Olympia Fields Country Club is a private 36-hole club in Olympia Fields, Illinois, comprising two distinct championship courses. The South Course was designed by Tom Bendelow in 1915 and was extensively renovated by Steve Smyers in 2007; the club currently lists it at par 72, 7,114 yards, with a 74.7 course rating and 144 slope. The North Course was designed by two-time Open champion Willie Park Jr.
and opened in 1923. Current USGA data lists its Black tees at par 70, 7,343 yards, 76.6 rating and 150 slope. Olympia Fields was founded in 1915 and by 1925 had grown to four 18-hole courses, making it one of the largest private golf complexes of its era.
The course is a 36-hole golf course. Designed by Tom Bendelow and Willie Park, Jr, the course originally opened in 1915. It is a private members' club. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Golf Lessons, Pro Shop, Club Hire, Golf Cart Rental, Restaurant, Bar, and 4 more.
Olympia Fields was founded in 1915 during the height of America's Golden Age of golf-course development. Tom Bendelow designed the club's first three courses, while Willie Park Jr. later produced the fourth, now known as the North Course.
The club reached 72 holes by 1925. Economic pressures during the Depression and World War II eventually forced the sale of two courses in 1945. The surviving North and South courses have subsequently undergone major championship-driven renovation work.
Few American private clubs have hosted as broad a championship résumé. The North Course in particular has staged men's and women's professional majors, national amateur championships and FedExCup playoff events.
Olympia Fields remains a private 36-hole club. The South retains Tom Bendelow's routing as renovated by Steve Smyers, while the North remains the principal championship venue and is entering another restoration phase.
