North Shore Country Club

Years before the turn of the 20th century brought a blossoming of country clubs to the Chicago area, and the North Shore Golf Club was to be prominent among them. The popularity of established clubs like Onwentsia, Glenview and Ouilmette encouraged the search for well-placed pastures with a potential for golf course design. Several of Kenilworth’s more ardent devotees did just that when they decided to form a club of their own along the shores of Lake Michigan shortly before 1900.
