BREAKING NEWS: Rich Harvest Farms, a private club in Sugar Grove and host of the 2009 Solheim Cup, is one of seven clubs that will host the prestigious Western Amateur.
Following this year's tournament at Point O'Woods Golf & Country Club in Michigan, the Western Golf Association will be returning one of the top amateur tournaments in the world to the Chicago area after nearly 40 years.
The clubs included in the rotation to host the championship are:
2009 - Conway Farms Golf Club, Lake Forest
2010 - Skokie Country Club, Glencoe
2011 - North Shore Country Club, Glenview
2012 - Exmoor Country Club, Highland Park
2013 - Olympia Fields Country Club (South Course), Olympia Fields
2014 - The Beverly Country Club, Chicago
2015 - Rich Harvest Farms, Sugar Grove
"We couldn't be happier with the rotation we've been able to put together for the next seven years," WGA tournament director John Kaczkowski told The Beacon moments ago. "The clubs we've put together share a common theme in that they're all strong supporters of the Western Golf Association and the Evans Scholars program, but they're all, first and foremost, fantastic golf courses."
