Beverly Country Club
About this course
Beverly Country Club stands as a testament to enduring Chicago golf, its fairways whispering tales from the city's gilded age. Located in the historic Beverly neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, this classic parkland course unfurls across gently rolling terrain, a welcome respite from the urban sprawl. The mature trees, predominantly oak and maple, frame each hole, demanding strategic shot-making and rewarding those who can shape their approaches into the subtly contoured greens. A characteristic of the course are its blind shots. Designed by Herbert J. Tweedie in 1908, Beverly has seen subtle enhancements over the years that have stayed true to Tweedie’s original vision. While not a stage for major championships, Beverly holds a distinguished place within the Illinois golf scene, cherished by its members for its unwavering commitment to the traditions of the game. Beyond the golf, Beverly Country Club offers a distinctly Chicago experience. The membership is known for its unpretentious camaraderie, fueled by a shared love of the game and a fondness for classic Midwestern fare.

Getting there
Beverly Country Club sits in the heart of Chicago's South Side, accessible most directly from O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway International Airport (MDW), each roughly 30 to 40 minutes away depending on traffic patterns across the city. For those arriving by private aviation, Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) on the North Shore or Lansing Municipal Airport (IGQ) to the south offer closer alternatives, though the club's urban location means the final approach inevitably threads through established neighborhoods rather than open countryside. The drive from either major commercial hub carries you through the fabric of Chicago itself - past the downtown skyline's gradual fade, through the tree-lined streets of the South Side's most prestigious residential enclaves - before arriving at the club's dignified grounds, where manicured fairways and a storied membership have anchored this corner of the city since 1893.
