Located just northwest of Chicago, Park Ridge Country Club is home to a historic 18-hole golf course whose roots date to the club’s founding in 1906. Originally designed as a nine-hole layout by H.J. Tweedie and expanded by Tom Bendelow, the course was rebuilt in 1915 by renowned architect William B. Langford, whose bold, strategic design remains its defining influence today. Later renovations by David Esler and Greg Martin have preserved that character while enhancing the course’s bunkering, playability and strategic challenge.

Park Ridge has a rich history in Western Golf Association and Women’s Western Golf Association championships. The club hosted the 2017 Western Junior and the 2021 Women’s Western Amateur, won by Marissa Wenzler. The Women’s Western Junior will return to Park Ridge in 2027 for the first time since Shirley Johnson won the championship there in 1934. The return will coincide with the 100th playing of the historic championship.
