Biltmore Country Club is a private 18-hole club in North Barrington, Illinois. The club traces its present property to the former Grace farm, which Clifford Leonard purchased in 1925 as part of an approximately 800-acre development that became Biltmore Estates and Country Club. The golf course was designed by Leonard Macomber and completed in 1926.
Current Chicago District Golf Association rating data lists the Blue tees at 6,700 yards, par 71, with a 73.3 course rating and slope of 134. Six additional men's combinations extend down to 4,970 yards, while women's ratings are published from the White through Red markers. The club remains a private country club rather than a daily-fee facility, with golf accompanied by broader family and social amenities.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 71, 6,700 yards, course rating 73.3 and slope rating 134. Designed by Leonard Macomber, the course originally opened in 1926. It is a private members' club. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Bag Storage, Dining, Swimming, Tennis.
The property had been the Grace farm when Clifford Leonard, a director of the First National Bank of Chicago, acquired it in 1925. Leonard's plan transformed roughly 800 acres into Biltmore Estates and Country Club, conceived as a family-oriented weekend retreat with golf and other outdoor activities.
Leonard Macomber was commissioned to lay out the original course on the estate property. The club's history specifically identifies him as the architect rather than the other designers occasionally attributed to Biltmore in secondary directories.
The golf course was completed in 1926 and became the sporting centrepiece of the new Biltmore community. Buildings from the Grace property were reused, including the former stable as the professional shop and bag-storage area.
Biltmore remains an 18-hole private country club in North Barrington, with current CDGA ratings stretching from 6,700 yards down to 4,970 yards.
