DESCRIPTION
Founded in 1899, LCC was one of only 30 golf clubs in the Chicago area at the time. Originally just a nine-hole course, LaGrange was laid out by architect Herbert Tweedie. Until 1912, the club resided very near today's layout. After a new clubhouse was fashioned and opened for use in 1913, the golf layout was expanded and redesigned by Thomas Bendelow with assistance from William Langford. But in 1921, the course was significantly remodeled by legendary golf course architect, Donald Ross. The core of his work remains today as the course's enduring, skeletal arrangement.
Through the years, minor renovations have been conducted by a host of architects including Edward Dearie, Larry Packard, Roger Packard, Bob Lohmann and most recently by the firm of Cornish, Silva & Mark Mungeam in 2004.
LaGrange Country Club hails as one of the founding clubs of the Chicago District Golf Association (1914).
