About McHenry Country Club

McHenry Country Club is a private 18-hole golf club at 820 North John Street in McHenry, Illinois. The club dates to 1922 and occupies ground beside the Fox River. Current course databases list a par of 71 and approximately 6,636 yards from the longest rated tees, with a course rating of 72.5 and slope of 134.

The present architecture reflects work by several later golf-course designers, with Dick Nugent, Bob Lohmann and Michael J. Benkusky all associated with the course. Available sources do not clearly establish which architect, if any, designed the original 1922 routing, so none of those later names is assigned as the original designer.

Origins

McHenry Country Club traces its establishment to 1922. The surviving public sources reviewed during this pass do not identify a sufficiently reliable original architect, so the early design should remain unattributed rather than assigning a later architect retrospectively.

Development

The course has been modified over time, and current golf-course databases associate Dick Nugent, Bob Lohmann and Michael J. Benkusky with its architecture. Those names reflect later work rather than a verified original 1922 design attribution.

Today

McHenry remains a private 18-hole club. Current published course data gives par 71, approximately 6,636 yards from the longest rated tees and a 72.5/134 rating and slope.
