Northmoor Country Club's White Course occupies a wooded property in Highland Park, a North Shore suburb approximately twenty-five miles north of Chicago. Donald Ross designed the course in the 1920s, during a period when he was actively working throughout the Midwest. The layout reflects Ross's characteristic approach to routing over rolling terrain, with greens that feature his signature crowned surfaces and strategic bunkering that rewards precise approach play. The course moves through mature hardwood forests and across moderate elevation changes typical of the glacial moraine landscape that defines this section of the Chicago suburbs. Fairways are generally tree-lined, and the routing takes advantage of natural contours to create variety in hole length and playing angles. Ross's green complexes remain the central design feature, requiring golfers to consider both distance control and proper positioning to access certain pin placements. Northmoor has maintained its standing as a traditional private club in the North Shore community, with a membership drawn from the surrounding affluent suburbs. The club has hosted regional amateur competitions over the decades, though it has not been a major championship venue. The White Course represents one of several Ross designs in the Chicago area, contributing to the architect's substantial portfolio in Illinois during the golden age of American golf course architecture.
