowledged to be one of the greatest golf architects of all time) were called in to perfect the course and bunker designs.
