Edgewood Valley Country Club

Edgewood Valley Country Club, nestled in the verdant western suburbs of Chicago, possesses a certain old-school charm fostered by generations of members who value camaraderie as much as competition. This is a club steeped in tradition, where the echoes of laughter and spirited matches resonate across its rolling landscape. Designed in the classic parkland style, Edgewood Valley presents a fair test within its tree-lined boundaries. Donald Ross protégé, William Langford, and Theodore Moreau, sculpted a course that emphasizes strategic play rather than brute force. While not overly long by modern standards, subtle doglegs and well-placed bunkers demand thoughtful club selection, rewarding players who can shape their shots with consistency. The club has a vibrant competitive schedule with club championships and member-guest events always booked well in advance. The course has seen relatively little change over the years, a testament to the enduring quality of the original design. While not a regular host to televised tournaments, Edgewood Valley stands as a respected venue in the Chicago area, hosting numerous state and regional amateur events over the years. The club's annual Fourth of July celebration, culminating in a dazzling fireworks display over the 18th green, is a beloved tradition that binds the membership together.
