Chicago Golf Club
Wheaton, Illinois
One of the five founding clubs of the United States Golf Association in 1894, Chicago was also the site of the nation's first 18-hole course and the first to host the U.S. Open outside of the northeast. With only 107 members and a steeplechase worth of hurdles to clear in order to get in, it's no wonder that little has changed there in 100 years. Driving up to the colonnaded white clubhouse, you half expect to see a horse buggy come 'round the bend.
