Edgewood Valley was founded in 1910 in La Grange,

Illinois, and moved to its current location in 1926.

William Diddel, a very well-known course designer

during this era, designed the golf course. Significant

efforts have been made over the years to maintain

the unique design features he originally installed.

As course improvements have been made over the

past few years, some of the most notable include

the complete renovation of the bunkers and several

changes to tee boxes in 2006. We trust you will agree

that Edgewood Valley ranks among the finest private

courses in the Chicago area, and is perhaps the

most fun and challenging to play on a regular basis.

We proudly hosted the Illinois State Amateur

Tournament in 2006, and as a testament to the

difficulty of our course only one player finished

under par. Other recent newsworthy events include

the hosting of the Tiger Woods Foundation/Ernie

Els Foundation & Fancourt Foundation Friendship

Cup during the Western Open week of 2006. Tiger

Woods, who recalled playing our course as a Junior

Amateur, attended both the event and a post-

tournament banquet with our Board of Directors.

While our course and club may still be one of the

best-kept secrets in Chicago, our commitment to and

support of Amateur Golf has been widely recognized

in the golfing industry.

As new Social, Regular, Social Waiting Regular

(SWR) or Executive Junior members, you and your

family will be welcome to participate in Club

activities including Dining, Swimming, Tennis, and all

Club Social Events. Certain golf events are also open

The Edgewood Valley social calendar is full of events

for adults, children and families. Some of our major

events include a 4th of July celebration that over

1,000 people attend, an Adult Summer Party, a

Wine-at-Wholesale Night, a Halloween Party and

special candlelit dinners during the Christmas season.

We host over twenty-five unique events annually for

our members to enjoy.

Edgewood Valley Country Club Members give

consistent support toward the WGA Par Club, which

provides annual funding for a college education

in the lives of more than 800 deserving men and

women caddies. Each Evans Scholarship provides

full tuition and housing for the recipient and can

be renewed over four years. Since its beginning in

1930, over 8,500 scholarships have been awarded.

EVCC Members are well known for their support of

the Evans Scholarships, and many of our members

participate in this outstanding form of philanthropy.

Edgewood Valley Country Club has two bowling

leagues: the Ladies’ Tuesday Morning League and

the Thursday Evening Husband/Wife Leagues. The

bowling leagues meet at a local bowling facility.

Teams are formed throughout the year and

competition takes place weekly. The Husband/Wife

League has both fall and winter sessions. Bowling is

a terrific way to meet other members.

At Edgewood Valley Country Club, we take great

pride in our outstanding 18-hole golf course. We

are constantly grooming and maintaining the course

to provide the best golfing experience possible.

Edgewood Valley Country Club is a member of the

following professional associations: the United States

Golf Association, the Western Golf Association, and

the Chicago District Golf Association.

Regular members of Edgewood Valley Country Club

enjoy full access to our elite course, and our Social

Awaiting Regular members enjoy some of the most

generous access policies in the area. Whether you

are looking for a quick round of 9 holes or the full

18, our course delivers the excitement and challenge

you are seeking. We proudly maintain an outstanding

caddie program to assist you as you golf.

The golf course renovation project in 2006 lengthened

the course and raised the total number of bunkers to

104. The course plays longer than its yardage due to

the well-bunkered, narrow fairways that wind through

the tall oak trees on our course. For example, hole

three is a short par-4 but features a severe dogleg. It

requires an incredibly accurate tee shot to have any

chance of hitting this green. While long-hitters may

have an opportunity to drive the ball over bunkers

and around some of the doglegs, the key to success

at Edgewood Valley lies in the greens. Placing your

approach shot on the correct side of each hole and

staying below the pin is the only way to succeed on

our small and fast greens.

In addition to our exceptional golf course, Edgewood

Valley Country Club features full practice facilities

including a driving range, a sand practice area and

a putting clock. Our Pro Shop is priced using our Mill

River discount plan and is stocked with golf apparel

and equipment to help you look great and play at

the top of your game. Our professional golf staff is

available for clinics, group and private golf lessons.
