History
Olympia Fields Country Club's North Course, designed by Willie Park Jr. and opened in 1922 in the Chicago Southland, is the finest remaining Willie Park Jr. design in America. Park, twice Open Champion and a preeminent Victorian-era designer, created a course of strategic elegance on the rolling Olympia Fields terrain. Its par-70 layout demands precision on demanding two-shot holes, with Park's trademark diagonal hazards and angled fairway bunkers. Jim Furyk won the 2003 U.S. Open here with a spectacular 72-hole score of 272.
Signature Hole
